Has NYC Mayor Lost His Mind?


From the realm of “What the hell could you possibly be thinking” comes this little nugget.

After being pummeled by Hurricane Sandy, with the loss of life, including a NYPD Officer who died saving his family, mounting and with utter devastation to countless communities, including over 100 homes destroyed in Breezy Point, Queens, what does the fearless Mayor of New York City think is a good idea? If you guessed focusing on rescue and recovery……….. You’re Wrong!!!!

Nope, to Mayor Mike, what the city really needs to do is focus on the NYC Marathon.

This blustering bully billionaire once again thinks that he knows what is best for everyone else. Not that it matters what anyone else truly thinks, he is going to do what he wants anyway.

So, while many New York City residents are dealing with power outages, no food, and utter chaos the mayor is redistributing resources to the NYC Marathon.

Staten Island is in bad enough shape, and he is knocking out the only way in or out from the New York City side. I guess if they need help badly enough New Jersey can try to get to them.

Oh and how could the press ever survive without the three massive generators set up in Central Park to accommodate them? Two to accommodate the power needs, and a backup in case one of the other two goes down.

In addition, there are apparently other generators sitting outside the park that are also not being used. Hundreds of cases of water are also being brought in for the runners. I wonder if the people in the hardest hit areas could use some clean water?

Not to mention the redeployment of police officers from the jobs they need to be doing, to standing foot posts on the marathon route.

Seriously? Under the circumstances, and out of respect for all of those who lost loved ones and maybe all their earthly possessions, shouldn’t the marathon have been canceled or at least postponed till the basic necessities were being provided?

I guarantee you one thing; Mayor Mike has power as do all his affluent friends.

Is this really what is passing for leadership in this country?
