To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough!
You got rats on the West Side
Bed bugs uptown
What a mess this town’s in tatters, I’ve been shattered
My brain’s been battered, splattered all over Manhattan…”
What the heck is going on in New York City?
Each morning I pick up the newspaper there’s something crazy going down.
Can’t even watch the news anymore. It’s sad and so depressing.
My friends send me video clips of looters, protestors fighting with cops and shootings of innocent people. There’s graffiti all over buildings. Someone even tagged up on St. Patrick’s Cathedral. SMH.
Disrespect for the police in the city is at an all-time high.
Civilians on the streets throwing bottles at cop cars. A female tossed a Molotov cocktail at a police van.
Have you ever seen the film “Escape From New York?”
I saw a disturbing video clip of a guy fighting a cop, putting him in a headlock and taking him to the ground.
It’s bananas.
A recent article in the New York Post mentioned protestors at City Hall attacked a news reporter. In the article it mentions that a few of them were calling out to female cops telling them how much they want to “fuck them.”
Remember Officer Tommy Doyle from the 7-2? When you saw him you ran the other way. He once rolled up on us on the Parkside and poured out our beers.
There must have been 30 teenagers that night. We were all underage drinkers. We listened. Didn’t fight back.
Doyle told us to take a walk. We walked into Prospect Park, and after Doyle and his partner left, we made our way down to the Bodega on 15th street for more beer. Maybe we didn’t listen too well?
Is there any hope for better days ahead? Are we at a point of no return?
Everyone needs to keep a cool stool.
Is there any leadership in the Big Apple?
Stay safe my friends, stay safe.
