You realize, of course, that all this bottled-up tension at being unable to kill and steal during this cold snap, will only result in a mass rampage once the weather warms up again.
The deaths from the exposure to cold and the economic damage wrought from the extended deep freeze, no doubt, probably tend to keep the death and destruction of property in about the same balance as the uninterrupted pillage visited upon the people of NYC during warmer periods.
You’re exactly right. When the weather warms up after the winter, the savages from the projects flood into Manhattan to rob people to make up for lost time when it was cold. It used to be called “Chain Season.” Now it’s called “iPhone Season.”
