Some of the looting seems to have been well-organized, high-tech, with expensive SUVs (some with out-of-state-plates) rolling up to collect the loot.
NYC, the people of - just reaping what they sowed - vote for socialists and their policies - get socialism. Get every one over the age of 50 released from prison regardless of conviction, sentence or crime committed. Use police contributions to bail out looters and refuse more police contributions. Arrest 70 plus looters and release them without bail, so they can all go out in time to get mote good loot as is their apparent right.
As a New Yorker,I am more disgusted with NYC, DeBozio and Cuomo ,than I am with the rabble allowed to cause the damage they did, all in the name of “justice”. I cannot even begin to think what was going on in the mind of the NYPD police Commissioner, who was not allowed to stop this thing from the onset. NYC was hurting to start off with. It will be a very long time for it to fully recover from the insanity allowed to occur. I for one will never pay a visit or spend a dime in NYC, ever again.
Cuomo and DeBlasio- two peezy headed pu$$ies who don’t have a clue.
No taxpayer bailouts, at least not on the Federal level. New York residents need to reap what they sow for their votes.
My grandfather retired from Macy’s. My father worked there when my older sister was born. She was the first baby whose birth was covered by the Macy’s employee’s health insurance plan in 1949.

Geneseo to Jamestown to Chenango, then back up over Ithaca to Geneseo. Map with times at the link.
BTW, How did those 1968 riots work out for the Democrat party?
The entire NYC population is affected by this disaster. The sum reaction is all capable residents will vote with their feet.
Know one individual with $200,000/year Park Ave. office, $5,000/month rent now 1,000 miles away. Changed state of residence, closed NYC office, no more NYC rent, no more NY & NYC income tax. ETC.
Multiply this to all who can that will exit Gotham. The desolate NYC canyons loom.
