"How do we feel about Ithaca? It's hard to say because it leaves a sad taste when something like that happens,"

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

City of Evil bump:

Yet another reason I’m glad I’ve skipped the Ithaca Festival since around 2001 when it started accelerating downhill.

"We're very careful with money."

No, you weren't, and as a direct result of that, now it's gone. And instead of stating that you've learned not to be so naive as to leave $700 in a basket on the street and turn your back on it and you'll be more careful next time, you just keep saying that you're "sad."

GROW THE HELL UP!

In Ithaca that’s just welfare for thieves.

1.3 million folks in Maine.
I've been there. VERY small. I was on a tour and on the Sunday morning I asked about the Catholic Churches and their services.
The city we were in had ONE Catholic Church and there was ONE service: 11:00 A.M. THAT was it. Kind of surprised me because I am used to traveling around Europe and there are churches EVERYwhere. Broadened MY horizons, about my own country.

City of evil alert!

[hoosierham]

Leave money in a basket unwatched? Dumb AND stupid.

[Chode]

A woman working at the recycling bins nearby told him a young man grabbed the basket and headed north around the back of Press Bay Alley, but didn't feel it necessary to tell him at the time it happened...

RATS is as RATS does

[Objective Scrutator]

It could also be like Atlantic City, where you have dimwits like this guy who try to rob vendors.

[soycd]

>We’re very careful with money.

Not if you have all of it out in the open with shoe kids running around, you idiot.

[Rockpile]

Cut the young man some slack folks.
He may be a poor deprived Cornell sociology major who needed money for food and protest signs.

It's a different country than the one I grew up in.

I can still remember my first duty station in the Marine Corps after I was done with boot camp. When I was assigned my barracks, the sergeant in charge showed me a $50 bill that he kept under his pillow on his rack (bed). These were open barracks with 40 Marines on either side with a common head (bathroom) in the middle. He said he kept it there to prove that Marines didn't steal from each other and he wanted every Marine to feel secure that their possessions were safe, even though there was absolutely no privacy. Everybody knew the money was there but nobody ever took it. Nor did anything else ever get stolen from any Marine to my knowledge.

[Bullish]

Naaah... Had to be a lilly white Trump supporter.

[beethovenfan]

Hey, the guy was just practicing socialism. They had money, and he didn’t. it was just redistribution in action. Bernie would be proud.

[faucetman]

“.....on the 130 block of West State Street.....”

Actually that would be...... on the 130 block of West State Street/Martin Luther King Jr. Street.

A large majority opposed (can you believe it?) the name change to Martin Luther King Jr. Street, so they “compromised”. They just ADDED Martin Luther King Jr. Street to the existing name “State Street”. So now it is West State Street/Martin Luther King Jr. Street. or East State Street/Martin Luther King Jr. Street.

Now that is a mouthful. This is called appeasement. Some idiot comes up with this BAD idea that nobody wants, but because it HAS been brought up and we can’t risk offending the Black community, we end up with this RIDICULOUS street name.

BRING BACK MAJORITY RULES, PLEASE! We are suffering under the OPPRESSION of the minority.
