I am sure the mayor and the governor sleep well, unburdened as they are by the possession of a conscience.
"I wonder ... how does this mayor and governor sleep at night ... KNOWING their winking at lawlessness permitted people who needed help to not get it and die."
This is not without precedent. David Dinkins let fellow blacks engaged in a vicious a pogrom rampage for three days in NYC without lifting a finger to help the Jews (many of whom probably voted for him). I'll bet he hasn't lost a wink of sleep. Anyone capable of allowing such a thing in the first place would not be likley to suffer fom even a twinge of moral doubt afterwards.
