I didn't think I was giving into media hysteria. If I came off like that, I apologize. And thinking on it now, I probably came off like that, feeding into the folks who don't particularly like NYC.

I suppose I am offended by the stupidity of the whole thing. NYC is still not some safe wonderland of shopping and drinking.
