o Residents claim they are the 'forgotten victims' of Sandy
o Also say that lack of power and law enforcement means more looting and violent crime
o Those in stricken areas stockpiling weapons like kitchen knives, machetes, and bats to protect themselves
o Coney Island residents say they are forced to 'scavenge for food like animals'
o Power unlikely to be returned to Brooklyn, Queen's and Staten Island until sometime next week
Almost one week after superstorm Sandy struck the East Coast with its ferocious force, power was still out to some 2.5 million customers due to damages, down from 3.5 million on Friday, the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Electricity Delivery & Energy Reliability claimed.
The state with the largest number of outages by far is still New Jersey with 32 percent of customers without power, it said it a report.
And as the lights begin to flicker on in Lower Manhattan, nine percent of customers across the state of New York still do not have power, followed by seven percent in Connecticut

Go get ‘em, RightSide! I’ll be casting my vote tomorrow, though I doubt it will do much good here in NY. We NY Conservatives are counting on the rest of the country to carry us over the top!
Regards and hopes for the continued safety of your family,
As for poor NYC.
ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.
Who is the Duke of New York, A #1? Al Sharpton? Maybe he will kidnap Bloomberg and take over.

On a positive at the end of the shift today a stranger handed them 2 cases of cold beer.If you see the crews on the road honk and give them a wave.It means a lot.
“ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.”
Classic!
Bloomberg is a lifelong whore. Not worthy of even a cheap knock-off version of Mrs. Dash.
“I actually think there is a good chance he might, and he could win the rat nomination.”
Great point! The RAT field for ‘16 should be wide open and their bench is pretty thin.
Here is something that the media is either blind to, or does not want to bring attention to:
Obama claims that he sides with OWS, and says the "rich don't pay their fair share," and yet he depends on rich leftists like Bloomberg for contributions, endorsements, etc.
Goldman was Obama's #2 contributor (second only to U of Cal.) in 2008. See Bought and Paid For: The Unholy Alliance Between Barack Obama and Wall Street by Charles Gasparino.
After one week without electricity, phone and heat the power is now on! Back to eating some real food. It was cold and very boring and depressing. But I’m thankful that it wasn’t worse. Schools, Gas stations and many businesses are still closed.
