I didn’t mean to sound pissy....if I did, sorry. My bff’s brother was supposed to run in the marathon and sent out an email whining about how yes people are suffering now, but just like after 9/11, we all came together and next year we’ll run it for Sandy, blah blah blah.
Talked about the people who were going to be out “protesting” the marathon and he was very “saddened” by that.
The whole thing just irked me...still does.
They were right to cancel the Marathon because they would have been running right through lower Manhattan where there was no power, water, transportation, etc.
And 9/11 was a different thing altogether, we didn’t want to show terrorists that they changed our way of life.
