Staten Island residents already suffering from the ravages of Hurricane Sandy say they are now seeing their neighborhoods infiltrated by squatters and looters.
As CBS 2’s Dick Brennan reported Wednesday, when darkness sets in on Wavecrest Street in New Dorp, people say squatters make their move – crashing empty homes wrecked by the hurricane.

Preppers’ PING!!
It has been 5 months since Sandy and yet there are people right here on FR that insist that if you prep beyond a few days or a couple of weeks you are crazy.
And the people are disarmed by New York gun laws. Otherwise, you could stay in your house and shoot looters like they should be.
Where are the police in all this activity? Just traveling from one donut house to the next?
Ah, the pleasures of living in liberal hell.
Ok New Yorkers, sooner or later you are going to have to revolt.
Why not now?
Get it over with and perhaps we can all have the pleasure of watching Bloomberg hang.
Again and again (I’ll DVR it.)
Remember when everything that happened in New Orleans after Katerina was President Bush’s fault?
Why, he wanted to kill and starve black people in order to steal elections in the Chocolate City.
Today - barely a peep of what is happening in the NE after Sandy. And certainly no blame for obama.
The massive bias of our press.
Wait a minute. Didn’t 0 bummer say he would do everything to get that area fixed with federal aid? Who would have thunk he lied again.
first of all, it wasn’t a hurricane....
“Ah, the pleasures of living in liberal hell.

Those of us out in flyover country would think so, but the libs are all brain-dead. I’ll never understand it. I hope they enjoy devending what property they have left with a 9-iron.
Unless you are politicaly connected, you can forget about police help, they are there to control and jail the producers, when said producers fail to produce enough to satisy the parasites. Nothing more. The police and politicans are included in the parasite category.
People who are worried about survival shouldn’t live on a street called “Wavecrest”.
When I lived in Los Angeles I knew a guy who commuted from a private enclave inside the Los Padres National Forest. He was worried about the “new age people” in North Carolina who made boys wear girls clothes. Not as wacky a concern now as it seemed then, thirty years ago, but not the biggest thing to worry about.
He showed me a picture of the view from out his front window there in the forest. His front yard was the San Andreas Fault.
Money quote:
“But Sumner said it is not just the squatters, but the looters, too. They have tried to break into his Sandy-ravaged home next to the trailer where he has been living temporarily.
But he said he has managed to fight back, with many different weapons, including a cane, a baseball bat, two rakes, and a stick. When asked if the weapons work, Sumner said they usually do not.
“They usually run away from the big rake, but the baseball bat, they look at you and it’s like, ‘What are you doing? Are you kidding?’” he said.
Not to worry, the people of the neighborhoods will band together and commonly defend themselves....
....Wait. I forget, this is New York. Never mind.
When asked if the weapons work, Sumner said they usually do not.

At least there's no red tape to deal with.
Staten Island is NY; Christie would do something to stop this because he was elected specifically to stop the flight of white taxpayers to other states.
Hey, it was only "rich" whiteys who could afford properties on or near the water. Nothing to see here, move along...

As somebody who lives by some of the damaged areas in NJ, I have no sympathy for anyone who voted Dem who is now awaiting assistance from the govt.
Sort of like living on a street called "Riverfront" in the South or Midwest.
“Hey, it was only “rich” whiteys who could afford properties on or near the water. Nothing to see here, move along...”
That was the case in parts of NJ (where vacation homes were destroyed/damaged); a lot of these places in NY are hardly resorts. A lot of damage wasn’t just along the ocean, but along the banks of the rivers that flow into it.
