It's ugly now, but it won't get violent. NYers are cowardly government worshipping sheep. They will baa a little and the few that have guns (other than the criminals of course) will turn them in to the NYPD. Then later they'll get into the rail cars - trusting government to look after them.
“NYers are cowardly government worshipping sheep.”
For the most part, you are right. NY could turn into Berlin, 1936 very easily. And the NYers would cheer it.
