I don't like agreeing with Peter King. But, mygosh he makes a point. Look at the way NYC handled 911 and Boston handled the Marathon bombing. Best not to mess wit those areas. They fight back and get stronger when they're attacked.
Yeah, let's not pick a highly-educated, successful, self-made man for the presidency, let's elect a real estate heir who had the way paved for him. That'll show 'em.
No, they go back to sleep afterwards. You think electing someone like De Blasio is good for NYC security, seriously?
I love New York,both the state and the city.
We have vacationed in several areas of New York. It’s beautiful.
Cruz is an idiot.

I can't speak for NY, but in Boston the entire city "sheltered in place" for 48 hours.
And when Speedbump and Flash-bang were apprehended, everyone wore "Boston Strong" t-shirts.
I am a small-town semi-rural kid myself, and when I moved to the "big city" (very big -- Los Angeles & county, some 8 million souls, not to mention another 8 million souls total in adjacent counties) and it was hit with the Northridge earthquake, I was humbled at how resourceful, smart, and innovative were all those city folks I'd been scorning and making fun-of all those decades. Meanwhile, the rest of America believed the horse manure that the MSM was dramatically foisting on them about how we So Cal folks were "devastated" and paralyzed, but the reality is that WE (I was one) working folks who had to go on earning a living in spite of the chaos, proceeded to do so barely skipping a beat, working around inconveniences caused by that quake. Not one smidgen of the MSM reported it, though, and I think a lot of us here were secretly amused and proud that while the rest of the world wrongly perceived a bunch of chickens running around with their heads cut off, in truth the only ones doing that were the MSM reporters; we real folks were going about (and quickly) picking up the pieces and pressing on.
For that reason, I bet that NYC is in may ways much the same in its spirit -- I have learned the stupidity and foolishness of underestimating "city folk." Yes, for country-raised folks like me city folk are kinda dim and removed from reality in a lot of ways that make you go "Hmmm ..." but they are also wonderfully sensible and resourceful in a pinch, every bit as much as country folks, just in different forms.
Before you go off on how "anti-gun" Southern California is, think twice. I go shooting locally,, legal right down the line, with literally hundreds of So Cal "city folk" friends on a regular basis.
