I remember New York then. My Dad’s war college class visited the U.N. in October 1963 by train which came into Pennsylvania Station just weeks before it was demolished. Went to the World’s Fair in 1964 & 1965, stayed with friends in Manhasset L.I.
The murder of Kitty Genovese shook the nation, even just after the JFK assassination. I was 15, remember it clear as a bell.
Again, hope her killer croaks in lockup. Vermin like that & their liberal enablers are what ruin a city. I’m afraid New York is in for a wild ride that will make David Dinkins look like a hanging judge.
” I’m afraid New York is in for a wild ride that will make David Dinkins look like a hanging judge.”
Same here. And it doesn’t help with others on this supposedly conservative site interjecting that they hope New Yorkers suffer, which presumably includes the minority of conservatives here, in their condemnation. So much for holding on to American territories American since the country’s founding.
I’m glad he got to see the old Penn Station before it was demolished, truly grand, and a much better way to start a day than the commercial hamster-tunnels that replaced it.
Kitty Genovese’s attacker was vile enough to have raped again, during an escape from custody. He was meant to get the death penalty at his original trial, with the judge even claiming he’d be willing to perform the execution. Post-Dinkins, New York cleaned house a bit. So here’s hoping that after the Sandinista mayoralty New York will really clean house like never before.
