City councilman says Qeens, NY may devolve into anarchy soon...people requesting COLD BEER?
When night falls in the Rockaways, the hoods come out.

Ever since Sandy strafed the Queens peninsula and tore up the boardwalk, it’s become an often lawless place where cops are even scarcer than electrical power and food. Locals say they are arming themselves with guns, baseball bats, booby traps — even a bow and arrow — to defend against looters.

...

“We booby-trapped our door and keep a baseball bat beside our bed,” said Danielle Harris, 34, rummaging through donated supplies as children rode scooters along half-block chunk of the boardwalk that had marooned into the middle of Beach 91st St.

“We heard gunshots for three nights in a row,” said Harris, who believed they came from the nearby housing projects.

Carly Ruggieri, 27, who lives in water-damaged house on the block, said she barricades her door with a bed frame. “There have been people in power department uniforms knocking on doors and asking if they’re okay, but at midnight.”

And another local surfer said he has knives, a machete and a bow and arrow on the ready. Gunshots and slow-rolling cars have become a common fixture of the night since Hurricane Sandy.

“I would take a looter with a boa. If I felt threatened I would definitely use it,” said Keone Singlehurst, 42. “Its like the Wild West. A borderline lawless situation.”


City Councilman James Sanders (D-Far Rockaway) said he fears the situation will devolve into anarchy.

“We have an explosive mix here,” said Sanders. “People will take matters into their own hands.”


...

“If you are heeding into the Rockaway beach to assist, there is a request for firearms, hot food, and cold beer. These next 24 hours are critical for these folks, the government has really let them down,” Meyer posted on Facebook Thursday.

The media is going to start vilifying Obama the same way they vilified Bush after Katrina, right? Just any second now, right? Because Sandy is Obama's Katrina.

WHERE IS OUR PRESIDENT? WHY DOESN'T HE CARE ABOUT PEOPLE? WHY IS HE SO SLOW TO HELP OUR FELLOW AMERICANS IN THEIR TIME OF NEED?

Why should he help those that never botherd to help themselves in normal times ?. These people are the scum of your country, 90% never paid tax but just took what they could get. All they are doing now is attacking their nieghbours instead of bading together to solve their problems.

So why should they now get even more help. Hard working Americans paid for insurance, paid their taxes, betterd themselves, this lot just expect the state to bail them out when bad shit happens.

You nailed it. The federal government bails them out. Bails out the big insurance companies, also, and basically subsidizes them by allowing residential and other construction in places there shouldn't be due to the high probability of a natural disaster of some type [usually flooding]. In essense these are back-door pay-outs to the construction industry, real estate industry, big box [Think: Home Depot, etc.] industry, lawyers and accountants, etc.

 Quoting: Laura Bow



They should add cans of wasp/hornet spray to that list. Easy to use, cheaper than guns. Guns are great but it is doubtful that anyone is going to be taking a truckload of firearms into there, which is what they really need.

Wasp spray is almost as good as bear spray and much more effective than pepper spray. Range of 15 to 25 ft, no blowback and a blob of it in the face requires medical treatment.

Several cans could be placed in handy locations inside your dwelling. Gives you time to get away or get to a more powerful weapon. Costs average about $4 a can.

Those people can't go out and buy anything right now but some might have a can or 2 of wasp spray sitting under the sink or in the garage.

If anyone is going there to help, take a few cases of that stuff with you.

Really? Good luck with that. Houston didn't want the Katrina criminal refugees but they got about 100,000 of them, thanks to Gov. Goodhair agreeing to accept them. Crime rates soared and the place has turned into a hellhole in many areas. (A zillion illegal aliens hasn't helped either.)
