Charges included burglary, criminal mischief and trespassing. In one incident, three men were arrested on burglary charges after they struck a Radio Shack in Rockaway Beach, Queens, on Tuesday morning. Bloomberg promised "a very heavy police presence" in the darkened neighborhoods, which include much of Manhattan south of the Empire State Building, from the East River to the Hudson River. Even outside the blackout areas, police deployed vans and patrol cars with their roof lights on, along with officers on the streets in a robust show of force. NOTHING like the debacle that was New Orleans. To start with the NYPD is not nearly as corrupt as the NOLA police was. This is true. But that was only part of the problem. True. The corruption started with the governor herself, and worked its way all down the line. So you don't think the robbers, killers, burglars, etc. had any hand in anything eh? That sounds very Harryesque. They simply followed the example of those in leadership positions. You should know that, Kevin. |

They also seemed to ignore the warnings about having several days of supplies and a hurricane kit with flashlights and other tools they need. Some guy was selling flashlights for $20. We also see FEMA still takes over a week to actually do anything of consequence in spite of white victims, 8 years of reforms and a democratic president. Storm came Tuesday. This is Friday. FEMA is all over the place. Learn to count, Mr Perfect. Again it is the US military to the rescue, flying in power company trucks from California (probably to be sure they are union). The navy is bringing in ships for logistic support and the national guard is doing what they always do in emergencies, backing up first responders.. Only crackers believe your anti-union bull**** paranoia. Prove it. The Nat Guard always provides help. They are auxiliary cops. The above sentence is a good example of your lack of knowledge about the National Guard. The Navy is doing squat. 20 guys with front end loaders can do more good clearing roads than the entire Navy, and they'll do it before the Navy gets a single ship underway. Navy isn't needed. And it won't matter if the loader drivers are union or not. |

Where is FEMA's food and water? I know a lot of people down there and there is nothing... They are still walking too because of trees and wires. There are sections of the city where search and recovery efforts haven't even begun yet, the locals say the death toll is gonna' go up fast when the FD and FEMA get in there... |

FEMA is all over the place. Learn to count, Mr Perfect. They don't seem to be in Staten Island. What are they doing "all over the place", actually providing some kind of relief or just looking? FEMA is nowhere.. I don't know one person who has actually found a truck yet.. They just keep getting the run around and waling from "false alarm" to false alarm and getting excuses... These folks are literally dehydrating from lack of food and water in some areas still. |

Bull**** The current FEMA rules are you can't build below sea level Yet they allowed them to do it there again, just setting the taxpayers up for another fall. You can talk about NOLA all you want. That was a levee failure. I'm talking about Sandy. Staten Island is above sea level, and no ****ing building code - except requiring stilting or concrete bunker construction - would have saved those buildings from the storm surge. And despite your saying "be prepared, because it happens all the time," the Sandy storm surge MADE HISTORY. http://seaandskyny.com/ So the bottom line is ANY community close to an ocean and not elevated sufficiently can suffer a disastrous storm surge. Or a Tsunami. Nobody will prepare for a +300 year event like you want them too. Florida codes don't protect from a strong cat 5, they just anticipate what's fairly common there. So your suggestion that Florida building codes be de rigueur elsewhere is flat wrong. They don't seem to be in Staten Island. What are they doing "all over the place", actually providing some kind of relief or just looking? Find out yourself. It's easy enough. Don't get all jacked up when you post non-fact and it gets challenged. BTW, FEMA is for when building codes don't work. Otherwise we wouldn't need it. We could just huddle inside our bunkers until the storm passes. |

Folks who base their judgements solely on political finger in the wind, are easy to spot here. I have dozens of friends "down there" right frekin' now. I don't have to "find out for myself" and neither does Greg, all he has to do is listen.. .... you are not gonna' get this stuff from Cobert or Stewart... It's easy enough.

I've even seen some of the wackos claim the Nat Guard doesn't do cop duty in disasters and riots. We know better. I've actually seen that in action. Feels okay to me. It's better to know what you're dealing with, so it's all good. |
