I’ll keep this one short…wtf is up with all these muggings, robberies, and jumpings…?
Within the last month, three people I know, one being myself, have been mugged in and around Brooklyn & Manhattan. The first, an East Village musician, was mugged and beaten up somewhere around 13th St and 1st ave. A few weeks after this, I was jumped on my own doorstep for my iPhone, but I chased the fucker down and got it back. And just today, a friend of mine got jumped in his own neighborhood, but managed to get away from the muggers before anything of value was stolen.
Two people (who I would love to let loose in a lion’s cage at the zoo) asked me after my incident: So, you managed to get yourself mugged, huh?
What? I MANAGED to get myself mugged?!? Yes, it’s definitely something I had control over. Obviously something you have no control over is your brain! Assholes!
The best though is due to the economy and the fiscal crisis the city is facing, the Mayor is asking every city agency to cut, cut, cut spending. Well, we need MORE policing, not less.
