It baffles me that New Yorkers just bend over and take that stuff.

In most places, when an identifiable group of people, (e.g. city government employees) is such a bunch of jerks to everyone they would normally be abused right back until they stop being jerks.

Imagine if the government of Detroit acted that way. The inspector would come out to find their car on blocks three days a week and nobody would admit to having seen anything.



survivorship bias, in New York only the people who are rich enough to avoid all these rules or the ones who will bend over and take it are left. We literally just had a president who bribed the NYPD to get his concealed carry license.


> bribed the NYPD to get his concealed carry license

This is in the supreme court right now, hopefully it gets overturned and average people can start protecting themselves. We have the same BS law in CA…”prove you need a conceal carry, no death threats aren’t enough…”


Nope. Usually people take it and take it until they can't take it anymore and go berserk.
