This has got to be a joke, right?
We have a hotline for people that want to report illegal conduct, threatening conduct, and other emergency-inspired conduct. It’s called nine-one-one (911).
It says they’re concerned with businesses relocating and endangering New York City’s $1.286 trillion GDP. I say let’em go. New York is one of the safest big cities in America when it comes to gun violence. Any business that’s planning to relocate if they don’t get a hotline is ran by a reactionary idiot that’ll put your trillion-dollar GDP in jeopardy anyway with their sheer stupidity.
They’re gonna get homeland security and all these counter terrorism folks together in a circle jerk and go “yeah, yeah, more funding for us because terrorism is bad.”
I am beyond disgusted. I hope the hotline gets clogged with bullshit calls from dawn until dusk and they’re forced to shut it down for how much time and energy it wastes.
Improve 911. Improve safety for everyone. If businesses aren’t happy with that, they need to leave. They don’t need special treatment because of their feelings. Do any of us get special treatment from the NYPD when we’re afraid? I mean, not for nothing, but I went to a precinct during my psychosis episode years ago to report that I believed I was being poisoned and they told me to go away, no questions asked. We can argue whether they were wrong or right because obviously the truth of the matter is I had not been poisoned. But we sure as hell didn’t roll out a special hotline when several people were shot by NYPD on the subway, and we shouldn’t roll out a special hotline now.
How many people have family members gunned down by gang violence? Where’s their hotline?
I don’t care if it costs a dime. Waste of time and money better spent on almost anything else.
I did take the time out to let the governor know this.
