  1. People that have lived thru the trauma of Sandy and it’s aftermath have a right to let off a little steam with these statements. And that’s all this is, a statement of frustration. Not a promise to break the law or exact revenge.

  2. I lived in the Sheepshead Bay neighborhood for about a year. There are more sasquatch in Sheepshead Bay than there are guns, and looters know it.

  3. Awesome image and message. Sadly, Ralph is probably all too right regarding the statistical likelihood of a would-be looter encountering armed resistance in any borough or section of NYC. The good part is that I think that that’s about to change.

    • According to a friend who lives there, a few looters got “surprised” by how wrong the statistics are. As my friend says “but THAT story will never make the news”.

  4. from the photo linked:

    “While the looting situation has not been that bad in Sheepshead Bay compared to other hard hit neighborhoods, we haven’t been spared completely.
    Greenlawn Bungalow Colony resident Bruce Z. wrote to us, “There has been looting here every night. I put this in front of my bungalow.”
    I sure do hope it helps. And I hope no one steals the skeleton.”

    from the following comments to the above post at the site:

    – “Ohhhhh man. This hurricane sparked the argument in my boyfriend, who lives with me, on why we should have a gun. We haven’t experienced any problems but I admit that looting was a concern of mine.”

    – “I hear the corner store on Sheepshead and Emmons got raided when the windows blew out >.>”

  5. My concern regarding Sandy with my elderly dad still being in Brooklyn was his post-storm safety. Then I remembered how locals stand up to punks during adversity. The image is now my daily desktop and has a permanent place in my skull collection. There are many more guns in NYC than Bloomie wishes to acknowledge, here’s BK giving a “leetle” reminder…….
