New York City turns Feral

Things are very bad in NY City - gas lines several hours long, food shortages and people regressing to common thuggery. From ABC News:
�We Need Food, We Need Clothing�: Staten Island Residents Plead for Help 3 Days After Sandy
The residents of Staten Island are pleading for help from elected officials, begging for gasoline, food and clothing three days after Sandy slammed the New York City borough.

�We�re going to die! We�re going to freeze! We got 90-year-old people!� Donna Solli told visiting officials. �You don�t understand. You gotta get your trucks down here on the corner now. It�s been three days!�

Staten Island was one of the hardest-hit communities in New York City. More than 80,000 residents are still without power. Many are homeless, and at least 19 people died on Staten Island because of the storm.
From Yahoo News/Reuters:
New York fuel "panic" grows even as ports open, reserves tapped
A third day of gasoline "panic buying" among storm-stricken New York area motorists prompted authorities on Friday to tap strategic oil reserves and waive shipping regulations even as limited deliveries resumed in the battered region.

Faced with losing another day of business, William Torrens got up at 5 a.m. in East Rutherford, New Jersey, to queue for fuel. The owner of All Clear Plumbing waited for four hours in a six-block line at a Sunoco station before finally getting gasoline for his truck and home generator.
And I had posted earler about the non-union electrical lineworkers being turned away by the union thugs. The workers filmed the confrontation and it was jaw dropping. Haven't found it online yet but heard the audio a few hours ago -- the Union workers are calling the workers from Decatur scabs and chanting Union over and over again. What a bunch of stupid apes...
