Hopefully the mayor will call the press to crush a couple of dirt bikes and scooters soon. People are real upset. Perhaps he can dismantle a couple of unused outside dining sheds also while he is at it.

They don’t care about speed limits, lights or stop signs. In my area the other day, I saw a guy riding an ATV. NYC is a driving and walking city – get rid of all of the bicyclists and e-whatevers. They’re noisy, dangerous and don’t belong in NYC.

Pat- It must be exhausting carrying the weight of all defenseless and vulnerable police officers.
