Why don't these left wing protesters march through the uber-wealthy liberal enclaves on the North Shore? It's easy for the media and woke twitter to sneer at the "trashy" white ethnic proles on the South Shore; quite another when it's where the people who raise money for the DNC and work for Woke Capital live.

Contrast that with here, new people moving in all the time but also people moving within the town (or between towns) without giving it a second thought. Even if it means their kids switch schools. The idea of buying a house here and staying in it till retirement is almost unheard of. When the HS graduation signs go up, often so do the "for sale" signs.

Buying and selling is so much simpler outside NY and people aren't so strapped for cash that most people I know buy their new house and move in before selling their old one. Friends of mine just did it and they don't even make a ton of money.
It was the same in FL. Super transient. I knew people that went through 3 or 4 houses in a 10 year span

The north shore has a little bit more tact than the south shore. The north shore is also more tolerant of others as long as they pay the price to live there whether its the price of the house, the price to park at the Manhasset train station etc. You have Asians and Iranian Jews in Great Neck, Asians and well off white catholics in Manhasset and you have blacks in Spinney Hill. Also Great Neck is the most liberal of the North Shore towns, Manhasset is the republican bastion of TONH and the north shore in TOB is conservative.

its time to take a serious look at donald trump, whats happening in america is making vladamir putin proud


its stuff like this the CIA has done in other countries its now being done to us.


yet people still wave the trump flag as their country burns
I am all for the government coming in. I wish Trump would send in the tanks. It is absolutely clear that NY cannot protect its self. We have a bunch of pansies running things. So, by letting these idiots destroy our city, the president has no choice but to take action and put matter in his own hands. GO TRUMP! He needs to not listen to or care what the delicate flowers want.

Less than nothing. Just a big waste of everyone’s time except for the protesters who seem to have nothing better to do. Nothing they say or do will never change how I, or anyone else feels.

There was a full on - justified reason for her making a stand against injustice happening to lots of people. In contrast I had an ironic and amusing one off experience.

The security guard infringing my rights did not know who rosa parks was! The amusing irony of a black guy violating a white guys civil rights at the rosa parks station (i. A cage to provide safety in an unsafe neighborhood)was lost to him. Not wanting to be violated further by the police ( a threat he was making) I demurred and moved on.


What is happening now is organized kafavve. Stirring up the situation was the whole point. Triggered people is the objective.

Antifa wants useful idiots everywhere to confront each other.
Anti-fascism is in fact fascism. Dont be useful idiot ignore the whole thing.
Ignore this nonsense and foolishness and move on.
.
They will easily succeed due to millions of those people everywhere
