Big cities are heading for a societal breakdown.

One of the bad things about the new Escape from new York is that they are coming down here and South Florida will be facing this crap in a decade or less.
One of my comments when the stories of New Yorkers fleeing to Free America after the WuPing Coof lockdowns started was, “I now understand why every pandemic/zombie/civil unrest movie involves blowing the bridges to Manhattan and machine gunning whoever tries to get across.”
You and I used to laugh and mock the French No-Go Zones.
They are coming to America’s Big Blue Cities. We already have George Floyd Square in Minneapolis. It celebrated its First Anniversary of Police, Fire, and Emergency Medical not allowed.
How about your state?
Earlier, there was the Capitol Hill Unpoliced District… and, going back a few years, I heard an anecdote in 2014 of someone having fled Oakland, CA, after seeing someone shoot at a police car and the police not respond. Apparently there were hard no-go zones there already.
One of my clients was located in one of the big cities in our state. Big to us. Small compared to most cities.
In the last ten years I read of maybe three deaths in the city. Two were suicides by people jumping from the bridge into the river. Crime reports were of students getting drunk and bring too loud.
Over the last year plus there have been multiple murders, multiple shootings, multiple reports of violence.
The violence seems to be increasing everywhere.
Said before and will repeat: NYC – wall it up and let it burn.
After all, President Dementia’s WH is showing the example that walls DO work and that DemonKKKrats love ’em now. LOL!
Looks like it needs the Greek Army of 1934 to settle things down.
“In rating Z areas (also known as Z-Zones), humanity has devolved to a state of tribes, anarchy and a complete lack of any type of “normal society.” It’s survival of the fittest, and the law doesn’t care who wins and who loses as long as everyone stays within the boundaries. The law considers it more important to keep the area contained than to prevent or solve crimes, so there is no attempt to enforce the laws in these areas. In many cases, walls or other natural boundaries actually separate these areas from the rest of the sprawl.”
