Many of them will also rob Walmart blind tossing stuff out the back door to their buddies.
No, we just live in another Brooklyn neighborhood where unemployed black youth hang on the corners. Would kind of like to see them have a life.
That’s all.
Dude, do you masturbate to wal-mart circulars or something? Are you planning on applying for a job there?
I think the link to cover the Wal Mart hearing story should have been the NY Daily News editorial describing the situation for what it really was – an opportunity for Christine Quinn to put on a show.
Who are her supporters in this? A bunch of privileged, self-satisfied, smug, superior know-it-alls who will never ever set foot in East New York themselves, protesting a store that would bring affordable goods and hundreds of jobs to that neighborhood? All because they believe they know what’s best for those people.
Mom & pop bodega stores have dusty expired crap on shelves way overpriced and hire nobody but a family member or two. To whom they give no benefits. And that’s where Quinn and these people want to force poor people to shop. As well as force teens to hang out on the street corners instead of going to a job. I’m so disgusted right now.
What a lot of silliness and pandering. You lost my vote, Christine Quinn. And all the donations we’ll make to the mayoral candidate we do support.
