It’s almost 9AM on a Monday morning. Not sure what he was expecting.
That being said, I want to point out that this whole bill is not a serious one. The legislator who introduced it wouldn’t vote for it to be passed either (he said the bill if passed would be received with 5 fingers 4 of which would be bent).
The only reason he introduced it was to allow for a discussion on the issue. Personally I think it’s a complete non issue, but the idea that NYers will be paying fines if texting while walking is not even close to reality.
I always wondered what the Fox and friends couch sitters and other hosts think about the well regarded Halal food cart in front of their headquarters. “Is that a terrorist chicken you’re grilling”.
True story - the one time I texted while in a crosswalk in Manhattan my NYC friend turned to me and quipped “dude, you must be from out of town”. Not a smart thing to do there and (most of) the locals know it already.
I for one want F&F to send Doocey out and about every single morning at 8:30 AM to get the “man on the street” reaction to…well everything. And he must be required to wear the same shirt and suit every single morning. July and August will be quite a lovely time, and to counter those months December and January w/o an overcoat will get his humors in balance.
That video was frightening. Doocey was walking around unarmed in a big city, a sanctuary city. It’s a city with such tight restrictions on the weapons that people can carry for defense that every thug within 500 miles knows that they can come in for some easy pickings.
I had to stop watching before the gore and violence that was sure to come within minutes.
I don’t advocate violence either. But when confronted by Doocey on the street, I think a nicely shouted, “Fuck you, you goddamned Trump fluffer!” would give most Manhattanites a jaunty pre-work lift in their spirits!
