Bringing all those out-of-towners into NYC for the marathon when ppl already have no place to go is going to intensify the riot mentality…

I feel bad for the riot that's going to take place if the NYC marathon isn't postponed..

I wonder how Bloomberg will feel if/when angry people start rioting near the NYC Marathon? It would be ugly and runners could be in danger.

NYC Marathon is gonna cause a riot.

I legit hope running the NY Marathon causes a riot. It's all about the appearance of normalcy while ppl are still suffering.

I expected Staten Islanders to riot at the start of the NYC Marathon.
