what about the news crews who were mugged, pistol whipped and robbed while they were filming there?

Its close to the Hyatt Regency, a famous hotel in SF. Since there are many types of people that pass by there, those people would include the criminal types. It's unfortunate that the woman was at the wrong time and the wrong place. It's an unfortunate example of bad karma on her part, which is unfathomable for us mere humans. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> wrote : Pier 14 is a very popular tourist spotand not a rough neighborhood at all.

I read aboutthat, seems like a mighty rough neighborhood when thenews crews get mugged and pistol whipped during theirbroadcast while being filmed by yet other news crews.

I suspect much ofthis is "security theater" andunnecessary. They could do it morecovertly given our technology. I thinkthey want to condition us to live likewe're in a Stalag. We had a 32 year old woman shot dead onthe Embarcadero the other evening. Theycaught the guy who did it and he was aMexican who had been deported 5 timesalready and had felony convictions. Apparently he just decided to shootsomebody. And I bet he used anunregistered gun so gun laws aren'tgoing to help in these situations. Norwould "security theater." We've also had a couple of shooting downthe road from me on the freeway. Theydon't know who did those. Maybe it wasthe same guy.

Oh, alittle follow up on Bhairitu'scomment about high security inNYC. As I metmy wife and daughter after theyattended Mass at St. Patrick'sCathedral ,there was aheavy police presence,.They were with armed semi, orfully automatic assault riflesand other gear. So, that wasinteresting. Also, thetwo Memorial Pools at the 9-11site, marking the location ofthe two towers, was veryimpressive, IMO. Everythingto do with the memorial wascontroversial including thememorials, but I found them tobe rather perfect. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,<anartaxius@...>wrote : Thanksfor the invitation, but Ihave other obligations. Ideleted my post as I tendnot to have any photos Ihave taken remain on theInternet in a public spacefor very long. I liveabout a 60 mile drive outof the City, and tend toavoid going into the Cityunless I have to. NormallyI drive to the Metro NorthTrain Station in Brewster(and at my age the roundtrip costs about $18.50),which actually costs lessthat the total cost ofdriving, though it takeslonger. Parking isexpensive in New Yorkunless you hunt around. Ihave medical appointmentson Monday. As I get olderthese appointments seem tobe increasing infrequency. Myvehicle is about 15 yearsold and I need to take itin for repairs, theexhaust system needspatching (I hope) as thereare some holes in it andmy SO is complaining aboutfumes, she is verysensitive to industrialfumes even though shethinks nothing ofasphyxiating me with smokeparticles from incense. TheCloisters was interesting.That day I was there, Iwent with a local photoclub. The museum gave metemporary permission touse a tripod so I was ableto get shots in darkerareas until my cameradied. I used my SO'scamera for the rest of theday. I think that cameradied a few months latertoo. Onceagain thanks for theinvite, but it takes a lotof pressure to get me togo into New York City. IfI go in more than two orthree times a year, it'sunusual. --------------------- From:"steve.sundur@...[FairfieldLife]"<FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> To:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent:Sunday, July 5, 20151:50 PM Subject:[FairfieldLife] Re:PROVIDER OF KNOWLEDGE Xeno,I replied to amessage youhad postedhere lastnight, but myreply nevershowed up, andnow I don'tsee youroriginalmessage.
