The wife and I came up with a brilliant idea to go check out the Rockafeller xmas tree this evening and maybe catch it when they turned the lights on.... um, yeah....not such a brilliant idea. The mob on the side walk was ^^^^ing ridiculous and the police had all the curbs barricaded off so everyone was trapped like cattle. people were starting to get irritated and pushing shoving and yelling. My wife is quite petite but luckily im a decent sized dude so I was able to keep a good amount of space around her while people were trying to push and inch their way forward. Had to tell a couple of jackasses to back the ^^^^ up or youre going to get my elbow in your face.
took us about an hour to get through two blocks so that we could cross the street into safety. geez, never again. And the police are ******* that don't do ^^^^ except watch this chaos from behind the barricades.
I swear to god NYC is the only place where crazy people are accepted as normal...anywhere else you'd be called crazy, but in NY youre normal.
