Just Look The Other Damn Way
(2009-03-22 at 22:35:47 )

Recently, I once again was prevented from placing my lowly pedestrian shoes
upon Scotties Sidewalk ( see parable # 3 ) near the corner of Victory Blvd.
on Richmond Avenue.

Not only are cars always parked upon Scotties Sidewalk, but now, signs and
buckets adorn the sidewalk as well as the street.[See the first picture.]
Evidently Staten Islands Police Force does not see Any of this going on.

Across Richmond Avenue is the new Dunkin Donuts and there is a bus stop
for the S 44 and S 59 buses to the Mall. There were people already in the
bus stop smoking cigarettes, to which I am allergic; so I went and leaned
against the distant telephone pole to wait for the bus.

Before long a city ambulance pulled up beside me, blocking the wheelchair
ramp and the fire hydrant. The female driver left the ambulance running
while she and her male partner went into Dunkin Donuts. The carbon gas
exhaust was getting me sick so I moved away from the ambulance and took
some pictures. They are on the right.

In the large scheme of things I am just a disabled old man without an
automobile living on Staten Island. However some things do tend to irk me
because they are just not right.

Scotties Car Wash should be fined all day long for deliberately blocking
pedestrians from using the public sidewalk.

People receiving government paychecks should not be treating the taxpaying
public with scorn and vile contempt. What should be happening and what is
happening are diametrically opposite to one another here on Staten Island.

Do any of your children go to Curtis High School? The man and woman trying
to corner the crack cocaine market in that school live in the same New
Brighton building that I live in. They too have enjoyed years of N.Y.P.D.
immunity and impunity under our Mayor Magnificent Michael Bloomberg.

Mayor Bloomberg is looking for Terrorists bags with searches and his bomb
sniffing dogs; crack cocaine dealing to Staten Island teenagers is way off
of his Police Departments Radar Screen.

I mean the stores openly sell cigarettes and alcohol to the teenagers upon
Staten Island and the police ignore it: so why bother with people selling
narcotics to the teenagers residing upon Staten Island.

Just Look The Damn Other Way!!

You Betcha!!
