That collection of Tweets is utterly disgusting. All those stuck up, entitled NYC 'natives' truly feel POWERFUL on twitter. Let me see any one of them physically show up, and throw shit at someone running at 8am tomorrow morning, seriously, let me see it. Maybe one person of the hundreds of tweets and facebook messages would actually do it, and that guy is off his rocker anyway.
Yes, I absolutely understand that true damage and chaos does exist in NYC and surrounding areas. I have had my home destroyed years ago in a very similar matter, and it changed me forever, still I feel this way right now.
You know, I visit NYC very frequently, spend a week there every few months, and the residents are really starting to get to me. Literally every person there feels trendy and exhibits the type of personality that would LOVE to bandwagon a mass-hate of the NYC marathon, yet, if they didn't hear about the race until after it took place they would say "Oh, okay. cool. i don't care, big deal"
Seriously
