I got here in 2006 and a week later on the radio I heard where they started a thing where if they catch you with a gun you go directly to jail do not pass go do not collect 200 dollars. That made me feel a little better. Crime is illegal in NY. Last time I was here in the '70s there were people laying on the sidewalk twitching and people would step over them. And everything was covered with graffiti. Totally covered. Everything. I think what happened is they just built a whole lot of prisons. Maybe they are underground upstate. You think a dark thought you disappear never to be seen or heard from again. I'm all for it. My wild days are over. And I don't want anybody else to have any fun like I did. A couple of weeks ago in Times Square Elmo or maybe it was Capt Crunch pulled a knife and walked down the middle of 42nd street and the police gunned him down like a dog. They really have no sense of humor about that kind of thing its bad for tourism. The knife thing. Not the dozen police Glocks which took him down in a hail of bullets with hundreds of people standing around recording it with their cell phones.
