a deep tradition of immigration and 300+ years of practice. I just hope when these yokels in their face coverings and tacti-cool equipment come hauling in mob-handed on a hot July day in the middle of a sticky heat wave, the New Yorkers can keep peaceful and strong - taking a page from Minn, or it'll be helter-skelter in the summer swelter as the old song has it. OTOH, if that guy in the white cowboy hat from the LA video comes waddling in, they may just be prostrated with laughter.
