New York City - Rep.: Don’t Go To Times Square
Concerned about terrorism, U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays urged revelers Tuesday not to attend New Year’s Eve celebrations like the one at Times Square in New York City this year.A member of the House Select Committee on Homeland Security and chairman of a terrorism subcommittee, the Connecticut Republican told WVIT-TV that he wouldn’t go to Times Square “for anything.”
–The chairman of the terrorism subcommittee wouldn’t go to Times Square “for anything”? Yet Tom Ridge and Dubya still tell folks to go about your normal business on like nothing is happening? How can they put us into a state of fear and frenzy and then say “but don’t worry about”? God forbid we stop shopping and consuming during a threat of violence against us.
