As every parent knows, children can sleep through anything when they’re tired enough. So it was with our two kids Monday night. They snored away, oblivious to the buzz of helicopters overhead, the constant wail of sirens — and the distinct crack of gunshots that rang out at around 10:40 somewhere in Midtown East, where we live. Their parents, on the other hand, were bundles of racked nerves.
I went downstairs to see for myself. In the four hours that followed, I felt the insecurity of lawlessness and disorder more acutely than I ever had before — and I’ve filed datelines all over the Middle East, including from the front line of the Iraqi Kurdish war against the Islamic State.
But I wasn’t the hero of these four hours. That role belonged to our two doormen, whom I will call Alfonso and Johnny — unarmed, upright, working-class people of color who were all that stood between the families in our building and the savagery of a depraved mob below.

Tell us for whom you voted.
What if this had happened to the NYT editor?

....... "the insecurity of lawlessness and disorder" brought to you by thirty years of liberal/Marxist/Communist teachings in our schools.
Congrats you sick Commies. Bill Ayers must be thrilled. And congrats to all our politicians who sat by with their thumbs up their asses.
He said “ people of color”. He voted Democrat.
That scenario is very terrifying. It really was like being invaded by a hostile army...and NYC surrendered. There’s no protection for the citizen and you never know when the eye of the invader is going to fall on you.
I sure wouldn’t want to be a libtard arguing against the 2nd Amendment after all this is over.

Yeah, he lost me immediately with the “poc” comment.
He just had to make “A Statement” there.
Apartment buildings will be invaded when the communists want to open up a new front in this war. And when they do, that will be the end of NYC as a residential haven.
Kristallnacht.
And who you will continue to support.
I saw one live report last night from New York in which the female reporter on the scene was cut short by the anchor in the studio when a deranged person shouted “This is War” repeatedly within ear shot of her. I understand the news channel — Fox perhaps — was concerned about safety for the reporter but scenes like that need to be shown in America’s living room to fully grasp these people are coming from all angles and want to destroy this country. It isn’t all about “peaceful protests.”
Come by MY house, Lootie and Antifa scum, and we'll get you sorted.
Well written short story. Another American realizing that protection of self and family cannot be left to government authorities. These interesting times should be a great awakening for many big city dwellers.
Is this simp implying that being a reporter in a combat zone, wielding nothing more lethal than an iPad, is heroic?
This soyboy is driving an agenda.
Tell me again why I don’t need a weapon in my house ?
Look him up.
Try again.
Yep, a total tell. A completely irrelevant detail in the situation.
