Since 1979, when crime was at its pinnacle across New York City, Curtis Sliwa, 66, has led a group of volunteers known as the "Guardian Angels" in signature red jackets who roam lawless pockets and aid those in need.
But Tuesday night, amid the ongoing unrest gripping much of the nation following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, was one of the most chaotic and confronting scenes he has ever encountered, he said.
"Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, we have mostly been in Chinatown to stop any hate crimes against Asians," Sliwa told Fox News.

Let them loot Curtis, the politicians in NYC don’t care and won’t back you if you if you wind up on the ground with human scum.
I can’t believe Curtis hasn’t said “F-it” and moved to Florida.
He is a way better man than me.
dat be racist.
Their founder is running for mayor.
Sliwa for mayor of NYC
He’d probably be a pretty good mayor.

He and I were waiting for our sandwiches at a deli in NYC in Penn Station and I said hi to him while standing there. He saw my briefcase and asked if I was coming or going and told him heading back to NJ. He then started to ask me a few questions about NJ Transit such as “how was it” - “did I feel safe” - “was it clean”, etc. He was truly interested, I came away with a different opinion of him after those brief minutes.
I believe he is running.
Yes, he is.
