With protesters descending on the Hamptons this summer, rich New Yorkers with second homes on the East End are looking for more protection than just their hedges. Wealthy Hamptonites are rushing to hire security guards to keep them safe from the threat of unrest, The Post has learned. Charlie McArdle, co-founder of CM Security Consulting, says business is booming in the moneyed enclave, and that he’s gotten a flood of calls after Thursday’s protests, which targeted the Hamptons homes of figures such as Mayor Mike Bloomberg, real estate mogul Stephen Ross and Blackstone CEO Steven Schwarzman.

Protests? What are they protesting in the Hamptons?

Arugula missing from gourmet shop shelves. Servants have to go to Connecticut for the best kind.

Neighbor sold a mansion to a Republican. Missed the background check.

Life can be hell for them.

I know that George Castanza’s ex-in-laws have a place in the Hamptons.

Anti-gun shitlib elites want men with guns they want to take from us to protect their sorry asses cowering behind the walls they say we don’t need.

The Hunger Games and Divergent....in real life.

You never thought it would happen. It’s happening. The rich will insulate themselves with the money and hired guns. Existing laws will be rewritten or eliminated to allow them to hire private armies while everyone else pays the price.

Interestingly, with the police gone, there will be no one to take guns and when the “good people” of this country start to defend themselves and fight back there won’t be anyone to investigate anything. It’ll be just someone coming to pick the body/bodies off the street and spray the blood off the sidewalk.

with callers from Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul looking for safe places to buy

Wondering if a change in their voting habits will go along with a change in their location. If not, who would want them as neighbors? Not me.

Is it wrong to send money to them if they pledge to invade those areas?

Do you know where to find that one of the guys outside with a sign about we’re drunk and armed, you loot we shoot or something?

And they’ll pay anything that is asked and just ruin those places too. They’re too arrogant and hypocritical to acknowledge that their votes and ideology are what has brought this country to the place it is now.

I’m not sure private security guards would be effective unless each home has its own.

Listening to Mr. McCloskey speak, I inferred that their subdivision / neighborhood has private security — but they never showed up to help. I think he said that neither the regular police, nor the private security, came to their rescue.
