Rich Hamptons residents rush to hire private security guards after protests
NY Post ^ | July 2, 2020 | Jennifer Gould

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.

It would be interesting to get his take:
Better if they just take the arrogant asshole.

I have a friend that's had some experience with working on high end celebrity cars, Jay Leno etc.

The people in the shop were told to not look Seinfeld in the eye.

Some people just need a good ass beaten after their car is trashed.

They’ll be rushing around a lot more frantically when the police departments are all abolished (or all the policemen resign!).

After the treatment the St Louis couple is receiving they certainly don’t want to be on video with a firearm defending their house. Pay someone else to take the rap.

A group of former special operators hired by Academi providing armed security on their grounds vs ghetto ‘tards and commies.

If “them” is BLM/Antifa/Anarchists, I wouldn’t give them a penny. However, I’m all for infiltration.

“...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.”

Tell MN Gov. WHitler that no police means no Red Flag confiscations. Watch her launch into hysterics.

I don't think any have the balls to go against SpecOp security. My guess is, they will move on strip malls in the suburbs next. That will start it, and I'll be there like the Koreans in the LA riots. I will send my wife to a safe haven, and take my chances. If a local militia is needed, I give my Word of Honor, I will walk point.

"What are they protesting in the Hamptons?"

Kidding? Those rich folks are the epitome of capitalism. They won't get far with all the hired security.

Next up, the suburban strip malls since they have already looted the cities. They would be in for a big surprise.

The scene from Godfather 2 where Batista had promised security for the mob investors, but “private security” of former and current military could not stop the tide of the mob. Unless you are willing to go at it like in Korea, it won’t help squat.

When the mob turns into a live fire attack, the paid security will quickly realize they are out-manned and out-gunned and quickly retreat, leaving the wealthy democrats to deal with the system hey have created.

Should make for exciting television!

Exactly, private security is not like the group in “13 hrs”. They didn’t make a valiant stand for money there, it was for a much bigger cause. Working for Bathhouse Barrys neighbors, and his ilk, they will not be so motivated to win or die.

Nothing! They are indoctrinated anarchists from our so-called institutions of higher learning when the 60's boomer hippies got done with their anti-war free-love mentality and went back to school. They have been teaching GenX, Millinials, GenY, and now GenZ the promise of Marxism and a new Utopia of free stuff for all.

I have explained on FR and other boards how I checked out a commune in the 60's. It failed two weeks later because everyone expected the same benefits, but many didn't want to work for those benefits. Many just wanted to play bongos and sing Kumbaya.

‘Nothing!’

Correct. Yet the press calls them ‘protesters’

They are hating ideologues. These particular demonstrators

This is why we enjoy watching Trump give it back to them. Liars.

#36. Re the three Jewish names about who lives in the Hamptons and real estate agents. So what? What is important is whether they are going to have their homes ransacked, their cars vandalized/painted, and their daughters molested, and then have the chutzpah to donate beaucoup dollars to those who did it to them?

Just because you can earn a lot of money doesn’t mean you have common sense, only common cents.

As far as I’m concerned, the Marxist/black/anarchist/lunatic hordes can play “Ghengis Khan and his Mongold Hordes” all over the Hamptons.

Instead of singing “Love that chicken by Popeyes”, I’ll be singing that old Mongolian war song, “Rape Pillage and Plunder - It’s Miller Time”.
