re: #314 Walter L. Newton

So, you are saying that the day to day risk that exists in NYC will be the same as when they are in town and a trial going on.

Same threat, any day, doesn’t matter, no difference. Right?

Are you saying the threat would be any worse than every fall when we have all every leader of every major nation in the world here for a week and a half? Jeeze, we are constantly at risk - some days it’s more, some days it’s less and if you think there isn’t a cave full of guys somewhere planning something horrendous to do to New York then you’re wrong. Whether they try during the trial or the next year, does it matter? The key here is that it’s not like the trial will create a special vulnerability that is unique.
