As a New Yorker, I will not apologize for my anger towards a policy that was promulgated under 20 years of GOP leadership, whereby Donald Trump gets a concealed carry permit for God knows what reason while black and Hispanics are routinely stop and frisked for no reason.

Quite honestly, I think poor minorities are morally justified to carry illegally for their own protection when NYPD is more interested in protecting the rich in Manhattan with fast response times while they let the poor in Brooklyn and the Bronx be victimized with no sympathy.
