New Years Eve precautions

I just read they are going to cordon off Times Square with garbage trucks NYE to thwart the kind of attacks they had in Germany and France. They are also taking precautions in NOLA

I'm glad they are being proactive

I hope we can manage to see the new year in, without any violence

For any major event NY City seal all the street man hole covers - position sharp shooters (high power rifles) on roofs, etc. The trucks are being added. It will still be safer and more comfortable- and warmer - on your sofa with your feet up & a bathroom close by and a glass of cheer at your ready!

Happy New Year!

Similar precautions are planned in Chicago and most likely other major US cities. The last thing we need is outside forces inflicting chaos.

On a different level, but a security issue nonetheless is the behavior of some of our own people. I'm outraged by the actions of the thugs in malls across the country on the day after Christmas. These thugs put thousands of people in danger by brawling, looting, and the disruption to the businesses in those malls.

You couldn't pay me to be out in those kinds of crowds on NYE

I truly hope everyone stays safe

@bri20 I would never get in any crowd, at anytime ,that big. But, I'm sure it will still be packed with people celebrating. I just hope they are safe

@cherry, I hope so too.

I won't be going anywhere this year for new years eve. We are sitting one of the grandkids so mom-dad can attend a party.

I am more content to stay home, take a warm shower, put on my warm pj's, watch old movies on t.v.. That is my idea of a party. It is quiet, can relax and enjoy my grandson.
