new york in the good old US of A native new yorkers are taking the law into thier own hands as there is no sign of the police since hurricane sandy blew through the big apple.
RESIDENTS of New York’s storm-battered Queens district threatened to take the law into their own hands yesterday — and shoot looters.
The warnings emerged as much of the Manhattan skyline finally lit up again last night as electricity was turned back on after five days of power failures.
With no police on the streets to protect them, Queens locals armed themselves with guns, baseball bats and even bows and arrows.
Keone Singlehurst, 42, said: “It’s like the Wild West. I’ve got myself a bow and would definitely use it if I felt threatened.
Danielle Harris, 34, added: “We’ve booby-trapped our door and keep a baseball bat.
Some residents claimed criminals donned utility worker uniforms and knocked on doors of desperate residents in the middle of the night.
An estimated 81,000 homes in Queens are still without power and Long Island residents have been warned it could be the weekend before their supplies are restored.
Locals there put up signs warning looters to stay away.

i,d be delighted to hear contributions from my freinds across the pond
i could only guess that the police are probably guarding the wealthier propeties in manhatten.
although theres also the guardian angels who if i remember rightly was snubbed and laughed at when they first appeared bet they need them now though.
but at the end of the day new yorkers and all americans will pull together to get over this they returned to normal after 9/11 and they will return to normal after sandy.
good luck my american freinds
