Category: News and Politics I can't urge people visiting NYC or exploring the night life to be careful enough when you go out at night especially if you are going out drinking. Make sure you go with friends and one friend remains sober and makes sure you commute home together rather than alone. Drug dealers want to sell you drugs because they are hoping one sale will make you a regular aka they own you so don't go there. Saturday morning I saw a young man and at first I was scared by his appearance but the more I saw him the more I was alarmed for him. I ran over to an ambulance and pointed him out. The driver said he may refuse help but he called him over. He told us he had been beaten, robbed, that was all evident, he was barefoot, dirty filthy, his right eye looked practically busted open and than he told us he had been stabbed in the arm -- he was wearing a sweater so I couldn't see his arm but his face was caked with dirt and blood. He said he just wanted to make it to the clinic where there was a doctor. He did not seem to know that he should be in a lot of pain -- maybe he was in shock.... I told him you are hurt bad and should go to the hospital but anyway I left him with the ambulance driver.... sad.... Just be alert and on your guard when you go out to have some fun in NYC. I also would warn you off of mixing prescription drugs with booze and ambien's new commericals worn possible side effects include aggression and suicidal thoughts so go to the health food store and get something for sleeping. Even health food remedies are intense and you have to be careful about not mixing them with prescriptions. Don't live your drinks unattended when you go out to party because someone can put a date rape drug in it and that includes someone dressed in a 2 thousand dollar business suit or a uniform so be careful. Be on your guard. contact right rides if you need a ride home or get a friend to escort you. Don't go home alone by yourself if you can avoid it. |
