Most of the people passing by Trump Tower, and walking around most of Manhattan for that matter, are from either out of state or out of the country. You can tell, they're either looking up or have a camera in their hands.
People sure do make a lot of assumptions around here.

You're probably right, but the man was escorted out and sent away by a hotel staff member, according to the article.

Assumption on the part of a hotel employee.
 
While I'm no fan of making my face look like the backend of a bison's butt, but in this case, these guys should just keep the beards; no tellin' what they would look like if they shaved, so it's best they keep playin' it safe doin' the Ratso Rizzo.:p
 
Ok one hotel imployee doesnt = NYC. A lot of new yorkers are normal people.

Second. I dont watch the show and I dont know what they look like either and im not from NYS.

Third. Lots of homless look like that in NYC and while its not nice, if you let one in to use the bathroom before you know it a whole bunch will be camped out in front asking to use the bathroom and bothering guests.

So yea while it might be rude I dont think it was uncalled for.

Everyone is talking about ---oh look at the stupid new yorker making assumptions. If you saw a hood rat looking kid buying an AK or AR would you think gangbanger/thug probably up to no good or a Iraq/Afghan vet?

My whole thing is about the way the guy handled the whole situation, not about New Yorkers. But when I see how a certain disgraced married guy who was very fond of sending pictures of himself to girls he never met, lose his job, and now might be the guy running NYC, it sure makes me wonder about the majority of people there. but like California, that one city does not define the minority of great people in upper state or even in the city itself. Some who might be members here.

I don't think the door man was rude, just a bit out of touch with what's going on in the rest of the country. D.D. is setting all sorts of viewership records on cable but this guy hasn't a clue. I find that amusing. I didn't make assumptions or pass any judgement.

The heart of the story is that the ordeal didn't phase Mr. Robertson. He and his found humor in it. Had this happened to Madonna or Chris Brown or pick your rockstar/hollywood elitist there would have been a national incident.

The story has nothing to do with NY or NYC or the people who live there. It's just a cute story that tells me these folks talk the talk and walk the walk. That's rare anymore.

They might do better if they bring along their Gravel Gertie wives/paramours with them. New Yorkers love homely women...they stand out in stark contrast to the most beautiful women in the world; north of South Beach anyway.:p
 
Remember NYC has enough mindless voters to allow the police to randomly feel them up to be "safe." Been there thousands of times (grew up 10 miles away), if I never set foot in NYC again I will achieve another "bucket list" task. Joe

He'd have gotten in, after they combed out his beard and checked his cargo pockets looking for booze. They don't like competition for the horribly overpriced, overrated mint juleps they sell at the Downs.

I'm a Tennessee native so I can say this: there is more faux Old South BS in this town in the two-week "Derby Week" than you can imagine if you haven't been here. But I still like my adopted city, in the lower Midwest. :D

Remember that happened AFTER elections. It wasnt on the platform. Once they are in they do as they please

Churchill Downs is not YOUR race track:confused: That would be Belmont.:p

My roommate from College and I went to the 101'st running of the Derby. His parents were well to do horse trainers. We had stinking Badges,;) we sat in with all the High Brows and got to go any where and everywhere, stables, paddock etc. We where long hairs , wearing jeans and sandals. Looked out to the infield with all the minions.;)
Guess we looked like Hippies but drank Mint Juleps right next to the snobby lady with a big old hat!:D

Statistically, getting "felt up" by NYPD has reduced the murder rate to the lowest of any large metropolis in the nation. Personally, if I had the misfortune of having to live in a high crime part of the city, I would want every Tom, Dick, Harry, and Charlene stopped and frisked during those hours that show when criminal activity is at its highest. If that means that at 'O Dark Thirty, stop and frisks will be at their most active, then folks who have no legitimate business on the street at that hour will most likely be "felt up", and/or arrested. If I have this burning need to buy a pack of smokes from a 24 hour bodega on the corner, that gets robbed 3 to 4 times a month, at 4 in the morning, than I expect to get stopped and frisked, and that's fine with me.....
