Why don’t the people of New York know this?
Anger seeped from her fingertips after learning that a bunch of VIPs partied and sipped fine wine on the sacred grounds of the 9/11 Museum, where her brother’s remains are buried.
“You enjoy dinner & drinks on top of my brothers grave last night douchebags?” tweeted Robert Shay Jr.’s sister.
Shay, 27, of Staten Island, was a husband, a father and a bond broker for Cantor Fitzgerald.
His outraged sister blasted Condé Nast, former Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum for the sickening black-tie shindig meant to recognize supporters and donors.
I have no issue with a private viewing and event for the people who paid good money to help this Memorial and Museum get built (of course I’m sure in attendance were many of the bureaucrats that stood in the way so that this shrine was erected THIRTEEN YEARS after the towers fell), but a black tie event is a social and cocktail setting for celebration, not respect, and reflection. It’s a spectacle.
But we all knew this, the people who didn’t seem to know that the ruling class was a bunch of sociopaths who would drink wine and cocktails on what is forever the grave of people murdered by terrorists are the people of New York who kept electing them.
It wasn’t them or theirs, so they don’t care… sigh
Probably the same bunch who got called out when Generators and Water were being stored for the New York Marathon, while hundreds of thousands could have used them during Superstorm Sandy.
But Hey! Don’t both of those events have Mickey Bloomberg in common?
