    I moved to NY in 1981 from a different country as a teenager. Even though I was used to fighting, I often still felt terrified, especially being alone on the subway or on an empty street. But whenever I saw a patrol of Angels I felt a huge sense of relief knowing that I was safe.

    I remember this first time it was aired. I was 7 years old and my dad was transfered from the UK to UN mission in NYC. My dad was a diplomat so our entire family moved to NYC and as part of our induction, we were instructed not to travel in the Subway. For me, everything was exciting and in our first summer we had the big black out. Our apartment was on the 45th floor but my dad was fit and young then and used a rucksack to haul groceries and water everyday. My brothers and I helped by relaying water jugs 15 floors at a time. 2 years later, Star Wars happened and we saw in the first week and life was never the same again. 15 years later I came back to the US after completing my masters degree and joined the US Marines and served for 12 years and went back home to the UK.

    I remember always seeing Curtis walking through subway cars while moving about the subway system during the mid 80s as a young kid and also through the 90s. A few years ago again walking the same beat. As a native New Yorker I can attest this man is the real deal. Thank you sir for your dedication to our glorious City of New York!♥️🗽

  • @CutterDriftwood
    @CutterDriftwood 4 года назад +11

    It's ironic that when Curtis was dealing with the gang member, the officer started saying how the angels weren't "professionals" an the interaction shows the issue with them when that same officer had ZERO clue what gang the guy belonged to or even that he was a gang member at ALL while Curtis DID! So who exactly are the "professionals"? A tin badge & blue shirt doesn't suddenly make you a "professional" with superpowers! The vast majority of officers have little to no real training, are overweight & some with serious mental health issues! Most have zero knowledge or understanding of who's who in the streets & even less understanding of how to deal with them properly! So If you ask me the angels are far more qualified than police! They could learn a LOT if trained by Curtis or others like him who actually understand the streets! It seriously always seemed obvious to me that police were very jealous of & bitter about the angels because they know the public doesn't trust the police much(many for good reason) or feel safe & protected by them but everyone does when angels are around who'll do what's necessary to keep order & peace while handling it well without a power trip. I really wish the Guardian Angels were around still like they were back when I was a kid! I always looked up to them & still think they're such positive role models for kids, boys especially! An today theres basically none I can think of! An thats not only sad but it's unacceptable!

Anyway, I remember as a kid seeing reports, even over here, about the Guardian Angels of New York. All I knew of New York was from movies and and it always looked big and scary. I remember thinking the people with the red berets were so brave and so kind to stand up for people. I’m still in awe of Curtis and how he decided to do something positive in his city - if only the same could be said about the folk in charge of government etc.

      @ZviJ1 2 года назад

      ​@@brucekilby9957 Well, I'm afraid most New Yorkers are very dumb and therefore the Libtards manage to engineer their consciousness. One of the consequences is that Sliwa, being Republican, will need to mount a very exceptional campaign to get elected mayor that will be accompanied by a miracle. Giuliani had to work up less of a sweat to get elected, because back in the early 1990's the majority of the damage caused by the Librads as a result of their consciousness engineering hadn't occurred yet.
