There is a specter haunting the Hamptons — one that’s turning some of the priciest properties in the country into fortresses equipped with bulletproof glass, weaponry and panic rooms.
“I sleep with a gun underneath my pillow: a Walther PPK/S, the same one James Bond carried,” said John Catsimatidis, owner of Red Apple Group and Gristedes Foods, who has a vacation property in East Quogue. “[My wife] Margo prefers a shotgun. Although, once, she thought she heard something, got the shotgun out and shot through the door.”
The billionaire and his family, like others in the Hamptons, are shaken up over concerns that the vicious Salvadorian gang MS-13 is too close for comfort. In April, members of the gang massacred four young men behind a soccer field in Central Islip. Three months later, a Hampton Bays brothel raided by police was found to be tagged with an MS-13 sign. And in 2016, a man with MS-13 connections broke into a Southampton home and sexually assaulted a woman.

ReplyDeleteAnd I bet everyone of them is in favor of gun control. Except when it applies to them.
ReplyDeleteNow MS13 is going to think they have a challenge.
ReplyDeleteWhen they start slaughtering the rich, THEN you will see massive police response, curfews, Nazi Checkpoints, and the dismissal of all civil rights.
Then, we take our country back.
From BOTH of those "we know what's best for you and if we want your input we will, well, we'll never ask for your input, merely your obedience.
