The Dengates make their anger plain Monday in Queens.

This is a mild response. In 1969, when John Lindsay was Mayor of New York City, a February storm clogged Queens streets and the people wanted to lynch the mayor. Today they are much more tolerant at least in NYC. In Boston the people are shooting each other over cleared out parking spaces.

Streets in Queens remained unplowed late Monday and residents were mad as hell — but Mayor Bill de Blasio said it’s their own fault because they keep shoveling snow off their cars and onto the road.
“I’ve seen some of them myself,” the mayor said during a Monday morning press conference, during which he praised the city’s decision to keep schools open and dubbed himself an “expert on blizzards.”
[. . .]
“He’s blaming us now?! You’re the head of the city, you’re to blame!” fumed Joseph Dengate, who held signs with his 72-year-old parents, Joann and James Dengate, at the corner of 69th Lane and Juniper Boulevard.
“He’s a moron for saying that,” Joseph said of de Blasio’s excuse. “You don’t go on TV and blame hardworking New Yorkers who have to take their kids to school and go to work. It makes me angry to hear him say that, to blame the people who voted for him.”
