It's not true. The only people who would say this are faux-New Yorkers who use Lower Manhattan as a term when they mean 5th avenue in Soho and Broadway in Flatiron District (aka the bougie retail areas of Lower Manhattan that account for like 1% of the landmass).
As someone who lives next to Barclays where 5000 people gathered and works in Midtown, you're just pushing a false narrative that oversells what happened to outsiders.
I walked those same streets, I live in NYC too, and I'm not falling for it.

What you're doing is exactly what you're accusing others of doing. Confusing basic facts to push a narrative.
The looting sucked, yes businesses got hurt, but saying "Manhattan was ransacked" is an insult to what a place that's been ransacked looks like.
That's the point.

> It's no surprise an ex cop just won as mayor of NYC, when you have people with this attitude supporting retail theft/looting at all costs. New Yorkers got tired of it, sorry.
The guy who didn't know NYC includes the outer boroughs is trying to speak for New Yorkers. Maybe next you'll tell us about grabbing your daily baconeggandcheese from ock at Gregory's Coffee. God help us all.
