Dear Mr Cuomo, Thank you Chris for getting your interview out there in as balanced a reporting state as possible. My question is to Mr McCloskey. Mr McCloskey, do you realize how the image of a man standing in front of a magnificent, palatial estate holding an military AR weapon with a 17 or more shot clip speaks to the world? You got that right: it looks like George Orwell's version of The United States of Paranoia. You make America look like its become a gang-state, over run by unwieldy protestors who roam the suburbs looking for an empty mega-house to loot and pilage. You show an image to the world of a crowd mentality: shoot first, ask questions later. Images speak ten times more on TV, so you and your wife bandishing guns show a society out of control, plagued by feral youths and people who have lost all sense of obeying the law. It's off-the-charts. You were of course in your rights to protect your property, but by going out in your Ralf Lauren polo shirt and Paul Shark pants and J.M. Weston loafers clutching an automatic weapon, you make a mockery of everything your country stands for. You are an American; but you are coming off as the the leader of a militia profiling himself on global TV as a pillar of the haves as opposed to have-nots' community. In short, you made a fool of yourself and you made your country look bad. Think before you act, everything is filmed now. Lastly, Chris, you've got the voice and the platform to get the debate going of getting Governor Cuomo as Biden's Secretary of State. Your country needs Andrew. Peace.
