it's explained

It's a social commentary joke. New York in the late 70s/80s had a huge crime problem. So they just seal off Manhattan because everybody's already a criminal.

Because new york was already filled to the brim with kikes and scum

Cheaper than taking them to prison

brain cancer

this, desu. Nowadays 42nd street is a tourist trap, but once it was synonymous with drugs, hookers and crime.

I'm so tired of that fucking city. It feels like every other movie or show any more is set there. It's almost as bad as LA.

Because it was easy.

Easier than trying to move all the black people out of the city.

sorry to hear you have that user.
perhaps reddit would be easier for you.

because the entire rest of america is boring as fuck so where else would they film

damn, #BURN

70s NYC is such a godtier aesthetic

>godtier

THAT pic is godtier to you? Are you a communist?

detroit

the picture you posted is 80s

>black panther wannabes
>80's

dunno looks 70's

those are a group called the Angels, they were a group of citisens watch out to patrol, like volunteer security guards but were soon labeled as vigilantes. The photo is definitely 80s.

>red beret
Looks like Guardian Angel to me.

looks like its from bruce davidsons subway book

so couldve been late 70s

pics in it were from late 70s mid 80s

same shit

that advertisement for bagel and lox

lel

that's a cigarette add.

can you even tell apart? because I can

are there any kino on the gaurdian angels?

NYC was a cesspit from the early 70s through early 90s

little difference in aesthetic between late 70s and early 80s

good evening boils a ghouls

NEEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I hate a little TREAT for you tonight!
Or should I say...to fright!

NEEEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>little difference in aesthetic between late 70s and early 80s

damn that's depressing

ok

show me

explain the differences

>New York in the late 70s/80s had a huge crime problem.
It's kind of sad that a whole generation has grown up with the idea of theme park new york. Do millennials even realize that travis bickle is in times square?

Fair enough. You seem more studied on the subject than I, so I concede.

you post thiswhich is clearly 80s.
versus this (pic related) which is definitely 70s. And not just 70s, 1979, at the brink of the 80s. If you didn't know this, the movie was going to take place "some time in the future" but the titlecard from the movie was removed at the last minute. This is what seemed futuristic in 1979.

Disco was the 70's. Like Saturday night fever.
the Hip Hop/Mad Max/Urban Combat Power Ranger was 80's.

you wouldn't last 5 minutes walking around NYC in the 70s

you wouldve been blacked immediately
giuliani era NYC was fucking amazing

walking around at 3am drunk without a worry on a hot summer night in NYC was amazing

its been going back to shit now they have some cuck libshit mayor again

NYC was depressing last time I was there last year

never felt that before

>you wouldn't last 5 minutes walking around NYC in the 70s
I'm from Detroit in the 70's and 80's. Checkmate you jew bagel eating wop guinea bastard.

Was there something in water supply in New York?
These 70s gangs are straight out of a fucking comic book.

unfortunately, their violence was too.

rockin good tunes though

No, shit was literally that awesome until reagan came along. Then the streets were full of real crazy homeless people, and not just poor mad max and rambo cosplayers.

btw, DSR is alive. Could you believe it? A guy like that??

>I used to be bad, but I changed my ways,like, I used to beat up people, I used to shoot people, I used to kidnap people, I used to rape people, but now, I am not that kind of person anymore, I don't do that stuff and if I do I don't go around and brag about them

>leaves out killing people

>nah man I just shot them

He should be hung

Because of this.

because negroes

lead in the gas, made everyone go crazy go read up on it

Because it was a naturally isolated shithole that was already too far gone to save. Might as well just throw all your undesirables in there and wait to see what happens.

haha, what the fuck, I read that theory on wikipedia a gazillion years ago, now you 've reminded me of it.

btw, totally not true.

>that theory
Truly putting the Pb in Pleb.

>Pb

is that the sign of lead?

you can't explain a rise in criminality through that, it's dismissive of substantial social reasons!

Why did they make L.A. a shit sequel?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraethyllead#Toxicity

>is that the sign of lead?

New York in 1983

so what? you can't possibly think this is a serious theory.

0/10

>I 'm not an art crim-

uh uh uhhhh

is that what you 're after? the art crime?

whatever dummy. go ahead an believe crime owes to high lead levels in the blood and let everyone off the hook.

>calls people dummy
>claims lead toxicity is a theory

He obviously meant for a movie setting.

lead toxicity is one thing, pinpointing it as the reason behind crime waves is Police Academy tier.

>links to an article discussion lead toxicity
>you directly reply and call it a theory
>environmental factors have absolutely no consequence on crime statistics
You've memed yourself retarded.

nice

even your hardened black cops deserted the city to come to cali

>environmental factors have absolutely no consequence on crime statistics

sure they do, if by it you mean the drought in East Africa lead to a surge in piracy. But not this bogus theory for idiots that overlooks poverty and state neglect.

Which is why we had to resort to turning trauma victims and drug addicts into killing machines.

Why were 70/80's movie gangs so multiracial.

They officially stopped putting lead in gas in like 1972

Watch the film.

>that mom at 37:00

good gawd, some moms

aww how cute you wrote your girlfriends name into his skull with a knife,i never knew murder meant so much to you

you 're overreacting

who would have thought that such a beautiful woman would be a standard mom? and ehr voice, so mommy, kek.

>YFW BORN TOO LATE TO EXPERIENCE 70S NYC WHEN IT WAS GRITTY AND COOL

THERES NO DANGER IN THIS TOWN, SHITS GAY NOW

What is stopping you from becoming a criminal you'res elve?

>even KAP writes better than you

I miss scummy NYC all my favorite gotham movies were made in the 60's through 80's.
LA is going through a massive change too and people WANT to be urbanites now.

It wasn't a trust-fund kiddy paradise back then. It was an almost Detroit tier shithole.

>President of what?
Damn I miss Carpenter-directed Russel.

Also a rise in ice cream sales corresponds to higher murder rates

>is that the sign of lead?
Lead poisoning victim detected

wow, ninja elmo is so cool

Ironically this

Pleb detected

SPBP. NYC was fucking shit.

well, it still is, but not nearly as bad as back then.

what? Pb is actually the sign of lead

user, Pblease

what the fuck is wrong with you? It is the sign of lead. Look it up on your much trusted wikipedia.
