The positive doesn't outweigh the negative. There are people that need serious help, Staten Island is a war zone. Marathon should be cancelled, no question about it. 30,000 people planned to run? Seriously? It's common sense to cancel the thing. They will be handing out water to a runner from "who knows where" when people a few miles away are without water for days. My brother in law has been training for it for a while and is disappointed but he isn't going. He doesn't think it right. He has no clue how he would get down and then back anyway. Why take all those Police and other volunteer resources off the relief effort and have them at a Marathon?
