What’s up with the bizarre jovial tone of the article?
Teens gotta teen.
Reverse the races involved and the reporting would be far different, with a major national incident made of it.
Except they were all apparently fully adults.//
About 200 “juveniles” in this story:
Bernhard Goetz is more appropriate perhap?
Social justice is their protection
Bryant Park. Should be a safe area, and normally is.
But dickhead D’Blazio is AWOL as are the cops. It’s a systemic problem.
I go into some of the worst parts of Milwaukee ghettos weekly as a building inspector. Not sure why anyone in their right mind wouldn’t conceal carry, I don’t feel comfortable if I’m not carrying. There are no cops in these areas , it’s basically lawless.
