The organizer of the out-of-control raves which have plagued New York's Washington Square Park has insisted that the parties will continue every night through the summer, and says that it is his constitutional right to be there despite violent crime that has turned park into a no-go zone for locals.
Hundreds of people returned to the park again on Saturday night for another rave, just 24 hours after a woman was trampled by terrified crowds trying to flee a man armed with a large knife and a taser.
It is the latest in a series of nightly parties thrown in the iconic park, which have left local residents fuming at the noise with NYPD cops failing to enforce a midnight curfew.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, party promoter David Ortiz, who calls himself 'the Shaman', said: 'We're going to be here every single day. Just like the police are, we are too. Because this is as much our home as to the other residents that actually live here.'
He added: 'If you can't accept the fact that I'm living within my First Amendment constitutional rights, which is the right to freedom of speech and to rally in a public place, then my friend you are living in the wrong country and democracy is not for you'.
... 'Born in Brooklyn. Went to Mary Burcham High School, in downtown Manhattan. I have been here every single day of my life in Manhattan.
'Probably longer than these two-bit residents that are living here now. I'm here every single day and all they do is pay property taxes here. What we do is we actually bring joy.'

So...parties in front of his apartment all ok at all hours?
What would the outcome be if Trump folks were there every night claiming their rights?
Do the same.
So the taxpayers have a first amendment right to surround the place and go all Antifa on them.
Right?
L
Fly a drone overhead and drop a few dozen pounds of doobies on the crowd.
Once they totally mellow round them up with promises of donuts and coffee.
He is quite correct about the first amendment being the freedom of speech. But somebody tell me which amendment guarantees idiots like him the freedom to rave?
I forget.
This guy needs to be dealt with directly, on a face to face basis. Some people deserve to be fully Doxxed.
Someone is putting him up to this. Who gains from this?
Are the remaining policemen really this powerless?
all they do is pay property taxes here. What we do is we actually bring joy.’

Wow. What a douche. But I have to wonder who’s really the idiot here? He is bringing joy and the other idiots are paying property taxes so that he can bring the joy.
I guaran damn tee you this, if I were paying property taxes I would sell out in a heartbeat and move out of that hell hole
You know what cracks in the armor is?
Its no fortitude... no stand the ground.. its a leak in the dyke... its a law that is not enforced!
All these hoodlums are looking for the crack ..so they can look bold and daring with their anarchy.
To solve it.. warn...rubber bullets.. the real thing..
Clear..go home ..get a job!
We have reached the Lord of the Flies.
Air compressors and train horns work too.
Been there, done that.
neighbors amazingly quiet after.
Oh, to be a Fly on that wall!
Fully equiped with audio devices too.

what’s the difference between Washington Square and 1/6 ?
They are black and violent and 1/6 was full of racist white supremists. Don’t you listen to your overlords like Merrick Garland?
It would not surprise me to find out this “Jerk” is being paid by some group such as BLM or Antifa.
Both groups thrive off chaos, property distruction and disorder, even if they are the ones causing such disorder.

Hmmmm,I think he used to play for The Red Sox. :-)

Then they move in and squat.
