Yesterday's Police Circus
I was at my redoubt near The Fountain when I heard a commotion.
A male band member called his bandmates a bunch of fags (one of "The New George Carlin Seven Dirty Words") and stormed away in a huff. After I glared at him for being a general nuisance, he returned to the group and tried to "steal" an instrument.
(I misread the situation. It was personal not political speech so it wasn't my business unless he was insulting one of you ladies which I couldn't confirm)
When he grabbed at the instrument or road case several yelled in protest and sorta stopped him.
Far as I could tell the problem was over.
Then Johnny Law Jackass and friends showed up. A whole squad of Rangers. Including a blonde bombshell who I must meet. The biggest man of course had to be the hero when I don't think one was needed and went to tackle the offender.
So they restrained this dude for his schoolyard infraction. Arrest and jail and thousands of dollars and hundreds of trees of paperwork and hours were now a certainty.
Later a whole bunch of the NYPD showed up too. Sirens. A cop car raced up the walking path.
Why?
One man. No weapons. Barely a crime.
Ten at least cops. Explain that without saying "they don't have any better ideas".
I do.
"RANGERS!! THE NORTHWEST AND WESTERN PARTS OF THE PARK IS FULL OF SCUMBAG MEN.
MOVE'EM OUT! FOREVER."
*****
The Justice System SUCKS. And more importantly is just plain stupid.
As I explain in the video, a swift punishment he'll never forget is better for everyone.
"My suggestion pigs (another "New George Carlin Dirty Word") is haul him over to the Hudson or East and throw him in. Bag and baggage. Then help him out wet and disgusting and say "have a nice day.""
Instead he probably went to jail. And is facing years potentially of bs. For what? A really minor non-violent offense?
SILLY. Unless he stole one your bags mesdemoiselles, then he can sweat it out in jail. But it's your call. If you want he who harmed you dropped into the river from a crane that can be arranged.
