Howdy this is Wolf Alexander, the most famous regular of Washington Square.
As part of my campaign for Congress! for NY10 I am making "The Park" as fun as possible.
Fun for women.
"All Womens' Rights!"
Did you read Gabrielle Fahmy's NY Post Story? You know the northwestern and western part of The Park is surrounded by assholes!
Unaccompanied women of any kind, from the homeless...
(most important - homeless ladies are not the problem)...
to high society, women in general are not comfortable being there. Walking through, sitting on the benches or picnicking in the beautiful forest area adjacent.
I have spent >100 hours campaigning in WSP because it's my outdoor headquarters, and I have some suggestions to fix the problem:
1. Don't arrest anyone.
2. Annoy the hell out of those you might arrest.
*****
How about a full time "NYPD/Parks Department Chess Game"?
"Beat a Cop at Chess. Free!"
That sign and an officer who would enjoy such a shift would do wonders. The male drug dealers and users and panhandlers do not like LEOs chilling near them. It's a buzz and business kill. But all the bobbys and rangers do is stand around like blue and green lamp posts, or roust and retreat.
Your art project Alvin was a good idea but then you left. Someone's gotta do that all the time.
Hang. They gotta hang out. And be cool about it. No sense being nasty when simply their presence will do the job. And if they see something overt then they're right there to be a little nastier.
Also if they hear, something overt. There's no better recon than your ears when you seem to be busy at something unrelated.
On alert for panhandlers is my full time job. The minute I hear or see a man bothering a woman for money, I let him have it.
Because they're smelly, big, and ugly and get in womens' faces deliberately to extort them. It's very obtrusive and somewhat effective. A quick shakedown by the urine-mafia.
I don't put up with it.
"Only harass the men".
Stuff like that works. Later if I see them still around I follow them at high speed and with much aggression until they get the message.
HARASS THE HARASSERS! But I am only one and it's a big park.
*****
The rangers would do better laying on a blanket with a boombox in the corner of that green space than anything else they could do. If the assholes are gonna camp, so should the anti-assholes.
PLAIN CLOTHES would be even better. No sense scaring the frolickers from harmless fun. That includes being drunk and high and having a field party.
Happy voices. Encourage those.
*****
It's not the drugs - it's the lurking and disgusting atmosphere that's the problem. Half the time they block the paths with their scooters or themselves and their trash.
They should be WALKED AT.
At high speed, brushing past within an inch of touching them. Daring them to say something.
Instead they get out of the way, every time I do it.
We're not talking about a big area here. It's half an acre of territory that is daily invaded. Invade them back!
Especially at night. Get in there and make the shadowy men uncomfortable and they will stop coming.
MAKE THEM HATE SHOWING UP FOR WORK.
Make it impossible for them to relax.
BE THERE FIRST WITH THE MOST!
And to the last. And in a month they'll stop coming.
*****
FIX THIS FOREVER BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS PLEASE.
---Congressman Alexander

P.S. While I have your attention NYPD:
STOP. USING. YOUR FUCKIN' LIGHTS AND SIRENS FOR PERSONAL CONVENIENCE.
I know you became cops to speed and get away with what no one else can but whenever you are impatient in traffic IS NOT THE TIME TO PRETEND IT'S AN EMERGENCY.
It's crying wolf. So when there is a real emergency everyone says under their breath "fuck you wait in line" and don't move.
It's crying wolf. So when there is a real emergency everyone says under their breath "fuck you wait in line" and don't move.
Every day I bet someone dies because an ambulance or squad car can't get there because drivers don't get out of the way fast enough. Because nine times out of ten it's a cop who is late for lunch.
WHEN YOU GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND FLIP THEM OFF IT'S OBVIOUS YOU TOO ARE JUST AN ASSHOLE.
