Society Out Of Control

Crowd overwhelms New York City's Union Square, tosses chairs, climbs on vehicles 


"UNION SQUARE, Manhattan (WABC) -- In a stunning scene, a crowd of thousands packed Manhattan's Union Square for Kai Cenat's hyped giveaway that quickly got out of hand Friday afternoon with some clambering on vehicles, hurling chairs and throwing punches, injuring police as they struggled to rein in the chaos.

At the height of the riot, shouting teenagers swung objects at car windows, threw paint cans and set off fire extinguishers. Some people climbed on a moving vehicle, falling off as it sped away. Others pounded on or climbed atop city buses.

Police made at least 65 arrests, including 30 juveniles."

I don't know who this Kai Cenat is, but to arrest only 65 people out of thousands is ridiculous.  And of course, Chicago's Mayor Johnson, after rioting and looting by "only" 400 teens in his city, actually objected to the word "mob" that described their rampage. Perhaps New York didn't want to make the same mistake and so arrested only a few of these "teenagers".  

This crime, mayhem, and  disregard for life and property, will keep happening on a daily basis as long as authorities (and the parents) continue to make excuses for it.
