In today "you hate to see it" segment: Washington Square Park ‘drug den’

lawless, drug-infested Washington Square Park is horrifying even famously free-spirited Greenwich Village residents.
“We may be liberal but this has gone too far,” lamented Steven Hill, who has called the neighborhood home since 1980. “There have always been drugs in the park, mostly pot, but what’s emerged this spring is like nothing we’ve ever seen before.”
quote:
The city responded to more than a month of complaints and numerous Post queries by erecting barriers on Tuesday, closing off the northwest corner to both legal and illegal uses, while cops in recent nights have boosted their presence.
quote:
“The zombies are now near the fountain, as well as next to the chess [southwest] corner. They’ve simply moved up about 200 meters from the now shuttered end of the park,” one angry neighbor emailed The Post on Wednesday. “I think all hell is going to break loose.”
The Post toured the park this week, after the “drug den” was closed, and still found the flower beds littered with syringes and scores of empty drug capsules. A park gardener told Hill he found two dozen syringes while tending the grounds Wednesday morning.
quote:
But over the spring emerged an “open-air drug bazaar” – a nearly 24-hour-a-day parade of addicts, drug peddlers and prostitutes, some openly hitting pipes or shooting up with syringes on benches.
NYPD data shows robbery is up 73 percent this year in the 6th Precinct, which covers the park. Sex crimes have surged 36 percent. There have been two shootings –up from none last year. There have three cases of grand larceny and four felony assaults reported inside the park alone in the first quarter of 2021, before the current surge in warm-weather activity.
quote:
Drug enforcement across the city has all but disappeared during the de Blasio administration. New York City reported just 5,372 drug arrests last year, by far the lowest on record. The decline is largely connected to the 2019 decriminalization of pot and last month’s legalization of weed, but not entirely. The number of drug arrests have declined every year under the de Blasio regime. There were nearly 20,000 drug arrests in 2013, the year before de Blasio took office, and more than 38,000 in 2000, under Mayor Giuliani

Awe...c'mon, they just want to be left alone, they want the same rights as you.

Liberals don't learn.
That's what makes them liberals.
They are like locusts. After they blight one area, they move and with their voting blight the new area. And the cycle continues with them moving and blighting another area.

Immediately thought of the final scene in Omega Man with Charlton Heston.
Admit I am early Gen-X and many here will have no idea what this means. It is a great movie and a precursor of I Am Legend.

Can we put our addicts on buses and take them there?

This is the problem with the liberal mindset. Allowing one thing, for them, means allowing everything. Twenty years ago the push was for gay marriage and today it's now for acceptance that trans-ism is normal and not a denial of reality so pervasive it's spawning a movement to legally force others to join in on that denial as well. With drugs we have the legalization of pot quickly migrating to allowing meth and heroin addicts to not only shoot up wherever the frick they want but to demand local governments create programs to provide them clean and free needles with which to do so.
And then they have the gall to get pissy when their parks are over-run with these drug-addled zombies.
frick them. They should have to clothe, house and feed the addicts just for voting for de Blasio.

Leftism is akin to a rodent or roach infestation. One or two here or there doesn’t seem too bad and can be ignored easily.
But once they take root it is impossible to stop the destructive spread with any thing short of extermination.

On a brighter note, the topless gathering on Saturday on the north side of the park wasn’t all bad.

You get what you vote for. I can't say what I hope happens to them and their families without getting banned so suffice to say it's nothing good. They deserve it for the things they support

quote:As a direct result of the clean up I would fly up from the ATL with a couple of friends for a weekend every 2 or 3 months or so. Had a blast. NYC truly was the greatest city in the world back then IMO. Too bad what's happened to it lately.

When the government shows it will tolerate criminal activity, that activity increases.
NY is showing that they’ll tolerate drug use, so they have overt drug use.
NOLA started putting teens back on the street following arrests, so teens now know they can get away with property crimes and they’re brazen about it.

Another resident contacted The Post following a recent 8 a.m. stroll to the park’s dog run, reporting a female giving oral sex to a drug dealer, with other men “lined up for their turn” with their pants open.
Where was Kamala on that morning?

Now that they have destroyed California and New York, they are spreading like the plaque to Texas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, etc.
A common question on this board is "why do they move to a red state but keep voting blue knowing that it eventually destroys the community?"
It defies common sense doesn't it?
The answer is leftists have no common sense. They are ruled by emotion not logic. They can have multiple degrees or a shite ton of money but they will never change. They demand fairness without ever thinking of the consequences or that life doesnt work that way.
Once they ruin one area they will move to the next.
Your roach infestation comparison is accurate.
