I like threads like this because they show what people here really think. Park Slope is around prospect park. One of the few parks in a dense borough. So should black teens now not walk in park slope at all even if they are coming/going from park or on their way to subway/bus? I guess only white people have the privilege of walking public areas in this city without immediately being considered a perp...
Oh give me a break. I'm sure they have parks in the own area, obviously not as big as Prospect Park, but still a park that they can enjoy. Any time that I've seen teens in large groups they have usually caused problems, and it isn't a coincidence either. I just get the impression that their own neighborhoods aren't exactly the greatest, so they figure why not come to a nice neighborhood and tear it down as well?
Okay I'll try once more with you. My past experience as a person who drew attention to himself by acting and dressing in a way that would draw attention to PD is what I believe happened to these youths. I am hoping that you can refrain from continuing to attack me and add something of substance to this thread.
Again, you don't know what the kids were doing. Perhaps they were trouble makers and if so how they were dressed is the least of their problems. Or perhaps they weren't. You also don't know what is in the minds of the cops who stopped them.
In short your past experiences have no relevancy to this matter. I'm not attacking you, just pointing out your experiences and issues have nothing to do with this case.
The lady should of took them in or at least let them hang out on her brownstone stoop for a bit. But then again that would have kept her out of the papers for an unwarranted article.
LOL Speaking of which, I've seen teens after school occupy stoops too, it's very ballsy and lack of simple morals. There is a school just a block away from my location. The stoops they decide to hang out at isn't even theirs, they don't even live there, they just open a gate to a random building and congregate at the stoop all loud and chit!, like wtf!

I find kids hanging on my stoop all the time, but I always recognize them from the block. If I didn't I'd be more inclined to report them. Which could have been the case with these kids a few blocks up before this lady gave them any attention.
John Jay HS is in Park Slope.....a lot of Flatbush kids go there, so I don't think a crowd of black kids on 7th Avenue after school hours is out of the ordinary.

If those black kids were sitting on the white lady's front stoop, she'd be the first one to call the police. Another liberal hypocrite. When your hipster neighborhood goes back to the crack dens of the 90s, we'll see how concerned she is...
