Let's make things quite simple.
Any festival that ends in violence gets a one year time out.
A second incident of violence results in a 2 year time out.
A third incident in violence results in a 4 year time out and so on exponentially.
There is no better way to teach a lesson than to take away when one has wronged.
A time-out? Please. Just cut back on the number of hours and get rid of J'Ouvert. If people can't act like they have any sense then no festival. Keep the parade during day hours only. If that doesn't work then get rid of the parade too. It's absurd when people can't even to a parade without being shot and killed. Same deal with the St. Patrick's Day parade. Too many drunks around causing problems up and down the East Side.
Any reason you are posting a link from last year??
Easy. The incessant need of so called "liberals" to show their need to imply that blacks are savages. When I point this out I become a "black militant".
Can we all agree that this "Festival" would have been cancelled years ago due to too much violence if it were the German, Irish, Ukrainian, Italian, or Swiss Festival?
St Pats and New Years celebration have brought their own share of violence that MTA and others have had to devise strategies to deal with it.
Of course these are drunken white men so nothing is made of this.
Only one was back in 2000 and it was mostly NON RICANS who were the perps.
And you know that everyone involved in violence was born in Jamaica, Trinidad, Guyana, Haiti, or Grenada, to name the nationals of Caribbean countries most involved.
One year there was violence at the parade and the perps had Spanish last names. I don't recall any West Indians screaming that "Spanish people should stay away".
