More anarchy in NYC. Disturbing video captures teen mob beat up NYC man out walking his dog
He is a firefighter, off-duty at the time of the attack, but that isn't what started the issue. He had the nerve to ask them to stop setting off fireworks in the park. So they attacked him.
The 44-year-old victim said he was strolling with his 3-year-old Labradoodle Dylan in Juniper Valley Park in Middle Village at around 9:55 p.m. Friday when he was suddenly targeted by the mob.
“There were at least 100 kids … I was walking my dog. They just picked me out and approached me,” the still-shaken victim, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Post Saturday afternoon.
Curtis Sliwa, of Guardian Angeles fame, and current GOP candidate for Mayor, claims that police were in the area, but failed to respond to the attack. They did show up fairly quickly once it looked to turn nasty.
Police on Saturday confirmed to The Post that the victim was struck in the head with a glass bottle at 75th Street and Juniper Boulevard North. No arrests were made. The pooch, who was scooped up by a good Samaritan, was not hurt.
Once again we see that Hobbes was correct about what happens when law and order are abandoned.
It also brings to mind "The Second Coming by W. B. Yeats.
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Western Civilization was nice while it lasted.
