Lawless Cities Are Not Nice Places

God forbid they should institutionalize him. That would be UNFAIR! So they let me terrorize an entire neighborhood. Scourge of Gramercy Park: Homeless man terrorizes NYC neighborhood

“That guy is known to be violent and has no decency,” Warshaw said. “He screams a lot, makes a ruckus and pulls his pants down.”

A Gramercy resident named Caleb said, “I always know he’s coming around because he’s screaming loud enough that you know when he’s in the neighborhood.”

“I’ve seen him walk up to an old lady before with two small dogs. This lady was in her 80s, minding her own business. He started barking at the dogs, getting them riled up … She could have fallen over that day and broken her hip.”

He accosts patrons of local businesses. He poops on the sidewalk. He spilled a guy's coffee because it was funny.

“This city is hell,” [a woman who confronted Mayor Adams] said.

Obligatory reference to Hobbes' Leviathan, and "the state of war."
