West Indian Day Parade Ends With NO Violence Or Arrests

Posted by JayZeeBMT on Mon Sep 3 18:12:03 2012

fiogf49gjkf0d
I know LuchAAA was emotionally invested in there being a shooting or other violence at this year's West Indian Day Parade along Eastern Parkway, but according to NYPD Commissioner Kelly (who rode a float playing the timbalis in the parade), there was no violence at all. He says his cops made no arrests for incidents of any kind at the event. Three million New Yorkers attended the Parade and festival.

Sorry to disappoint you, Luch.

Three million? Moreover, I am asking you to please stop using big words such as timbalis in your posts. All you need to do is use the term drums and people will understand the type instrument of which you opine which means speak. On behalf of all SubChatters, OTChatters, and to a lesser extent, BusChatters, I want to take this opportunity to thank you again for your activism on behalf of the LGBTQIA Community and leading edge devices to include slats.

Yup, three million. That's about right for the WIDP, and is the reason the parade uses the big, broad Eastern Pkwy route. Also, I continue my diligence in advocating for leading-edge devices on all large commercial jets, including the upcoming MAX addition to the 737 family.

yes I brought it up as an example. thanks.

you may wanna try Portalia on Broadway near Steinway. Park Side in Corona is also awesome.

I have an idea for a private pool in a blue section of Queens. Forest Hills has a few private pools where you pay for the day and day camps are welcome. How about busing in kids from other neighborhoods to see how fast the libs in Forest Hills going running. It's the kind of neighborhood where grandpa took the freedom bus to Alabama but their own grandkids are in the least "diverse" environment at all times. THIW.

I worked Seattle to Newark yesterday. Now I am back home on Short Callout Telephone Standby, hereafter referred to as SCTS for purposes of this thread, for another 44 minutes but Fleet Reserve Coverage is adequate so I'm hoping the telephone remains silent. Worst case the telephone rings and I am activated off SCTS requiring me to quote push unquote in 3 hours. Now I am 1:50 from the Employee Lot (No Traffic) at EWR so do the math. Flying is an extremely safe and highly efficient mode of transportation in my opinion but I took the train back from Houston out of an abundance of caution.

Since you asked - in 1997: http://www.newjerseynewsroom.com/nation/exclusive-st-patricks-day-parade-beating-death-of-bronx-teen-still-lingers-for-family


It has been 15 years since her son was beaten to death by a group of teenagers at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Manhattan, but a mother’s grief still remains.

“You never get over it,” says 67-year-old Patricia Sarti of Yorktown Heights. “My husband died a year and a half ago, and never spoke about it. It killed him.”

Michael Sarti was just 17 years old when he encountered a group of young men near Madison Avenue and 59th Street. The altercation broke-out shortly after 2 p.m. just one block east of the parade route, where thousands of revelers had turned out to watch the marchers make their way up Fifth Avenue.

Sarti was kicked and beaten so viciously, the impact ruptured an artery in his brain stem. He bled inside his skull and remained in a coma for three weeks on life-support before dying, never regaining consciousness.

“15 years later, I’m still mourning my son,” says Patricia Sarti. “I moved away from the Bronx because I didn’t want to see Mikey’s friends grow up and get married and have kids.”

The Sarti family has since relocated from the Throgs Neck section of the Bronx to Yorktown Heights in northern Westchester County. She says her son never made it to his 18th birthday and says had he survived; he would have turned 33 on April 30.

“It’s forgotten. It’s yesterday’s news," says Sarti. "I don’t think anything has changed.”

Her older son, 46-year-old James Watt, was a New York City Department of Correction Officer in 1997 who happened to be marching in that St. Patrick’s Day Parade at the same time his younger brother was attacked.

"I could have been there to help my brother as he lay dying in the street," said Watt, who is still grieving in disbelief 15 years later.

The teenagers accused in the brutal attack, then 16-year-old Thomas Warnock, 18-year-old Jason Andrade and 19-year-old James Wiffin, now adults, faced the most serious charges ranging from murder to gang assault. A grand jury indicted Jason Andrade of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn on charges of second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter.

Two other teens were charged with inciting the crowd and received probation. Three adults, including two New York City Traffic Enforcement Agents and one German tourist who videotaped some parts of the footage from the beating, testified at the three week trial that ended in Androde's acquittal.

So you went back 17 years and found 1 incident (well I did say 10-20 years). So then based on that 1 incident it would seem that you justify and support the yearly violence at the West Indian Day Parade. Things are better this year - only two dead. I believe that it was four last year.

I guess that if the community wants to tolerate the annual carnage and hand-wringing over the aftermath, they might but how long is the Mayor who wants to stop people from drinking cola because its unhealthy, going to allow this sort of violence.

I guess that if the community wants to tolerate the annual carnage and hand-wringing over the aftermath

To be honest, within certain parts of the community, there's a meme of "I won't go because I don't want to be shot", and as you note, every year, there's always some negative sentiment about those who do engage in such violence, and there's rarely any pro-shooting sentiment. Regardless, if you're the type of person that's willing to possess a gun illegally and shoot somebody at a parade, no amount of middle class hand-wringing or shaming is going to work when somebody is angry, has low impulse control and feels the need to shoot somebody over an angry dispute.

I'm not sure what you mean by "middle-class hand wringing". This sort of senseless violence should transcend all economic classes and races. If the parade emotions and possibly the incidental drinking lead to this much carnage every year then government has an obligation to protect the citizenry.

I'm sure it's small amount of troublemakers drunkenly causing trouble. Of course if we apply the logic shown over the OWS protests, then all those people are fucked up and should all be deported :)
