This is cool (and much happier than the DC incident). Kids started a snowball fight at 1 am during a blizzard in the middle of Times Square, and it got pretty big. A cop watching the 45-minute melee described it as "epic".  http://blog.ricecracker.net/2009/12/...-times-square/

|  | no really, smokemeth&hailsatan | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Pueblo, CO | | | I remember the snowball fights we used to have across the entire base. Huge epic all day fights with the original teams being team one or team two. Pretty soon every kid was either a team one or team two. It would spread out to be epic huge, with major battles happening throughout the day. Nobody ever got seriously hurt, and in the end we were all still good friends. But during the snowball fights no person was sacred. |

It's like, there's all this crap going on in the world today and all the negativity and anger and dissension and despair... but for a little piece of time a whole bunch of people just allowed themselves to be kids again and have a little innocent fun.
Maybe I'm just being a sentimental sap over the holidays. But it looked like something really cool. Maybe we as a nation still are capable of finding joy in the simple things.

Plus, it's Times Square--always a crowd of all ages, nationalities, etc.

| | | | It is always interesting that places like New York City, Washington D.C., etc. are not used to getting much snow and people do things like this to enjoy it. Where I live, we are so used to lots and lots of snow that it never fazes us and you never see anything like impromptu snowball fights involving dozens of people. |

I dunno, maybe it was just that epic when I was 10. |
