I've lived in NY for almost 2 years now, and for about a year now, I've lived on Staten Island since no one else wants to live there so the rent is cheap.
There is a park not far from where I live, and I like going for walks there when I have time. Its peaceful and I hate people so it works out. I also like feeding the ducks and reading a book to. However, I've been noticing that lately, there aren't many ducks anymore. I figured it had something to do with migratory patterns or some such.
Then I noticed today that a duck was running around by the lake towards bushes. It was a piece of bread on a string and they were luring it into the bushes to catch in a pillow case to eat later.
I ended up getting into a fight with people who don't even speak english over it. I'm so angry. 
Why can people do this? Should I call the cops on them next time I see them?

-Mike | Thats basically whats happening. I don't wanna sound like a racist, but I mean, they're just day laborers who aren't here legally in all liklihood. And now they're destroying my park.

You are gonna see a LOT more things like this in the coming weeks. Get used to it.

Just because they don't speak or understand English will not preserve them from law. As Read Icculus put it, don't get angry, do something about it and informing the police might be the best idea first. |
