Instead of an image which doesn't tell us the story, here are:

And instead of DailyMail parroting and summarizing others in their own words, here's who ACTUALLY reported on this:

And then here are further articles from that same source:

I would encourage everyone to NOT immediately believe headlines, and instead look for the original sources. Investigate even them, and decide for yourself what happened.

The NY Post is in a shrill uproar about the kids using Washington Square park as Covid restrictions ease and summer has kicked in. Just shrieking panic, when 99 percent of them are just haning out, having fun, skating, maybe sneaking some weed. Any incident of illegality or violence in a 5-block radius is blamed on the young peple and made into a gigantic drama. The Daily Mail picks up and re-runs all these Post articles. I tell you, for a hometown paper, the NY Post really, really hates NYC. Just trashes it at every chance, like it's becoming a lawless Thunderdome. I grew up in 70s NYC, the Bronx, and for them to say that is just ridiculous.

the neighbors are complaining about the late night noise and the trash, the park has a curfew that gets ignored.
