Oh, she definitely thinks her uneducated, uncultured presence is somehow improving the neighborhood just by her being there, despite the fact that her Hillcrest neighbors are surely solidly working and middle-class people—she’s living in metropolitan, residential Long Island in the 2010s. Her neighbors all pay the…

They’re going to have to do it eventually when this crazy-ass bitch gets herself arrested. We all know it’s coming.

and ya know, plenty of Irish-American folks go out to a parade and then a pub, or just go straight to a pub at 10 a.m., lol, and sing songs loudly and get quite lit and a bit goofy and sentimental, but we don’t wear stupid hats or leprechaun costumes or use the day as an excuse to get blackout drunk while yelling at…

I’m with you 100 percent except honestly I’m not sure her crazy ass is gentrifying anything. I suspect that if those black men standing on the sidewalk outside her house, the ones upon whom she called the cops, were actually guzzling Hennessy, they were only doing so while also shaking their heads sadly and…

Right? She could just pick up the litter herself if it offends her that much.

If black and brown young folks acted with the entitlement of SantaConners, they could very well be choked to death or shot by NYPD.

It’s a nightmare. I want to lead the parade of SantaConners (along with those “Pants Off” subway dickheads) into those abandoned shipping containers on Pier 57 and then dump the lot of them into the Hudson River.

Sorry, I really didn’t have the insight when I criticized the police for not having or providing an exact number of calls for the first reporter who unexpectedly called them about it. I get it now!

You took me on a journey. Now I feel bad for ol’ Wetter and want to send him a fruit basket, or a gift certificate for a massage at one of Long Island’s many fine day spas.

[forgive me yet another double post, I don’t know why it keeps happening lately]

Yeah, I kind of jumped on Lt. Wethead at first, but then some other people pointed me to good reasons why he may not have given a precise number in this situation. My bad!

Don’t pay me any mind, I’m originally from dirty Jersey and obligated to pick on LI’s traffic (somehow worse than NJ’s) and accents (ditto, lol, j/k), but you guys get to be known as the ones with not-trashy beach towns and the birthplace of Public Enemy. Also, on the recommendation of another LI peep here, I will be…

Thanks for the insight! I have tremendous respect for serious professional journalists, always glad for some inside baseball on how these things work!

Right, I have no issue with controlled public drinking at organized events, but the SanatCon crowd is more like an anarchistic pub crawl, and they get away with drink-induced behaviors (clogging sidewalks, public urination, fighting, puking) that would have the cops out en masse for other groups. (As for St. Paddy’s,…

New England is Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

Huh. Yeah, that actually makes sense. Thanks!

I’m not sure about the suburbs but in New York City, you can’t drink in public or have an open container. Unless you’re a white college-looking kid participating in SantaCon or Saint “Patty’s” Day, vomiting your way through the East Village ... do not get me started!!

Did you miss me calling Smith a racist?

We have our own unique racial problems here in the NYC tristate area, yes, but Long Island is not New England.
