One more reason I don't go to the Halloween Parade anymore
It used to be a carnival, not a parade. You could just jump into the action at any point and dance on the streets at your hearts content. When did it go downhill? Somewhere in the 90s after the police started barricading and forced it into a parade. To me, that was just inviting violence, not containing it. Hence, the following story : Four people were shot and another person was stabbed after a brawl broke out in Union Square Park early Thursday morning, cops and witnesses said.

"She died looking into my eyes"
By the time you read this, we are fifteen days and some hours too late. By the time you read this, Lillian Milán is already dead and buried, victim of the daily little violences carried out by our tax-funded bureaucratic neglect.
We arrive more than half-way into the story because, even though there's a mother and wife missing, the bureaucratic violence that killed Ms. Milan is still going strong.
You don't need to go to New Orleans to witness the havoc and devastation of our government's willful neglect.
All you need to do is take the train to 140 Moore Street in Brooklyn.
