This post says ‘Ninja looking’ so they may or may not have covered their faces or hands? Dunno. Anyway, it sounds like some of them got busted.

“My boyfriend said they were all young and white and looked like bored rich kids.”

um, if they’re wearing Ninja outfits, how can you tell:
1) the color of their skin
2) their age
3) what’s in their wallets

“Williamsburg vandals had been black teens the story would have gotten more (and more hysterical) coverage. I find this to be likely true.”

most of what mr b covers involves violent crimes against other people – in the grand scheme of things some drunk people on the street with the largest concentration of bars/clubs in the neighborhood wtih the most bars and clubs in the boro doesn’t really concern me much (and i live 2 blocks from here) – rapes, stray bullets and muggings? yeah sure – but that’s all happening in brownstone brooklyn.

“Didn’t the recent events in Crown Heights and Clinton Hill involve acts of violence against people and not just property?”

JB, weren’t 3 people shot on that Crown Heights roof a couple of weeks ago?

(And, personally, I’d never pass up a chance to make fun of hipsters, especially dirty hipsters.)

Legion- they appear to be young, white and dumb. In costume.
