Chaos erupts in New York City's Union Square after promise of free PlayStations

So these thousands of people actually thought there would be thousands of free playstations?

How scary for the people stuck inside their vehicles in the traffic jam. Imagine having swarms of idiots surrounding your car and jumping on it when you don't know WTF is going on. (see photos in the article)

The linked article does state that it is still a developing story so it might change as the day goes on.

What a time to be alive.

Yeah I can see the NYPD going after this guy. Intentionally causing a major disturbance like this is a big nono.

This and swatting need to have much harsher fines and imprisonment.

Why didn't these "children" just do a classic teen takeover at a Best Buy instead and steal everything in the place? They're already a protected demographic and live in a far-left red state where theft under $1000 isn't even a crime anymore, so it's not like anything of any significance would happen to them even if the cops were allowed to show up to the scene. Must have been the potential for some major fun in fucking up a public place that drew them in as much as it was the potential for some more free shit from a current pseudo-celebrity. Not their fault though, they're frustrated, lack of quality jobs for barely functional illiterates who got graduated out of the school system barely able to even read a comic book, white supremacy, "it's an urban cultural thing you wouldn't understand", the cruelty of capitalism forced them to this extreme action, yada yada yada.....

I blame this on Orson Welles.

Kai is an idiot, but people who watch him are worse. His 4th of july stream was him and his housemates setting fire works off in the house and shooting each other with them... in the house.

It must be somewhat of a stupid cult then. Those idiots vandalized food carts, vehicles, stores, restaurants and raided a construction site for the weapons to do so. They disrupted traffic and public transit and caused businesses to have to shut down not to mention terrorizing normal people just trying to go about their own daily business. What the F*ck? A whole crapload of useless twats as far as I'm concerned.

It�s no different than Trump. They give people the perceived permission to be their worst selves. Then put them all in a crowd and it�s amplified.

The Trump twits though at least had a cause, no matter how odious both that cause and the person they rioted for genuinely are. These store-destroying riots or teen takeovers or mass vandalism gatherings are committed by feral little nothings doing it for laughs and nothing else. They're using the current political & social vogue that's somehow turned them into deprived victims as a cover to go apeshit and destroy/steal anything they want. Inside they're the most vacuous people imaginable, just like the rioters in Vancouver during the Canucks loss in 2011, and not a single one of them has even the slightest positive thing that they'll ever contribute to the world.

Shit, at least the majority of the Trump turds have jobs and pay their taxes. The urban rioters, who are entirely unemployable because they're so comprehensively stupid & uneducable, won't even ever hold a fucking job to have any tax taken off their paycheques. That's how utterly worthless they are.

With a dry cool wit like that, accompanied by an endless list of excuses for criminality and feral behaviour, I too could probably become the mayor of a large American city! Courtesy of the Hodges, who remain hilarious.
