Jack Brown Personal Experience Punks accuse woman of being a pedophile

Early one morning on the weekend a woman was being harassed by 15 year olds riding Citibikes and other conveyances of vandalism. Between First Ave and Ave A. As I passed by she hooked my arm to be escorted to wherever I was going. Tompkins Square Park. The adolescents were accusing her of being a "pedophile". Seemingly for having engaged in conversation. She was slightly tipsy and they were aggressivly obnoxious. Inside the park at the corner of 7th and Ave A the pack of 5 came behind. The excuse was to return a sodden pack of cigarettes to the woman. The reason was to continue harrassment. An older Hispanic man sat beside the woman. I went to the bathrooms where a mae Parkie and 2 females were beside a van. I described the situation and asked that they take the van and direct the bike punks to leave the woman alone and leave. One female pParkie said the boys had been around all night. Looking for fun and feeling groovy New Jersey has laws that require underage would be riders to have special licenses. Wear helmets etc. New York City needs to enact similar common sense laws to restore a modicum of sanilty and safety to streets, sidewalks and parks.
