One night in the park
Oh, Hanley....
"They are also investigating the New Jersey group's claim that the first officers who arrived on the scene told them to go back to New Jersey before they let off shells at you. None of you want to get shot tonight."
If they said anything, they said "cap your ass."
"...let off shells at you."
Puh-leeze!
As for the "racial" aspects, again, gimme a break. OF COURSE slurs were tossed; it's the nature of the beast. I grew up in the Berry Homes. Get in a fight with the South Beach boys, you called them "fucking wop bastards." I was so used to being called a "dumb Mick shit" that it became background noise. When a buddy of mine, Timmy Turner, would do something to embarass me, he was "you nigger fuck."
It's nothing more than the usual blundering bullshit.
No one asks the big Q:
What were ANY of those assholes doing down there that late at night?
