Why is anyone hanging out in that park at 2 am anyway? Sorry, PC people, I’ll be more alarmed by this incident if it occurred at 2 pm. The neighborhood is a very safe place, but that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t be stupid and not make themselves targets for crime.

Only two kinds of people in the park at 2 am. Those robbing people, and those getting robbed. If you don’t know which person you are, you are the latter.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
