NYC: The City That Never Sleeps... Unless It's Rioting
So, another day, another riot in the Big Apple. You'd think after all these years, New Yorkers would've figured out how to settle their differences without resorting to throwing things and setting stuff on fire. But hey, what's a city without a little chaos, right?
Why is everyone losing their minds today?
Honestly, who knows? Maybe it's the water. Maybe it's the pizza. Maybe it's just that New Yorkers are really, really passionate about everything. One minute they're arguing about the best bagel shop, the next they're barricading the streets. It's like a real-life soap opera, but with more property damage.
The Usual Suspects
Of course, there's always a core group of folks who seem to show up to every riot like it's a block party. You know the types: the guy with the bandana who thinks he's a revolutionary, the girl with the megaphone who's screaming about "injustice," and the dude in the hoodie who's probably just there for the free snacks.
Is it safe to go outside?
Probably not. But if you must, wear a helmet, carry a first aid kit, and avoid eye contact with anyone holding a sign that says "Revolution Now." And for the love of Pete, don't try to reason with anyone. It won't work.
Can we just all calm down?
Wouldn't that be nice? Maybe we could all just agree to disagree and go about our lives. But then again, where's the fun in that?
