New York: Whites and Asians Pay $50 Million to Renovate Public Pool in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg That Had been Shut Down for 30 Years; Racist Blacks

Immediately Turn It into a Toilet, Replete with Murder Attempts on Lifeguards
By Nicholas Stix

Well, this time at least none of the rioters, er, swimmers, tried to murder a lifeguard, so it was a pretty good day, by contemporary New York City standards.

Arrestees: Antquan Lomax, 23, Ronald Crouthers, 24, of Brooklyn, and Jamaar Gordon, 24, of Queens.

Although Williamsburg is in Brooklyn, none of these guys was from the neighborhood, which is split between Hispanics, Satmarer Hasidim, and SWPL types. Note, too that the worst racist troublemakers were not kids.

Cops had to use pepper spray to subdue brawling bathers as yet another fight shut down Williamsburg’s star-crossed McCarren Park Pool on Tuesday.

A YouTube video of the incident shows a chaotic melee, with shouting, swearing youths surging and pushing towards a cluster of cops who have a suspect on the ground.

One officer can be seen dispersing the increasingly aggressive crowd with pepper spray, sending people running and then shaking the can as if to ready another shot of spray.

“Had that cop not used the mace they would have all piled in,” a witness who asked to remain anonymous told the Daily News.

“You could see moms and their children being: 'Oh my God.' One lady outside was saying 'I’m done with this pool, it's too much. I'm never coming back here.’”

“I was scared for my kids,” said Anna Lora, 33, of Ridgewood, Queens.

Antquan Lomax, 23, of Broooklyn, was charged with pushing an NYPD deputy inspector, while Ronald Crouthers, 24, of Brooklyn, and Jamaar Gordon, 24, of Queens were charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. A fourth person was issued a summons.

The witness said the trouble started around 6:15 p.m. when a group of boisterous teenagers began jeering and chanting at the deep end of the pool, which was packed to its 1,500-strong capacity on one of the year’s hottest days.

“You could tell something was going to happen. It was obvious. You just had that feeling in the air,” the witness said.

[When this demographic is present, that “feeling” is always in the air, and something always “happens.”]

Lifeguards and cops began to blow whistles, ordering the teens out of the pool, but they weren’t paying any mind.

“It looked like they had completely lost control. All the lifeguards were blowing whistles. Kids were jumping back in the pool even though it was closed,” he said.

“There was a complete breakdown of control. It looked like these kids were running the show.”

[It looked like that, because they were running the show. “Authority” figures fear either being brutalized or murdered (lifeguards), or being charged by racist blacks and their political—think Jumaane Williams—and media allies—think everyone, since Rupert Murdoch became Al Sharpton’s bitch—with “racial profiling.”]

The witness said he saw one teen being marched away by cops.

“Then something obviously happened - he tried to resist arrest maybe - and they forced him to the ground,” he said.

“Then a group of people come rushing in and that's when the cop used mace,” he said, saying two others were taken into custody.

“There was a palpable tension in the air," he said. "It was a really tense, unpleasant situation. ”

It was the fourth incident [in three weeks that the MSM have deigned to report on] at the gleaming 37,950-foot WPA-era pool, which reopened June 28 sporting a $50 million face-lift after being closed for three decades.

The day after the grand opening, the pool had to be shut down when teenagers attacked and tried to drown a lifeguard.

A few days later, another fight closed the pool and two cops went to the hospital with minor injuries.

Then there was poop-gate on July 9, when the pool was briefly closed for mystery fecal reasons.
