St Pats day crowds don't come close to the Santa-con thousands. St Pats drunks visit Irish named bars not every damn bar they find. The residue left over from SC is ten fold from those green hats and scarves left by the "Irish for a day" drunks. Everyone is young once most of us are stupid at that age and at the very least this event has the potential to harm the participants on a large scale than any public gathering that goes down in the city. Fights, falls and sexual harassment spike during the Santa Con event. Another reason to stop it for good.

You think any other organization having such a major impact on parks, streets, neighborhoods, especially a political one, would be allowed to hide as “anonymous”? Lends major credence to the rumor that the organizers are current /retired NYPD who have major bar interests. As usual, there is some kind of corrupt government big time fix going down.
