Lovely. I recently spotted a new garbage can explicitly to dispose of needles along the East River around 19th Street.
Dirtbag crusties who can't even be bothered to toss their needles in the garbage, instead tossing them in the grass for passers-by to step on need jail, not treatment. It's one thing to be a junkie; it's another thing entirely to expose strangers to Hep C.
It's def a shame that this is going on in our park, but it's dangerous to others and unfair to folks that want to enjoy sitting on the grass. Someone could get really sick stepping on one of these...
What are those blue things? Are drug dealers becoming fancy? Are they trying to copy Breaking Bad? Those things look fancy like they come from a company like pfizer.
It's just a few degrees away from the more respectable/socially acceptable pharmaceutical escape hatches. These anxiety dampened, emotionally numbed zombies represent a completely different, more insidious threat; at least I can step over these junkies' syringes; I can't step over your drugged up, tranquilized society.

Oh shit.

Someone call the night mayor!!!
Heartbreaking
What ARE the blue things? I guess I'm naive...
I'm not going to judge people for self-medicating. I will however judge them for littering. Jerkasses.
How do people get up in the morning? This is so sad.

My educated guess is that the blue things are individual containers of sterile water with which to prepare shots.

The blue things look like ampules—in this case, used-up, empty ampules.
I miss the days of 'ludes and poppers.
