Bus Damage - Halloween 2010
It’s about time!
From the reports of last years Halloween, it looks like we might need to buy, umbrellas, or riot gear! I vote for neither. How about you?
The Gerritsen Beach Property Owners Association is requesting volunteers to walk around Halloween afternoon and night. They are counting on supportive members like you to help us all have a safe Halloween. Can you help?
Your time and effort will not only help us keep the neighborhood safe but also help us build a better image of our community!
The association is also requesting that everyone remain vigilant and calm. No one should take matters into their own hands and anyone walking around trick or treating to be follow Halloween safety and to call 911 if they see any mischief.
If you are interested, have questions, concerns, or just want more details call George at 917-538-4415

Why should we have to volunteer to keep the neighborhood safe? I thought thats why we pay so much in taxes so the Police can and should protect us?

The police are paid to protect us but that doesn’t mean the neighborhood can’t help. A lot of neighborhoods have a citizen patrol. They can cover more area than the police alone. I think it’s a great idea. I’d like more info, like if the folks are going to patrol alone or in pairs, etc.

You are wrong I know at least one High School that is going to be open, and WHY are you accusing the Catholic High School kids?????
Not all of GB kids attend Catholic High School you sound sort of prejudice to me!

I know for a fact that you’re wrong. Good Shepherd is closed on Nov 1st for All Saints Day. They are open on Halloween. And I agree, stop pointing fingers.

It will be interesting to see that now that Halloween fails
on a work day, will the MTA suspend B31 service if eggs are
thrown at buses. If so how will those of us relying on the
B31 get home. I hope we dont have to walk from Ave U becuase
of youth mischeif.

MTA states in todays Sunday News that they are prepared to shut down 3 bus lines on halloween, 2 in Bronx & 1 in Gerritsen Beach.

I guess that means that there is more mischief and assaults caused in Gerritsen Beach then anywhere else in Brooklyn and we should be really proud that our community has been identified as amoung the top 3 most dangerous for travelers on the MTA. What a great thing

What if you have a bad knee, ankle or other hurt body part. Why should anyone have to walk over a mile to get home when there is a bus to get them there. I sure don’t want to pay $2.25 to be let off before my stop just because of egg throwing. Why don’t you rent the hov-around for all of us who can’t walk? On top of it we will have to walk by the egg throwing people and possibly get hit with god knows what…I don’t think I want to do that, do you?

Wow no one likes not having a bus to take them home on Halloween. But how about the rest of the year, when the bus doesn’t run after a certain time of night , what do people who work nights do?
Amazing to me that we live in NYC the city that doesn’t sleep but the buses stop running. ( probably only in GB)

I would like to clarify.
I was there and he was just standing around in the middle of the avenue and on the sidewalk not hiding behind cars or bushes. In fact he was just standing around with a bunch of other people. I do not think your opinion represents the majority. Everyone that was there was angry. you wouldn’t be saying these things if you were there. hopefully you would of done something about it instead of putting up air quotes. I forgot that our neighborhood had a pristine image before this incident. A quick news search proves that our youth have major issues for the last two decades. One more thing. To call the images coveted is horrible. When you go back through the halloween posts, there are years worth of this stuff not sure why you are freaking out now.
