Easter night mayhem in Times Square evokes scarier times

Bird's the word outside Midtown South Precinct stationhouse following arrests after shooting of four people in Herald and Times squares on Easter Sunday night.


The back of the police wagon opened outside Manhattan Criminal Court and the first of the accused moon cricket marauders stepped out in pants that hung so low his red boxers were almost fully exposed.

He also wore a red top, which may have marked him as a member of the Bloods gang, although the more significant detail was the Polo logo over the right breast.

A prisoner behind him wore a white shirt with an outsize version of this same logo, a perennial favorite among the street set. Others on the daisy chain had opted to wear plaid, the latest in city fashion.

However many Bloods and Crips members may have been among the rowdy crew that swarmed through Times Square Sunday night, it was less a gang event than the continuation of a tradition that began as a kind of fashion stroll back in the bad old days.

In the 1980s, when the city seemed virtually uncontrollable, Coney Island was the place to be on Easter. The idea was to wear all your gold. The challenge was to still have it when you went home.

I can remember being there with a young cop named Jack Maple a quarter century ago when gunfire suddenly erupted and a crowd of several thousand scattered in all directions.

Nobody was hit and the crowd reassembled, laughing and dancing to the music from the Polar Express amusement ride, giddy with the power of numbers.

That was in a time when crews dubbed "wolfpacks" rode in from the outer boroughs to hunt for "vics," grabbing whatever cash and jewelry they could.

"Manhattan make it and Brooklyn take it!" was a popular cry.

That ended after the police began countering the power of numbers with numbers of their own, along with rapid deployment and relentless followup. Cops began hunting down every member of a crew rather than being satisfied with whomever they chanced to grab.

When the NYPD applied this same approach to crimes of every kind, New York became the safest big city in America.

Still, the Easter tradition persisted even as gold largely passed out of fashion. And as Coney Island declined, the annual gathering shifted to the Times Square area. The power of numbers still got some people giddy, and there were disturbances in three of the last four years.

This year marked an escalation as four people were shot. A great cancer nurse I know named Ann Culkin was leaving the Port Authority Bus Terminal at 12:03 a.m. with two bags when she found herself caught in a crowd. She saw big numbers of cops, some on horseback. She then heard a shout.

"Someone's shot!"

Culkin was struggling to head uptown when a cop offered advice such as is seldom heard in this safest of big cities.

"Get yourself a cab and get out of here."

Culkin felt as if she were escaping from some time warp that had taken her back to the bad old days, and that feeling is what really made this Easter gathering different.

The 33 accused marauders were awaiting arraignment Monday when a man named Terhan Bey was brought before the judge for beating the subway fare. The prosecutor noted Bey is one of the "Dirty Dozen" quality-of-life violators the mayor spoke of during his 2009 State of the City speech, but nobody seemed much impressed.

The big buzz down at court was about the many dozens the mayor said had gone "wilding," the ones who made you worry that the bad old days could return for more than a few hours on Easter night.

Teeniggers busted in Easter 'wilding' cry foul, as district attorney says no plea bargains

Scene at the Midtown South Precinct where 20 "innocent" niggers were arrested in a sweep after two shootings in Herald and Times Squares, with 3 people shot.


Prosecutors ordered no plea deals for dozens of yoofs picked up during Easter night "wilding" in midtown - and the district attorney even showed up for the arraignments.

The unusual, hard-line stance underscored how seriously officials are treating the rampage, which put the NYPD on the defensive and resurrected images of the city's dangerous past.

Cops nabbed a young Bronx boon Tuesday who is accused of being the shooter who wounded two bystanders in the Herald Square portion of the midtown mayhem.

"New York cannot take one step backward in our fight to keep our streets safe," District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. said in Manhattan Criminal Court, where 33 people arrested early Monday were being arraigned.

"My office is extremely concerned about the threat to public safety . . . and we will treat these cases with the attention and seriousness they deserve."

Police said marauding bands of teenapers roamed Times Square and Herald Square late Sunday, leading to the random shootings of four people - three of them female bystanders.

Many of the yoofs released Tuesday after spending two nights in jail on disorderly-conduct raps complained they had nuffin' to do wif da brawling and were unfairly rounded up.

Gary Best, 20, a student from Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, said he was seeing a movie in Times Square with friends when police snatched him.

"I wasn't doing anything. They just came and grabbed me," said Best, who was pictured in Tuesday's Daily News flipping the bird - a reaction, he said, to being treated "like a criminal."

"It was crazy how they handled it," he said of police. "They took hold of anybody they could grab."

Jonathan Thompson, 16, of Brownsville, Brooklyn, said he, too, went to Times Square to see a flick, not cause trouble.

"We go down there because dat's where da pussy is. Everybody knows that's the place to go on Easter," he said.

Thompson said he ran when a nearby group started brawling. "A cop just tackled me," he said. "They just opened up with Mace and grabbed everybody."

Detectives hunted down Rayvon Guice, 20, of the Bronx, Tuesday and booked him for assault and possession of a weapon in connection with the gunplay in Herald Square.

Cops believe that shooting was unrelated to the Times Square gunfire, which Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said sprang from a dispute between a Manhattan group and another from the Bronx.

Detectives have a solid lead on at least one other suspected gunman, Kelly said.

Yolanda Otero said she and her 17-year-old son dined at Applebee's and then became separated in the crowds. Next thing she knew, he was being arrested.

"It was crazy," she said. "They grabbed him up and slammed him on the floor. They thought he was part of that group."

As defendants were brought before a judge one by one Tuesday, a prosecutor repeatedly dismissed the idea of cutting plea deals, common in disorderly-conduct cases.

Though the shooting victims were not seriously hurt, the Easter "wilding" - as Mayor Bloomberg called it - sent shudders through the city, reviving bad memories of New York under siege.

As of Easter, overall crime was down 2.3% over the same period last year. However, murders were up 21.6%, to 118, and shootings are up 14%, to 293.

Rayvon Guice, who shot two women during Easter rampage, keeps getting free pass

Twenty-year-old Rayvon Guice was back in court Wednesday, charged with shooting two young women during the Easter night rampage that ranged from Times Square to Herald Square.

Guice was last in court on a gun charge two years ago in the Bronx. He had approached a crowd of young people outside 2430 E. Tremont Ave. just before midnight on Aug.25, 2008.

Guice accused them of having followed a buddy who had passed through the neighborhood earlier with a girlfriend. Court papers describe what happened next.

"Defendant stated in sum and substance YOU WANT TO FOLLOW SOMEBODY, YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE F---ING WITH and then shot three times into said crowd of people with a .45-caliber handgun."
