Conflict in Astoria In my
Conflict in Astoria
In my continuing efforts to relate true scary ny stories as they happen around me, let me tell you what I witnessed a few hours ago. In the interests of my sleeping habits, this story will be told in the format of an unordered list:
- I was taking the garbage out in the rain when I saw two male Hispanics on bicycles.
- A black car pulled up to a stoplight. It turned green, but it didn't move.
- Men on bikes touched the car... or something. Unclear.
- Man in car didn't like that.
- Passenger in car got out and started talking shit with one guy on bike.
- Light turned yellow, then red again.
- Driver got out. Talked shit with the other guy on bike.
- Bike guys gently placed bikes on ground.
- Chest thumping ensued.
- I saw a cop car driving up the street. Apparently no one else did. Thumping and talking carried on.
- Cop car stopped in middle of street. Turned on siren. Didn't want to get out of the car (rain).
- No one reacted. More shit talking and chest thumping.
- Cop pulls a quick 7-point turn. Drove wrong way down one way street to scene.
- Cops got out of car (in rain).
- By this point, driver and passenger were throwing punches and kicks at bikers. Bikers avoided all attempts to inflict bodily harm.
- Cop: "Get the fuck back in the car."
- Driver and passenger got the fuck back in the car.
- Bikers got back on their bikes and drove off. Overheard: "Man, that shit's just not worth it."
- Driver, passenger heard screaming with the cops about something or other.
- I placed my garbage in the bin and went inside.
