More Rock Throwing In Marine Park

"All weekend long kids were throwing rocks at people, buses and cars again from Seba Avenue Park."

Shards of glass litter a bus shelter adjacent to Seba Playground/skate park in Marine Park. This is the third major incident of violence launched from Marine Park in the past two weeks.

"Its a zoo out here," a longtime resident of Marine Park told A Walk In The Park. "This is out of control. The cops aren't doing anything, they're blowing it off. Someone is going to get seriously hurt. Nobody is doing anything." - Geoffrey Croft (Photo: courtesy -GerritsenBeach.net )

As much as it pains GerritsenBeach.net to bring it up: All weekend long kids were throwing rocks at people, buses and cars again from Seba Avenue Park.

One resident even tried to reason with the kids:

Tonight I was at the skate park…a group of teenagers ages ranging 13-15 were throwing rocks, scooters, and pretty much anything else they could at busses, car services, and houses across from the skate park….I told them what they are doping is absolutely dumb…but they dont listen. I called 911, and no response. They continued to terrorize for almost two hours. No one cares. Sucks man. This neighborhood is funny, the parents dont give a !@#$ , and apparently neither do the police. Ridiculous..

They were throwing rocks at the bus shelter while a young man was sitting there waiting for the bus with his girlfriend. If it would have broke. you could have killed one of them. Thats also very unintelligent of you all.

Ive never once in my life felt the need to call 911. However tonight, even I felt like i was in danger,and thats !@#$%^& up. thats not what this neighborhood is about. People shouldnt have to worry about a$$hole kids throwing rocks at them in Gerritsen Beach. Not smart guys. Unsafe, not cool, and totally stupid. it’s time for a reality check. Your generation is !@#$%^ up, and thats sucks cause you are all unfortunately the future of this neighborhood. Things arent looking up. =(

We have also heard on good authority that one of the Radio Control Airplane guys saw a kid that he thinks was involved in throwing rocks at his vechile and started to yell at him. The kid ran home got his father, and a how dare you accuse my kid started and the Airplane Guy left for fear of retaliation.

Seba Avenue Park Vandalism

BROOKLYN

Gerritsen Beach is not going to take this sitting down! Why? Because all of the benches are gone!

20 benches, that’s right twenty! have either been uprooted or have gone missing from the tot-lot at Seba Avenue park. 15 Have been uprooted from the brick/cement base and 5 have gone complety missing. GBCares president John Douglas, who spoke with parks, recently said “kids were rocking the benches back and forth which ultimately loosened the bolts from the bricks”.

To be perfectly fair, most of the the other tot-lot playground equipment has also been destroyed or defaced.

Seba Avenue Park is no stranger to vandlism and problems. The park has been set on fire, all of the trees have been snapped, garbage thrown around and......
