The Daily News has more information about the multiple stabbings in Times Square on Friday night. Apparently the opening of Saw V at the AMC Empire 25 on 42nd Street had something to do with it: "Tension built after swarms of teens and young adults were trying to exit and enter theaters, including disappointed groups who couldn't get into sold-out shows." A police source called it "a tinderbox" and a witness described, "It seemed like hundreds of kids, roaming around in packs, screaming, yelling, running through the streets like wild animals." One of the victims, stabbed in the neck, is left partially paralyzed. The police, which made a few arrests, is having its gang unit investigate; a witness explained, "There were gangs all around the area, all over 42nd St. You can tell by their bandanas."

jigsaw should devise some machination whereby all the kiddies here have to stab each other to make it out alive! oh yeah, they don't need jigsaw for that probably
I don't think the kids who are growing up in the neighborhoods where this is building have the goth option. I'd be mince meat.
I'm surprised there wasn't a shooting.
Give it time Jacque. Then they can rename it Sunrise Cinemas West.
I see Times Sq is getting its edge back. That should help scare off some more tourist dollars the city is going to need desperately now that Wall St is in the toilet.
Ides, the tourists are already fleeing because they can't get Euro discounts anymore. That's the killer, not gang riots.
Can we please put those dumbasses on an island and then film Survivor: Battle Royale?
"It seemed like hundreds of kids, roaming around in packs, screaming, yelling, running through the streets like wild animals."
See what happens when children are allowed to grow up in unorganized communities!
I wonder if the producers of Saw V would like to pay for all of this? They are the ones profiting from it.
I actually kinda feel bad for the tourists who think that it's a good idea to go catch a movie on 42nd street. They don't realize that the only people who go to these movies at these theaters are the "underprivileged" kids from Brooklyn and the Bronx. You know, Mr. Sharptons "constituents", the same people that yell at the movie screen or talk on their cell phone during the whole movie. Generally known as the undesirables.
"There were gangs all around the area, all over 42nd St. You can tell by their bandanas."
Now THAT'S top-sheld policework, right there.
