For many Mark of the Mask supporters, the work of Samuel Freedman in the press is annoying. He whines about the death of Jill Tarlov and Irving Shachter, and the fact that he was a victim of a NYC cyclist.
Jason Marshall, who killed Jill Tarlov, has to put up with this? And have journalists from the UK photograph him as he runs through red lights in Harlem?
Enough already. The Ski Mask Society is fully behind these guys and those who point out that people like Jill are expendible; as Jason said, 'da bitch got in da way'.
Getting in the way of cyclists is a problem. And this weekend we are proud to say that this problem was addressed by a group of young men in the SMS Youth Party who faced down the security guards, dealers and customers at the Hells Kitchen Market.
All Saints' Day it was, but the SMS Youth Party does not pretend to be angels. Proud to be winged messengers of death, they have already decided that the 'closed to vehicular traffic' and 'get off your bike and walk' signs on 9th Avenue & 39th Street are for moronic, law abiding citizens.
And what do moronic, law abiding citizens get? First, a warning; then, a kicking.
And we are proud to say that Darrin Jennings of the Bronx, who works for the messenger of death speedy delivery company called Homer, rounded up the troops and went into action after being told by one the dealers at the market that he could not ride his bike among the pedestrians. Well, %&*$ THAT!
Daren pretended to dismount when confronted, but kept getting back on, as is the custom with the SMS Youth Party members who ride for Homer. They have been sending a message for months to the flea market that they ARE NOT TO BE MESSED WITH.
But there are always a few who don't get the message. They think the law is on their side. So what.
Daren cursed them out and told one elderly woman dealer she was an ugly bitch. And, for the man who was continuing to tell him that there have been incidents with Homer riders racing through 39th Street when it is closed to traffic, he had more than words. He told this guy he was coming back to *!#(@ him up, and is proud to be on video saying that. The SMS Youth Party is striking a chord here and we are proud. Heil Homer!
That might have sufficed for many a punk crack head in Gotham, but Daren is a cut above - as are his comrades who accompanied him from the Homer HQ in the Gotham Mini Storage facility. They came back to confront the dealer, and managed to assault first his customer, and then the dealer. They intended to do more but for some stupid reason the other dealers, customers and security took sides with the victims and escorted them out of the market.
Good job to the angry young men, I do think they made a point and now the flea market dealers and their customers will shut the *@# up. As will the Gothamites who whine in the press about bicycle messengers.
Word of wisdom: when you see the bright yellow jacket of the Homer dudes, with their big black boxes coming to a street near you, make sure you get the *@^# out of the way and don't end up in the box.
Get the message?
P.S. This is an ongoing story, and as anyone must realise, this is a satirical site. However, it is a factual site - and as more facts emerge about this, they will be added to comments rather than creating a new post which would displace this first one.
Currently the CEO, Adam Price, and the president of Homer Logistics, Dinis Passarinho, are trying like mad to come up with a defence. Mostly it is ridiculous, like trying to pretend that their young men are being pushed off bikes by elderly dealers. The more they whine they just look stupid and criminal.
UPDATE: Adam Price, CEO of Homer, called Alan Boss, the proprietor of Hells Kitchen Market, to tell him that Homer was posting a guard at the entrance to the market. Alan then spoke to the dealer who was assaulted, who, in turn, came by on Saturday to see if Homer was keeping its word. No surprise therefore that Alan Boss got a call asking if he wanted to talk to other dealers who were witnessing more bike messengers riding by and refusing to dismount. No guard. The dealers were laughing at it in disgust. Adam Price is looking more and more like a hapless liar.
What with such a bad situation, the market is set to lose its stamps and coin dealers, whose presence added much to the street. It was NYC's only outdoor stamps market, save for some amount of philatelic offerings on the tables of dealers at the Chelsea Market on 25th St. Hopefully they will be back in the Spring in time for the Jacob Javits Stamps Show. Homer may well be out of business by then, or the city will see the light and send its own guards to keep the 350,-000 or more expected visitors out of harm's way when they walk from their midtown hotels to the event.
HOMER SPONSORS: The following companies gave $ to Adam Price at Homer, not thinking perhaps that hiring lots of bike messengers without enough supervision to keep them from riding in pedestrian only lanes and then assaulting people, not to mention a total lack of drug testing at Homer, would lead to problems for the city: Brooklyn Bridge Ventures, Two Sigma Ventures, Vayner RSE, Rugged VC and Haystack Fund II
It would not be a bad idea to contact them to let them know and ask them to put responsible people in charge before another incident happens. New York DOES NOT NEED VIOLENT BIKE MESSENGERS AND CERTAINLY NOT WITH $2MILLION BEHIND THEM. The bikers from small companies are enough of a problem, but never have they gone into the company HQ and come out with more people to aid them in their violence against NYers.
