Interesting comments about the youth's innocence. I don't know why the East End of Rockaway tolerates this kind of destruction from whoever did it. It took years and franky some luck to get someone to take action on this blighted part of the beach and it was destroyed in minutes. I don't know why the good people of the community are not working with the cops so that they can have a nice place to raise their children, being poor is no excuse for this kind of nonsense - no one was robbing bread to feed their families - just wasteful stupidity.
