Bronx

In Melrose, 5 charter buses show up everyday so tourists can wander around mindlessly and pointlessly by a police precinct that was featured in the movie Fort Apache, The Bronx according to the blog Welcome 2 the Bronx.

The 1980 movie was a fictional dramatization of the poverty, crime, blight, city government neglect and police and political corruption that engulfed the neighborhood in the 70’s and 80’s. This tour, unfortunately is real as described with venomous contempt by the narrator.

These gawking rubes as well as the ghoulish assholes organizing and producing these tours have no class or sense of decency. As with the lady with the bullet wall in Crown Heights and that monstrous Bronx is Burning mockery art exhibit and decadent party at a Chetrit development , it’s another case of a warped collective of people morbidly capitalizing on the Bad Old Days. This morbid curiosity tour resembles the scene in Treme when a tour bus arrived at a street funeral procession involving the Indian second line marchers.

Is this why the city and the NYPD is keeping crime at bay and the two decade dip in major crimes. Is this the result and the meaning behind the effort of arresting the gangs and the recidivist individual offenders and keeping stats low and providing security for the citizens or just for these wandering half-wits who do not pay taxes to live here but get to frolic around these areas of notoriety and film adaptations so they can put them in their horrendous and boring social networking photo album platforms?

It’s getting rigoddamndiculous out here. This tour for a marginal hit movie may be just the tipping point, but it won’t be long when a tour for “Do the right thing” comes around and stops by the spot where Radio Raheem got choked to death by a cop. Knowing these fiends, plans might be made for a stop by the newsstand where Eric Garner got choked to death. Really, why not, and judging by the clientele in that video, they don’t have the conscience to give a shit about the communities they are invading.
