Avenue A Groper Flees Avenue A and Tompkins Square Park ...
Sometime at the beginning of this week the Avenue A Groper took flight from avenue A and TSP . According to the Groper the violent scene on the avenue and in the park was becoming too much for her to bear .
Last week the Groper was attacked and beaten near the chess tables . Not by young Hispanic males as has been the rule in TSP lately but by old time park adults .
Two weeks ago she was slugged with a clenched fist , full force in the chest , by a male on avenue A ; a very painful , undeserved blow that made breathing difficult for her for 3 days .
More than once last week the Groper was also robbed of her possessions and money while sleeping in TSP .
Having no place to live or sleep other than in the uncertain reality of the park and the street where she was always vulnerable , the Avenue A Groper , seeking a better life , left for parts unknown . .

Avenue A Groper Goes to Detox ...
It was just past midnight and had been a long difficult day of drinking , confrontations and of course some groping in Tompkins Square Park and on avenue A . By early Friday morning the Avenue A Groper was just too drunk and too tired to continue ;certainly too exhausted to grope .
The exhausted groper ; effecting a deep , continuous , guttural growling utterance ; stumbled into Ray's Candy Store . Ray , concerned that she would scare away customers , held a free hot dog at his candy store's front window hoping to lure her out of his candy store and around to the front window for the free dog . She went for the bait and left Ray's candy store for the front window , took the hot dog and tried to gain entrance to a parked blue car in front of Ray's . This was a fantasy quest ; obviously the blue car's doors were locked allowing her no entry . The hot dog wasn't what she really wanted either . She ate half the dog and threw the uneaten portion to the sidewalk .
The avenue A groper was still very drunk and very hungry . She wandered further up avenue A entering Odessa restaurant where she was immediately escorted to and out the front door . Without her much desired late night snack she continued her trek up avenue passing tentatively through a group of several cops and firemen that had been called to avenue A to deal with a drunken male passed out on the sidewalk .
As the groper journeyed further up avenue A , on the block between St Marks Place and 9th street , someone called for an ambulance for her . She was taken away to detox at a local hospital for at least the better part of the night , perhaps to return to avenue A and Tompkins Square Park as soon as sun rise Friday morning .

These Boots Weren't Made For Walkin' ....
This evening ended with a trip to the hospital : sobering-up and whatever medical treatment necessary . She claimed a blow to her head with a ketchup bottle left her with a large bump on her scalp . We did feel a lump on the back top side of her head the next day but witnesses' accounts do not all support her claim that a ketchup bottle produced it . By all accounts though Thursday evening between 10:30 PM and 11:00 PM , on avenue A between 7th street and Saint Marks Place was a bit frenzied .
It had been a beautiful fresh spring day and the evening was much the same . It was an evening to be enjoyed and the Groper only wanted to sip her drink , listen to some music and dance slowly by herself on the avenue A sidewalk . She pulled on her new stiletto heeled black boots , put the ear phones to her ears ,sipped a drink and blissfully started to dance .
Unfortunately though she had chosen to have her evening's pleasures in the wrong place . She was dancing in front of the open doors of a largely empty restaurant . The restaurant management was not pleased that she was stepping, twirling and sipping at their front door . After a few pleasant minutes she was chased away ,this first time with perhaps the use of excessive force . After a few minutes though the groper defiantly returned , now wearing her wings .
After briefly entering the restaurant for a few feet and shouting some taunts at the restaurant manager she was again chased away from the front of the restaurant . This time down the street to a local groceria which she entered to take refuge . Her large threatening foe entered the groceria too . She was confronted face-to-face and was verbally threatened ; told to stay away or else . She would not be bullied though ; she called the cops .
There was little that the police could do as she stood outside the restaurant and coarsely and loudly growled some old Italian curses . As she defiantly bellowed and paced back-and-forth on the sidewalk the manager of course bellowed back . She then sat down all alone on the sidewalk and defied anyone to mess with her . From a simple desire for a few untroubled moments for herself all of this had come to pass .
The police called for an ambulance . Sending her to a hospital where some one else would have to deal with her was the easiest solution for them . She was eventually coaxed , in tears , into the ambulance and hauled away to a hospital . This event was not to be finished here though .
The next day the Groper told us that she entered the restaurant with a large plastic bottle of organic ketchup , opened the bottle and hurled the rich , red healthful contents all about .

Best of Friends ...
A bit more than a week ago these two were seen fighting along with pacing back-and-forth and bellowing at each other for half an hour on avenue A here on NMNL in a post titled "These Boots Weren't Made For Walkin' " . In this post from last week the Groper , sitting with cocktail above , even claimed that Dennis had hit her over the head with a ketchup bottle just like the bright red one sitting on the table above . Tonight though it was all much less frenzied at Odessa Bar .
Tonight the Groper needed a drink . She walked into the Odessa Bar and ordered a Long Island Iced Tea . As she sat in a booth sipping her cocktail her new friend Dennis , the claimed ketchup bottle wielding manager from the previous post , walked up and much to our surprise gave her a hug . Tonight Dennis and the Groper were best of friends .

Trouble at the Chess Tables for the Groper .....
Tuesday night uniformed police were on avenue A and in Tompkins Square Park . Foot patrols were walking the avenue side walk and foot patrols and motor patrols were regularly seen in TSP .No matter the police presence though neither peace nor harmony were possible in TSP .
Sometime around 10 PM a heated altercation at the chess tables in TSP turned violent . 2 very animated males were arguing vociferously with the Groper . Tonight she was not groping , just in the males' faces arguing . One of the males punched the Groper in the face producing a bloody nose and a swollen painful lip . Police were called .
Several uniform officers arrived at the scene . Suspects were questioned and 1 male was arrested , cuffed and hauled away on assault charges .
Its becoming clear that just more police on the street and in the park will not bring peace and harmony to TSP and avenue A . Tonight the additional special help needed to achieve that end though may have arrived . Terrific twosome "Citizen Prime" and "Dark Guardian"made a timely show on avenue A at midnight offering to help fight crime and bring social harmony to the neighborhood .

Groper Grasps Guys Privates on Avenue A Friday Night ...
She went for whatever pleased her on avenue A Friday night . Asses or crotches to grope , her goal ; she would have them all . She preferred guys but really whatever she could get her hands on was best : one in the hand is better you know . Guys twisted , leaned , leaped and twirled ; dancing at times contortions worthy of Terpsichore herself ; performed hoping to keep their private parts safely beyond her reach .
She watched the street for just the right guys , the beautiful ones . Between gulps of Sparks Malt Liquor she spied the one she wanted and reached out to touch him . She hunched like a cougar and sprang for her prey , running after them as they ran befuddled and sometimes giggling down the street . When she did make a fruitful grope most didn't seem to mind her touch that much . Most giggled , struggled a bit , jumped away from her and hurried on down the street .
We asked the groper why she groped . She said that she liked doing it ; it made her feel really , really good . She just liked groping men's private parts . She was jonesin' for the thrill of a fruitful grope so much that she knew that it had to be an addiction . An addiction that she would never be able to kick .
Finally the police came and she and all the others drinking with her on the block disappeared into the night . .

A Friday Night on Avenue A ...
The spangin was easy and lucrative on avenue A thus the beer flowed Friday night . Bottle after bottle and can after can including everything from "Cobra" and "Sparks" to Heineken . The odor of burning herb was noticeable at times too . Folks drank , puked , fell down ,passed out , fought and some even exposed themselves . The avenue A groper was of course on the avenue groping the unsuspecting , enjoying herself .
Police came to the scene several times ,stopped a fight or two and handed out summonses for open containers ... some of which were summarily burned .

The Avenue A Groper is Back in TSP
We had hoped for better . She did try to leave . She was gone for almost 3 days . She says that she attempted to enter a detox program but that after minimal treatment , that is a good sobering-up , she was turned out to the street from which she had come .
We just spoke with her on avenue A as she was entering a drug store to buy batteries for her radio . She wanted to be able to listen to some tunes , as she was later having a cocktail or two .

Another Friday Night Bum Fight and Other Things ...
It wasn't the first drink to be snatched from the Yuca Bar window . L.E.S. Jewels has been pictured here several times snagging and absconding with other folks' Booze . According to a witness this Friday night's drink thief had made at least 4 previous snatches and had become drunk and a little sloppy . This green limed mixed drink flying down the street with the latest drink thief was not to be guzzled by this thirsty drunk though .
The incensed bar patron who had paid for this drink exited the bar , ran down the street , grabbed the drink thief and took back his drink . The thief's efforts produced nothing . There was more to come though for our drink thief .
Police came to the scene looking for a reported EDP (emotionally disturbed person ) but arriving too late found no one to arrest
Most of the regulars were busy on the avenue guzzling beers . The Avenue A Groper was knockin' back a "Cobra" and Jewels was lookin' for the spare change to buy a "Sparks" of his own . Most seemed a little edgy but remained functional : all could still stand upright . Our most recent drink thief was at the center of it all staggering from one side of the avenue A sidewalk to the other as well as wandering drunkenly and innocently into the avenue A traffic .
A drunken tumble evolved between this Friday's drink thief and former drink thief Jewels on the sidewalk . Folks gathered out side Odessa bar to watch and comment . For a while Jewels ,with his recently broken jaw , held his own but after a few minutes of rolling around on the sidewalk the drink thief manged to flip Jewels into the air landing him on his head thus directing the momentum of the sidewalk tussle in the drink thief's favor . The fight ended and both walked off to drink some more .
The drinking continued for all but Jewels who , even though his Amy was working and earning money right next door at Ray's Candy Store , hadn't sufficient change for a favorite "Sparks" . Jewels sat down and leaning his back against the wall of the now closed Yuca Bar buried his face between his knees . A drunken stranger walked up to this subdued Jewels and slapped him on the top of his head apparently trying to start another fight . Nothing happened .
The drinking and partying went on for some time . Most involved spent the night in various states of inebriation and wake fullness . The drink thief passed out in the doorway next to Ray's , again following Jewels' example by later publicly exposing himself and producing a gushing fountain of urine for all to see and avoid .
The next day , Saturday , the drink thief spent the day snatching drinks , drinking and raising hell in Tompkins Square Park . Some time around midnight Saturday evening the drink thief was found unconscious in the gutter at the corner of 7th street and avenue A . He was taken to detox by ambulance . Sunday he was to be seen , well stewed, wandering about the chess tables in TSP wearing clean clothes with a mixed drink--in a restaurant style glass with ice cubes--in his hand .
