Rochester's Historic East Avenue Neighborhood Littered with Red Solo Cups and Trash
If you're black or Latino in Rochester, NY, and are in possession of an open alcohol container; i.e.; a bottle or can of beer, Rochester, NY Police will issue you a ticket for violating the City's open container law, and, in some cases, especially if you have the misfortune of running into a dickhead cop, you may even get arrested.
If you're a white college student, or young elite professional, well, drink away, because chances are Rochester, NY cops will just look the other way.
That's exactly what happened this past weekend, as thousands of drunk, white college students and young professionals flocked to Rochester's downtown East End District, for the City's annual St. Patrick's Day Parade.
And boy did they get shitfaced.
I mean they got wasted.
Some even stumbled to their cars, (SEE VIDEO BELOW) and then got behind the wheel, driving away drunk, putting countless of innocent lives at risk.
All as Rochester, NY cops looked the other way.
Mary Alton has lived in Rochester, NY's historic East Avenue neighborhood for 50 years.
Mary's home, which is just a stones throw away from Kodak Founder George Eastman's East Avenue mansion, was one of many homes where drunken St. Patrick's Day partiers relieved themselves and dumped empty alcohol containers, red solo cups, pizza boxes, and half eaten slices of pizza.
"It's not right," Mary told me, as she picked up the empty cups and containers off her front lawn.
"I understand they want to party, I get it, but to trash and trespass on other people's property?"
"It's not right."
Check out the photos below that I took, as well as the video below of several drunk St. Patrick's Day partiers.
One so drunk that she nearly fell flat on her face while crossing the street.
I hate to even imagine just how different it would have gone down, if instead of thousands of drunk whites, it had been thousands of drunk blacks and Latinos littering, trespassing, pissing on homeowners lawns, and driving away drunk.
Of course, you'll never see Rochester, NY's mainstream media expose or in any way address just how thousands of white college students and young professionals are given a free pass by Rochester, NY Police to get drunk, litter, trespass, relieve themselves and then get behind the wheel, putting innocent lives at risk.
