Short explanation
So this is Queens, New York City
In this borough, there is a park called Forest Park next to a neighborhood called Richmond Hill
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_Park_(Queens)
Last year, angry drivers signed a petition urging the city to allow them to drive through Forest Park.
Eric Adams, the Mayor, accepted their request:
That made some Richmond Hill residents angry.
So local families started demonstrating next to the park. They want the new mayor - Zohran Mamdani - to ban cars from Forest park.
Joann Ariola is a Republican member of New York City council

She personally wrote a letter to Mayor Eric Adams begging him to allow cars to go through Forest Park:
During the demonstration, she crossed the park in an SUV and showed up to mock demonstrators.
Some people have this huge fascination to drive their cars in parks and on beaches, I have never understood it. Cars are nice but they don’t need to be everywhere. I’m guessing there is a correlation with MAGA.
Why would they not surround and harass this bitch and her car? Do you even know how to protest bro?!
Caltrops are cheap and easy to make.
Appointed by the people to serve the interests of the people.
Or not.
Everyone needs to get polarizing filters for their cameras so we can see into the car windows of assholes.
The crowd: “WE’RE WALKIN’ HERE!”
People like Joann are too comfortable being their worst selves, they don’t deserve to be in office or in any position of power.
They always forget that others deserve to have places without cars. Seriously why do they need to drive through a park. It’s a park.
It’s a shortcut to heavier traffic!
If you take a look at the map, Freedom Drive is not even that useful. At best it is a minor shortcut if you’re coming from Myrtle Ave and need to go south, but don’t want to take Woodhaven Blvd. i guess?
It’s okay, she’s already failed as a person
