With so much division some people don't want to see 😴 PEACE .❤
What a bunch of SCROOGES!! BAH HUMBUG !!!!!’
Rest in peace sweet Fish 🥲♥️🕯️
Love from Texas ♥️
😢😢😢😢😢
"Stay back stay back stay back" Tax dollars at work. The guy can go wherever he likes. Its not a crime scene. If youre going to become a cop learn your laws.
If not for the enjoyment,the city would not have done it for years
How sad! The way things are going in the world today, the City should have rejoiced in the fact the community found joy in what was repurposed. To just kill those fish is horrible. I pray the City provides a space for what brought joy and happiness. Fish are calming, lowers blood pressure by watching them. Shame on that City
😂😂😂😂these libtards worry about all the wrong ish.
Well I guess that’s one way to get the city to fix the streets.
Wow that they finally fixed something that the people loved! They made a mess into something great and you crapped on them Kamala voters equals a dead fish pond
Ofcourse it needed to be removed & filled in after all it brought happiness and joy to the people of the city & no council/ goverment can tolerate their people being happy n having fun or enjoying something can they!
Bravo!!! If the residents want gold fish that bad they can have them in their homes 😂😂😂😂😂
Hard to believe that little puddle that brought so much joy to people, is gone.😢
God forbid they let the fish live elsewhere! I can only imagine they poured the cement over the other fish that was brought in after they killed the first set. The were all probably scrambling for water so that’s why they were found huddled together like that.
They don’t bother fixing anything else in the city or address REAL problems but they wasted their time on this! Shame on the city and the officials and staff that made an issue of this wholesome idea that brought a small community together. Shame on them for killing these innocent fish!
I can name 5 ways someone could have sued the city for that being allowed, stop crying when they finally fix ur trash town
Idk why but I'm cracking up over the idea that the firefighters, instead of trying to relocate the fish (and probably for the better choosing to not get animal control involved because more likely than not animal control is understaffed and overwhelmed as it is), decided they don't get paid enough for this, and worked around the fish. And trust me I have had three makeshift aquariums in my basement, five Tupperware/Rubbermaid containers, three coolers, and six buckets that held a variety of live fish purely by accident (don't ask, it's a long story). And I've had all of those containers ruined by dead fish because that smell does not come out easily without a fight when it comes to certain (read: most) materials. And now I'm laughing over the idea of walking past this hydrant and smelling nothing but dead fish for the rest of time. I mean I don't know how well that would stand for concrete, but…I like to imagine that spot is now popular with the stray cats.
But seriously there's a lot of things that are messed up about this entire situation.
Of all things for the city to worry about right now and that’s what they choose to worry about. Go figure they see something that makes people happy and they destroy it
Oh that is so sad. They killed the fish. Nobody rescued them?
So. The city fixes something and people cry. The city doesn't fix something, and people cry.
I think folks just want a reason to whine.
Of course it was vandalised because everyone can’t help themselves being a POS
People are trash.
First mistake was drawing attention to it. They should have kept it secret. The city hates happiness. Positive: If you need something in the city fixed promptly just create an aquarium around it. They will be there in a flash.
Who would've thought life in the city is literally against nature
Horrendous. Rest in peace our little fish. How cruel to make fish die. How was this allowed? The fish could have been trapped and transferred. All lives matter.
Do these people not know what the fire extinguisher's purpose is. I think the fishes were okay with it.
New York has so many problems, they literally just needed to leave this one be and focus on real crime
Come on no matter how much we all enjoyed it we new it had to be fixed.
They weren't worried about fixing the problem until the community did something about it.
They could've removed the fish first smh
That leak will eventually undermine the road and sidewalks and cause a sinkhole and especially with winter coming the problem is when you turn off a fire hydrant it drains down at the bottom where it connects into the water main underground if it doesn't drain because it stays on it will freeze in the pipe and break the pipe or you won't be able to get water in the winter if there's a fire
The city should start a project for a new fish pond somewhere near by or like a massive awuarium or something as a memorial to the fishies
Gotta make sure the rent is high! Can't have puddles in the sidewalks
The government has it's priorities all wrong. Imagine if they put so much effort into HELPING
These people always just letting their stuff get destroyed by other peope who claim to be In charge but actually are not.. sad days.
How about all of those potholes?!!!
Just can’t have nice things
People are so dumb. That was never a suitable spot for an "aquarium" in the first place. Now everybody's blaming the city for fixing what should have never been broken.
Stop ruining good things by sharing them on social media. Once it went viral and the city knew about it, they'll have to fix it to avoid legal liabilities.
To be fair it was more that likely causing a sink hole youll find out about sooner or later
They could have moved the fish geez
Damn someone call mr.lagoon
Why are they upset about a city doing its job ?
The male white with a mustache is without a doubt NOT a real Brooklynite or New Yawker. Just another transplant.
