Hey all 👋🏻

Mod here - the repeated posts around dogs are just creating unproductive discourse + more headaches than helpfulness.

Have thoughts about dogs in Greenpoint? Drop them in this thread.

📌 Subreddit News/Updates Posting ICE Sightings in Greenpoint

167 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'll start by saying this sub is not a political sub. Pretty much our main rule (besides be nice to each other) is all posts have to be related to Greenpoint somehow, someway. That being said, we do understand those who want to report ICE agents being seen around the neighborhood and want to post a guide on the best way to possible report these sightings in a way that is most helpful. 

First and foremost, if you're choosing to post about an ICE sighting, please provide as many details as possible in the post. This graphic that has been going around is helpful if you're unsure what to share. You don't have to have all the information listed, but the moderators ask that each post has at least:

• date, time, and location

• a source 

• any detail about what was witnessed (I saw an agent standing at..., I saw what looked like agents escorting people... etc)

When it comes to sources, OP being the witness is preferred, but if you choose to post about a sighting you heard about secondhand, please include this in your post. It helps us as the moderators determine validity and any post without a source may be removed as hearsay. Other details, such as amount of agents seen, uniform description, or any other helpful identifiers are appreciated but moderators will be looking mainly for the points listed above.

We are a small group of moderators here, our goal is to create a safe space where these things can be discussed. The voices of you all here are reflective of the neighborhood and we have always strived to be a subreddit that showcases that. That being said, hate speech never has, and never will be tolerated here.

We hope that by posting this guideline it will helpful for those who want to post but are unsure how to format. If you have any questions or feedback on this topic, please feel free to drop a comment here or message the mods.

Remember that we're all navigating this together so please be kind to each other, and stay safe out there.

- The Greenpoint Mod Team :)

⚠️ Safety Alert Running in bike lane?? Stop.

• Upvotes

I understand that some runners might want to carve out their own space — but running IN A BIKE LANE is asinine. Why do I need to start yelling to get your attention, you don’t hear me because your headphones are too loud, and then I need to swerve into oncoming traffic behind me in a bike lane that is not isolated from said traffic in any way, just to get around you? There’s an icon of a bike on the ground for a reason. Please, let’s be a bit more rational.

❓Questions Creepy man in greenpoint

Post image
320 Upvotes

Has anyone else been approached by this man in Greenpoint?

A couple of months ago, he had to be asked to leave a bodega because he wouldn’t leave us alone (we took this picture that night).

Today, he approached me again on the street, repeatedly telling me I looked like a model and inviting me to a Halloween party. He kept trying to show me pictures of his house on his phone.

When I told him he was making me uncomfortable, asked him to stop following me, and made it clear that I had no interest in attending his party, he continued following me and persistently tried to get me to take his “business card,” saying that he “wanted people like me at his parties.”

I’m curious whether anyone else in the area has had a similar experience with him.

Last night while standing outside Safehouse I noticed a cloud that was blinking with diffuse light. I showed a friend and started filming. When the clouds cleared a bit it the light appeared as individual points glittering. Zoom in to see more clearly. I have another vid but can only post one at a time - will follow up later. Anyone else see this?

📰 Local News Sweet, Rescue Cat, Carlo, is looking for forever home :)

Thumbnail

43 Upvotes

Carlo was trapped a few months ago when he was living on the street behind the building in one of the parks in Brooklyn, NY. He is a little shy, so he would be ok as a single cat with someone who works from home or has other cats, if the person introduces them properly (which our rescue team can help with :)). Right now, Carlo enjoys having his brother around - Salem - at his foster home in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. He's very playful, docile, full of life, and the sweetest cat ever. He's neutered, vaccinated, and healthy. Carlo is a BOY... just in case the name is not clear. When we were trapping him, we thought he was a girl, so you never know! If you're interested in adopting this beautiful boy, please fill out our adoption application. We respond quickly to every inquiry. Thank you for considering giving Carlo a true and one forever home! The link to the adoption application in the comments.

⚠️ Safety Alert Scary guy that’s usually on meeker and Graham

20 Upvotes

Experienced this guy a few times in the last couple months. First time he was across the street, sprinted across the street when he saw me and ran right behind me yelling things. Tonight he did the same thing while I was on the phone, ran across the street to me screaming at me and then yelled at another man near me asking what I “said about him”. Saw him again later and he was bothering a girl saying something about wanting to know where she was later. She ignored him then he stopped when he saw me and was saying a bunch of gross things about “bending you over”. Asked my male friend to buy him a shot and bring it outside because he’s banned from the bar. Wondering if anyone knows who he is because it’s starting to get scary at this point. I don’t scare easily and have been in the city for awhile and it seems like he’s of sound mind enough to know which bars he’s banned from yet is following/screaming/harassing women.

Note to other women who encounter him, usually ignoring him works after a couple minutes but also try ducking into one of the many bars he’s apparently banned from.

⚠️ Safety Alert Possible motorcycle thief

Post image
18 Upvotes

First post on Reddit. I have a fancy ebike/moped with an app that sends a push notification and it notified me that someone moved my moped. I ran outside and saw this shirtless guy with a van that was still on. It was 10p. I stared him, he saw me and he walked back into his van. The app is very accurate and you need to move it quite a bit to trigger the notification. The moped weights almost 200lbs so there’s no way one man can lift it because of its shape (I can deadlift more than 320lbs). Anyway, I’ve moved it but beware of the van. I’m sure he’ll be back and there’s fancier motorcycles than mine out there.
