Who Rules the Streets of New York?

Who rules the streets? Some are beginning to wonder after a rash of incidents in the city organized by flash mobs.
You can find all types of vehicles making their way around Manhattan. Last weekend, more than a thousand skate boarders cruised city streets in the annual Broadway Bomb. Hundreds of bikers could be seen in the road rage video that went viral a few weeks ago.

Police say they’ve taken action to stop the rush of bikers and boarders that show up once the call goes out on social media. {snip}
One flash mob even took over an underground section of a city bridge for a party.
The NYPD says officers have confiscated well over a thousand motorcycles and have police monitoring social media so they can be prepared for any large events that pop up.
