is/was as safe as generally brooklyn was, if not more. 1 shooting from amongst 1,000,000 – that’s statistically safer than most places and days

Your analysis is off – It doesn’t matter how many people are present, but how many shootings happen in a given area at a given time for a given event.

West Indian Day Parade is like playing Russian Roulette but with Reggae Music.

It’s the only parade where the cops and parade spectators both wear bullet proof vests.

It’s the only parade where people need to bring govt ID and proof of life insurance policy.

But besides one or two bad apples, most people had a blast.

There never are shootings at Chabad events. Say what you will about craziness in our ranks, and there is some. But there is no violence.
However this West Indian parade has killings every year.
