The 119th Street Raccoons—the latest flamboyant, Warriors-esque gang to terrorize Harlem—are causing trouble once again. Neighbors on West 119th Street are now requesting $1,500 from the city to pay professionals to catch the (adorable) pests before the January mating season, during which the block will presumably turn into The Road Warrior with raccoons. According to resident Noreen Dean Dresser, the little no-goodniks "show no fear toward humans and have learned to lift lids off garbage cans and open screen doors." Could this be the long-rumored return to the Bad Old Days under softie mayor Bill de Blahsio? Only time will tell. [DNAinfo; previously]
