For a fun time on the Hudson, when the UN is in session, watch how many small/medium powerboats aren't paying attention to news and USCG notices before heading out.

They try to go full speed down the west side of Roosevelt Island and are always stopped and turned back by a pair of NYPD small gunboats.

"Turned back"? Maybe they should be impounded. (Or just sunk?) That might get their attention.

Much as the NYPD might have a reputation for being trigger happy, it's probably a good thing they don't arbitrarily open fire with the pintle mounted M2 or M249 on the front of those gunboats.

Especially when idiotic protesters wade out into the hudson to try to "block shipping lanes" or "protest police" in February. Basically a death wish.
