Every town has its Independence Day traditions, and on Long Island, Stewart Manor celebrates with water balloons. CBS New York's Jennifer Bisram has the story.
The parade is great except this year there were CLEARLY people who were not from the town. We do not throw balloons at the walking participants!!! We do not throw balloons at the elderly or the town Governement! We do not soak the nurse walking behind the fire truck. We do not throw balloons at the people on motorcycles or people in the marching band. These advertisements for a small town parade are bringing rude people. I was so angry to see people allow their kids to throw balloons at our walking participants. That has never happened before. We clap for those people, not hit them with water. Smh
I'm glad you mentioned the part about the little girl, if not directly. She was applauded, but I thought it was disgraceful and ill-mannered for her to throw that balloon at Blakeman like that.
@@oriolesfan7807 Welcome to Long Island. While I agree with parts of the sentiment mentioned by the OP, I'm here on Long Island born and raised and this is what a lot of people are like on Long Island. They tend not to go full Karen because they care about how they are perceived, but it's in them 100%.
