Call the police 👮‍♀️

I believe he is wearing a thong as I can't see the schlong! OMG what is happening in Queens!

Is that Mamdani 6am ? 😂

I would’ve yelled “put that little thing away”

Glory fence?

That's one way to avoid swamp ass 😆 🤣 😂

Looks like Zumba in the park is paying off! But why does he have to be such a show off?!?!😜😁

Damn!! He keeps his shit tight!!!!

Coffee club?

Thats some balls

“911 where’s the emergency”…!!!!

Is he stuck in the fence?

I sincerely hope he was wearing a thong.

Suns out buns out

The worst part is that he's in a park where children play, imagine if this was to happen with children in it.

Is that a strait jacket? 🧐

Wow to be honest I’m not even surprised

Who’s the guy sitting on the bench; kind of early don’t you think.

Ok. No one is asking the real question ....where are his pants ???? NOT around his ankles !!!!!!!

Wood chipper!

I guess he turned the other cheek 😆 🤣 😂

He's flashing the people on the other side of the fence lmfao

Ali G reincarnated as Mamdani

Look at the expression on the guy on the other side of the fence!!

What would Kathy Hochul say? What would Mamdani say?
