In an act of unmitigated gall, RIOC thanked itself for the 4th of July celebration after blocking residents from using Southpoint, the public park they pay for.

While much of the video shows people crowded together in shadeless meadows on Cornell Tech’s Campus, one sequence includes a view from the Shelton J. Haynes/Langan Rock Farm in Southpoint where no one else was permitted.
