NY Union Square Chaos: Kai Cenat's giveaway event leads to mayhem; NY cops detain him and 65 others
Thousands of people overran New York’s Union Square and the surrounding streets yesterday in a chaotic scene after a popular live streamer announced a “giveaway” event, with police struggling to contain fans throwing projectiles and injuring officers.
The event was promoted by Kai Cenat, best known for his live streams on the gaming site Twitch and YouTube videos.
He had earlier announced a “huge giveaway” on his Instagram account for 4pm at the Manhattan park.
Police in New York City has detained him since the incident.
Cenat has 6.5 million followers on Twitch and 4 million subscribers on YouTube.
He was named “Streamer of the Year” in 2022 at the Streamy Awards.
Officers struggled to control a crowd of thousands of people who gathered at Union Square purportedly because of Cenat.
Aerial TV news footage yesterday showed a surging, tightly packed crowd climbing on vehicles, hurling chairs, throwing punches and scaling structures in the park.
Shouting teenagers swung objects at car windows and ran through the streets.

Harvey Weinstein’s Rape Conviction , Is Overturned.
New York's Court of Appeals
overturned the movie mogul's 2020 rape conviction by a vote of 4-3 on April 25.
According to the appeals court, trial judge James Burke "prejudiced Weinstein with 'egregious' improper rulings," AP reports. .
For example, he let women bring forth allegations against Weinstein that he wasn't charged with.
The action was an "abuse of judicial discretion," the appeals court said. .
Without question, this is appalling,
shameful, repulsive conduct that
could only diminish defendant’s
character before the jury, New York's Court of Appeals, via AP.
Although this conviction has been overturned, the 72-year-old will remain in prison due to a separate 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles.
His lawyers have chosen to
appeal that conviction as well. .
Jennifer Bonjean, who helped free Bill Cosby from
prison, issued a statement about the development.

A jury was told in California that
he was convicted in another
state for rape ... turns out he
shouldn’t have been convicted
and it wasn’t a fair conviction… , Jennifer Bonjean, Harvey Weinstein's attorney, via AP.
It interfered with his
presumption of innocence in
a significant way in California, Jennifer Bonjean, Harvey Weinstein's attorney, via AP.
On April 25, prosecutors said that "the legal issues identified by the New York Court of Appeal are
not present in the Los Angeles County Case.".
The Manhattan district attorney's office
said they will "do everything in our power to
retry this case, and remain steadfast in our commitment to survivors of sexual assault."

Harvey Weinstein's lawyer is saying it's a "great day in America" after the former Hollywood mogul's rape conviction in New York was overturned.

The New York state Court of Appeals overturned Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction Thursday, ruling that the judge in the New York County trial was prejudiced against Weinstein because among other things, the court allowed women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case.
