The only thing I can say in defense is Union Square is meant to hold a bunch of people. It's not like he was inviting them to a house. Mainly, I think he's an asshole as are most YT/TikTok pranksters.
The cops being like "there's too many people" in NYC at a tourist attraction is a bit much for me. I understand they were inconvenienced. Reacting to what happens in the streets is their job.

Even generally well-behaved people will eventually cause a problem as crowd density increases, but these weren't generally well-behaved people. Generally well-behaved people aren't dropping everything at an hour's notice during office hours to go to Union Square because a black prank YouTuber is giving away free shit.

They also jumped on cars, raided a construction site, stole tools and rocks and attacked the cops…
But yeah, just a “peaceful gathering”… 🙄
