“‘ve been around here forever. Before the riots. I know all this kids forever. I’m getting ready to marry one of them who is in Rikers right now. About three weeks ago, it was May seventeenth at two forty eight in the afternoon. Me and Tinnon were walking down twelfth street to go to my friends house. Yeah we were making out and we were a little bit intoxicated. He had me pinned on a car and I had my leg wrapped around him and we were making out. And these kids come up. They’re like, ‘Rip her shirt down, rip her shirt down.'” —Christine, Photograph © Steven Hirsch
