The first rule of Brooklyns notorious Brower Boys gang is: You dont talk about the Brower Boys gang. The second is: Unless its on Facebook, then its totally fine. Oh, but maybe accept a cops friend request before you do?Welcome to the latest edition of criminals being idiots on Facebook. Its maybe the best one yet.The Brower Boys, a gaggle of wayward youths who committed everything from burglary to sexual assault, had made Brooklyns Crown Heights their stomping ground for the last year. And, as teenagers so often do, they bragged about their exploits on Facebook. Bragged here meaning “posted video of,” and exploits being “robbing the hell out of people.”None of which would have gotten them in trouble, necessarily, had they bothered to form a Brower Boys Group or maybe Google+ circle? for limited sharing. Or if they hadnt accepted the friend request of NYPD officer Michael Rodriguez. Who needs an informant when youve got a newsfeed?
