Why don't you suggest that people do as they were told to do and confine their throwing of powder within the park as they were told to do?

They didn't and so there is a backlash.

I am always in mid town on St Patty's Day and there hasn't been rampant drunkenness for quite a while now. In the era when there was there were many who wanted the event banned.
