Read WBXRyder's post. When the eagle flies, some others also want to "get paid".

I'm starting to think that the number after marilyn's, screen name is her weight?!

But as far as Stop and Frisk goes, while I don't want innocent people to be poorly treated by the police, at the same time the reason why Bloomberg even had to institute stop and frisk is because you have some scummy behavior from certain people.

I don't want to hear any excuses from defenders of this criminal scum.

Basically, its the poor underclass people that are so worshipped and celebrated by bleeding heart liberals that are doing these brutal attacks on innocent people!

The behavior of these children is an absolute disgrace and an embarrassment. What kind of parents would allow their children to roam the streets committing criminal behaviors? If any of these thugs are underage, the parents should be held responsible. Maybe if mommy gets kicked out of her apartment and can't get into a shelter she'll try to do a better job in teaching her children that there are consequences for crappy behavior.

And really, New York should do like the Southern states were prisoners are forced to do hard labor. Upstate NY is cold, so even make them bust rocks in a quarry in the COLD!

And the behavior of this riff raff is exactly why New York needs to further eliminate easy welfare.

Airborneguy, I have my differences with you but I'm going to say that people should arm themselves in self defense and the city needs to organize a sense of community among working and law abiding people. If you had community full of armed people who cared about where they lived you would not have this kind of barbarism. The behavior of these cretins is wicked, vile, stupid, and savage.
This has to be a put on right? The only thing you get with more "law abiding people" armed is more dead people. Want to clean up the city just find all the people who voted against Obama last time and run them out of town.

Want to prove that with some statistics? How about you use Montana and Wyoming. Hint: they have the highest rates of gun ownership in the nation.

The only thing I liked about Gentrification of NYC is the women who moved to NYC in recent years to fulfill their ambitions. These women who come from elsewhere are very approachable, laidback, not so stuck up, very knowledgeable of todays times and like to have a good time, compared to the stuck up, shallow, rough looking native NYC women. If it wasn't for gentrification I would have been struggling with ladies or even worst, paying for child support, or seeing a woman with a self made family and helping her pay for a babysitter. As for Stop and Frisk. I live in the hood and I never once got Stop and Frisked. Yes I have been stopped but never Stopped and Frisk. To even take it a step further I never even got my bag searched by police at subway stations even though I look Middle Eastern/Hispanic since terrorism and drugs are such a big problem. I thought cops were into racial profiling? In a sense even though I'm not a fan of gentrification and Stop and Frisk to some extent I probably benefited from these two demons in some way, shape or form. So yes Gentrification and Stop and Frisk can be a good thing depending on the person.

Would not surprise me if the Last Frontier state of Alaska was third. Maybe it was even number one at some point.

As for Montana and Wyoming those states are not densley populated. A lof of lebensraum for everybody. Less stress. I still stand by my opinion that firearms in the hands of everybody in a hectic, densley populated city with social ills and huge social inequality would not work out very well. What works in pasture country might not work in an urban setting. Staring straight down a forty-four on the train everyday... no fun.

Exactly, you took the response right out of my hand.
It might therefore be a counterintuitive comparison.

Why is it always EVERYBODY with you guys? Sobro same thing: "oh, so even babies should carry guns right? or else we should be Somalia."

If NYC joined America in recognizing the Constitution, EVERYBODY wouldn't have a gun. More law-abiding citizens would, not EVERYBODY.

I truly can't imagine what it is going to feel like to live somewhere that's free one day. This place is bizarro world.

This has to be a lie! Don't you read the other comments, which insist that all young men of color are being S&Fed constantly on the streets of NYC, for no other reason than their race!

If ignorance is a bliss, than you should be eternally happy. I never said that it was for one, and I have already mentioned that there are overzealous cops everywhere in Pa. from Philly to Pittsburgh giving SOME of these clowns the right to harrass certain people would only make the situation worst. Finally what makes you think that I live in a high crime neighborhood because I'm black or because I oppose a failed police policy in another state?

If you really want to know quite frankly I'm tired of these white boys throwing lawn chairs in the street when cars are coming over hill blindly. Calling the police did not stop them but a group of neighbors found out who they were and it stopped.
