If you look at this hood's wrap sheet he should never have seen the light of day again. Has nothing to do with being "tough" on crime just enforce the laws equally as they are written on the books.
Have you seen his rap sheet?
All I see is a media report of 13 prior arrests, most, if not all ,occurred while he was a minor.
Being arrested does not necessarily mean being charged.
Was there sufficient evidence to charge him?
Was he convicted?
Sentenced?
He was previously questioned about a 2020 murder. Upon being arrested for the french fry shooting, Police had another opportunity to question him about the 2020 murder and reportedly he implicated himself.
The best approach is the one most suburbs take. Maximum amount of personal freedom and extremely tough on crime. The best way to reduce crime is to take habitual offenders off the street. What Guiliani did with NYC is a good model.
The Guillani card does not explain why violent crime and murder substantially declined THROUGHOUT THE US, regardless of strategy or lack thereof.
Homicide in NYC is half of what it was in Rudy’s final year.
What has changed is social media and the 24/7 news cycle that makes more people aware of crime.
^ another example of how social media and the 24/7 news cycle shapes perceptions.
NYC Homicides:
1990- 2,605
2000- 952
2010-530
2017-292
2018- 295
2019-319
2020-468
2021-488
So, almost doubling the homicides in the last 5 years isn't troubling ? As of June, NYC has had 189 homicides, which is down from the same time last year, everything else is up though.
Why do so many people try to deflect that crime is on the rise across the major cities in our country ? Why not agree, and work together to vote people in to curtail it ?
A total of 189 murders have been tallied in New York City as of Sunday, the latest date of available data. That’s down more than 13% from 218 on the same date a year ago, but rapes, robberies and felony assaults are all up: 15.4%. 39.7% and 19.6%, respectively.
So, almost doubling the homicides in the last 5 years isn't troubling ?
I mean, it is great that we are lower than the bad ol'days, but the upswing trend should still be alarming.
Social media may make us more 'aware' but it makes it no less important to crack down on crime whenever and wherever it is.
Even though the numbers are lower, it is the places these things are happening that has shifted.
When it happens in the ghettos nobody cares.
Numbers being lower mean little when they shifted into normally "safer" areas. For those neighborhoods I bet the numbers Are higher, much higher, even if overall nationally, it is lower.
This is an example of a mother raising children who adopt her views on life. The mother sees no fault in the lawless behavior of her son. she points fingers at everyone else. Her son prob did the same thing his entire life, never taking responsibility for his 13 prior arrests, always finding blame somewhere else, so he can exonerate any blame against himself.
Where was the manager during this protracted exchange?
Reportedly, the crew was laughing at the woman. She decides to FaceTime her son.
According to mama, the employee changed clothes and went outside to continue the debate.
Sounds like mama is trying to make a case for self defense. Never mind her son chose to run after shooting.
Imagine there is an in store video of the protracted incident.
The guy at the end of the video says it all, we have lost our values. How stupid is it to be shot over cold french fries and the gun man is now heading to Prison (hopefully).
It all comes down to the big chip of machismo that so many young guys are walking around with on their shoulder. In this case you argue with my Mom I will shoot you.
How many times have we seen criminals get caught by the Police and the scene turns ugly when the Punk fights back instead of accepting that he finally got caught for his crimes?
Shooting someone over Fries. How stupid and ignorant is that? Values, Morals and Respect for Life is gone.
Gone?
Most of the 330 million people in the US would not get into a heated debate over cold fries.
McDonalds serves 70 million customers each day. Presumably, a percentage of them receive cold fries or pickles when they specifically asked for no pickles.
Most people would not choose to face time a third party, let alone a son with known violent tendencies.
Most McDonalds would have simply replaced the cold fries and apologized and avoided escalation.
What has changed is social media and the 24/7 news cycle that creates a perception that values, morals and respect for life is gone.
With a lot of these women it's more nefarious. If she can get someone to shoot her son dead, a McD employee outside, or a cop.............it's possibly the lotto via lawsuit. A dead son could be worth millions. They know this.
How many is “ a lot of these women”? Who are “ these” women you refer to?
What evidence do you have that “ a lot of women” put their son’s in harm’s way for a payday?
