That’s what I assumed! I was hooked on his channel for two weeks straight.
I was born in Flatbush and I can see how dangerous Knewkirk was and it was called Vietnam back then according to my parents. I know the Jamaicans gangs had Flatbush on lock in those days!
And all the cabbie murders he has in his videos are crazy.
1990 recorded the most murders in the city. Some blame crack, but the crack epidemic was believed to have taken place in 1985-1990. How could so much murders take place at the tail end of the epidemic? And from what I heard, Jamaicans controlled the weed wholesale while the Dominicans had the crack trade. Ask your parents if they remember FPK(Flatbush Pully Kids) and New Lots Family. Oh yeah, in the 80s a lot of Jamaican political affiliated drug lords sought refuge in Brooklyn. Most had false papers and identities. Much of the Jamaican political rivalry overlapped into Brooklyn. They even managed to smuggle not only drugs but their guns!!!!
Funny how things have turned around. I haven't been to Flatbush in over 10 years, but I have cousins who said most of the places we lived are no longer affordable.

Wow...thanks for the link. I'm hooked on these videos now.
There was a video of a suspected mob hit from 1988 on the block in Bensonhurst I grew up on. Crazy.
I would like to know what became of these cases. Is there public records available? The dates of these incidents were listed. I'm sure researchers can use this information to come to conclusions.
