It was a block party that had started in the afternoon. There were some gun shots reported (shooting in air? was it fireworks? )
I'm reading that there were shell casings found there. So actual shots, not fireworks. How is that not a reason to feel afraid? I don't know anyone who says to themselves "soo, I'm going to a party, maybe I'll get shot at but that's cool with me!" or better yet "soo, I'm walking past a party, maybe I'll get some stray bullets but I'm bulletproof so whatevs"
Lol. It was a bunch of dorks having a party. Tonight is dead. The cops already picked up three of the bottle tossers caught on cam. The gun shots were from tough guys shooting in the air. Just like the white boys do in Texas every day.
Link?
I guess white boys also shoot children everyday in their neighborhood too.
Why don't you care about black children getting shot? These are actual children. How racist is it to just dismiss dead black children and adults? This is actual racism IMO. Just saying "whatever" when black people die at the hand of other black people.
Saying "all lives matter" is not racist.
But you know... Nothing makes sense anymore.
I'll just quietly feel sad and angry about death in black neighborhoods while many here would accuse me of being "fake" about it. Ok whatever.
When my people die on a daily basis for nonsense, I will always be sad about it.
Under the Dinkins administration, crime in New York City decreased more dramatically and more rapidly than at any time in previous New York City history.
(David Dinkins January 1, 1990 – December 31, 1993)
7.1 Introduction
According to NYPD statistics, crime in New York City took a downturn
starting around 1990 that continued for many years, shattering all the city's
old records for consecutive-year declines in crime rates. To verify the declines, this study obtained New York City crime data from sources independent of the NYPD, principally the National Crime Victimisation Survey.
Independent data largely corroborate the NYPD statistics.
Excerpt: crime in New York City decreased
Response:
This is an example of cherry picking.
A graph showing a reduction in the murder rate and then followed by a posting of overall drop in crime.
This does not encompass the entire data. It does not include burglary,assault,rape among many other
types of crimes and quality of life issues. Please gather all your facts and put them in perspective...
otherwise Mayor DeBalsio will go down as the greatest mayor on fighting crime in New York City.....NOT!
I understand you think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread but he's not coming back
You do know that right
Excerpt: he's not coming back
You do know that right
Response: Absolutely.
You need either a paramilitary enforcer to stop violence immediately or a jobs creator to put
people to work immediately for crime to drop. Feds can start by bringing back jobs from China............

Bringing back what types of jobs from China? There is nothing to bring back. USA does not manufacture anything anymore and this is why we are in the position we are in. Do you have any idea how hard it is to make a normal purchase on Amazon without the seller being from China?
But, the reason the USA can't bring manufacturing back is because they can't combat pollution effectively. Look at China's pollution problems. You really want crime to drop then you bring manufacturing back to the USA.

This is basically a hostile takeover. The cops shouldn't bother rushing to scenes in these neighborhoods.
