NYC man out on bail walks up to 13-year-old boy, shoots him the neck: ‘Should not have happened’ (illegal, drug)

Almost everyday another innocent victim of the lunatic catch and release practices from coast to coast.

God help us all.

A New York City man, who was out on parole for a prior gun-related conviction, on Tuesday walked up to a 13-year-old boy on his way to school and shot him in the neck, authorities said.

Hubert Wiggs, 36, was not only out on parole for a 2010 firearms and illegal drug conviction, but he was also out on bail for possession of an illegal firearm in 2019, NYPD Assistant Chief Kenneth Lehr said Tuesday during a presser following the incident.

Oh my! Poor kid

Is "possession of an illegal firearm" even a real crime in most states?

I think it is about time that New York City founds a Committee of Vigilance. Other cites (Chicago? San Francisco?) might follow suit. The People are not being served.

Only if you are white, apparently.

If it is an "illegal fireman" it is probably illegal in most, if not every state, or illegal by federal statute.

Who shoots a kid? And if its a random kid, even worse.

I think they meant "illegal possession of a firearm" because he's a felon and on parole. That's against the law almost everywhere.

In NYC cant really have a gun period. NYPD makes up all caveats so its in practice impossible to own gun. They arguing that in Supreme Court now.
