I must have missed the part of the article where the father was denied a gun?
Also, let’s find out where these assholes got their gun(s). Another case of undocumented sales, not making people accountable for their guns? If you sell a gun, it should be documented. And if it is stolen, you call the police. We do it with cars. Why not guns? We always hear that a car is a dangerous weapon, and it is. You need liability insurance, etc. Well, why not for a gun? Why isn’t a person liable if he sells his gun to a nut without checking his background, etc.?
When my wife worries about our son living in NYC I tell her every other person walking past him on the street is probably an undercover terrorism task force cop. Safer than many cities.
Or, he and his daughter may have been shot and killed. On what planet is it that people are just running around living their daily lives with gun in hand ready for a confrontation? More than likely, if he had a gun he would’ve been shot either reaching for it or shot while attempting to shoot the perpetrators. Most people aren’t Clint Eastwood. Hell, even Clint Eastwood isn’t Clint Eastwood.
Animals do not commit crimes, humans do. I’ll never understand why every time some human commits a horrible crime they are called animals. Animals don’t do that shit, people do.
Oh really. Humans are an abomination on this earth. Animals have been here forever and haven’t fucked up the planet as humans have in the short time they’ve been here.
You, like so many others, seem to be sticking with enabling such behavior. You know, where you come up with all kinds of excuses for criminals and animals, and make it easier for more crimes to occur. Enabling is a sign of real confusion. And as to “rationalization”, my comments are the opposite of that - I call for no rationalization of brutality.
I have learned that if you enable animals by making excuses for animal behavior, you get more and worse behavior.
Tell that to my future son-in-law, who gets called a “faggot” frequently in NYC. He’s a thin kid with a somewhat effeminate appearance, and gets this abuse frequently, from black and spanish men.
Also a NY resident and I say BS. Yeah, this will be on the cover of the NYPost for a year and I have no doubt that half, maybe all, of the Manhattan Institute is working on columns this minute that prove that de Blasio loves rapists. Brownsville (ever been there?) has been a crime-ridden and impoverished neighborhood for years and, unlike the rest of the city, murder has not been decreasing. Overall crime rates have decreased somewhat but murder rates in Brownsville rose significantly under Bloomberg. There are serious, nasty, gang wars there, few good jobs, and many many poor people who have seen things like day care and after-school programs and social services in general decline. De Blasio inherited Brownsville, he didn’t create it. The city (especially under Bloomberg) has dumped one after another homeless shelter and half-way house in Brownsville, cut services, ignored the schools and on and on. (See, for example: http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn/community-activists-furious-homeless-shelter-proposed-east-new-york-article-1.1462936.) Important, useful, projects like the Brownsville Community Justice Center, the Belmont Revitalization Project, and affordable (but middle-class for the neighborhood) housing have received way too little support. (See: http://www.courtinnovation.org/project/brownsville-community-justice-center.)
As for race relations in the city declining under de Blasio . . . well, it’s true that some polling shows that white people in the city, especially after the Eric Gardner protests, think that race relations have declined but I’d argue that stopping stop and frisk has helped significantly with relations between the NYPD and the non-white population who, polling shows, do not see the same drop off in race relations. Crime is still going down in the city, despite every attempt by the NYPost and Co. to claim otherwise and stir up racial violence.
Yes Plucky…perhaps you have never lived adjacent to the Ghetto. I have. Maybe you’ve not lived in NYC…I have. There is, and every Black in those places will tell you, a HUGE problem with a “gangsta” subculture. Which you seem unwilling to recognize because of some goody two shoes above it all shit.
Read the fucking article. A bunch of KIDS gang raped a woman. KIDS buddy fucking KIDS. Where do you think that came from. Get off your high horse and go ask a Black living in Brooklyn and they’ll tell you all about this shit and they sure as hell wont sugar coat it like I did. They have a huge problem. Sure there are racists that point it out for the purpose of denigrating Blacks but the problem is real and your method of pretending it’s not there sure as hell isn’t going to help. Why do folks like Limbaugh ( your choice not mine ) rail about Black on Black crime, astronomical murder rates in the inner city, riots, 25 % of young Black males in prison and so forth? Because the shit’s there clown. Its a fucking HUGE sub cultural problem. And until its addressed, recognized and dealt with more and more folks will be looking for their tear drop tattoo or gang colors at age 12.
BLM claims to care about the plight of Blacks in America. Where are they?
As for your white boys crap. Yes…but there is absolutely no comparison to White vs Black America when per capita violent crime is the subject. Yes white guys rape. Who said they do not? But JFC dude…can you stop with that babyish crap pink tennis shoes and get down to biz. The Black communities across America take this shit seriously and have for a long time.
