skywatch-franklin-ave-0709.jpgA couple weeks ago we spotted one of the NYPD’s Sky Watch towers at Nostrand and Lexington Avenues. This week, reports I Love Franklin Avenue, one of the anti-crime structures is stationed outside of Nam’s market on Franklin Avenue at St. John’s Place in Crown Heights. According to an officer on the scene, the tower is a response to a “rash of shootings and other crime” in the immediate vicinity. Evidently, this corner is a favorite with some of the local entrepreneurs.

  1. A shooting is not necessarily a homicide though. Apparently there has been a “rash of shootings” in my immediate vicinity of which I have no knowledge.

    The fact that the police are concerned about further repercussions concerns me as well. Not because I think anyone will be coming after me or anyone not involved in the original shootings, but there is always the remote possibility of catching a stray bullet (this actually happened to a friend of a coworker).

    We need some national gun control!
