This is getting really old. In what seems to be an annual occurrence, there was another shooting on the corner of Grand and Putnam last night. The 88th Precinct won’t confirm a thing, but according to several people standing around on the corner this morning, a car drove by last night at around 10:30 and sprayed an empty parked car with bullets, and in the process hit a female “innocent bystander” in the leg. She was reportedly not killed but, as the photos show, she lost some blood; as you can also see, a number of bullet holes are visible in the side of the building. As most people in the neighborhood are aware, this corner has been a hotbed of illegal activity for years. Two summers ago, after a young man was murdered for saying something insulting about another man’s girlfriend, the block was put on lock-down for the summer, which did temporarily push the drug activity a block or two away—not exactly an ideal solution for the people who lived on those blocks. In the community meetings that always follow, the police act sympathetic and talk about how difficult it is to put drug dealers away, but at a certain point it all rings hollow. If this were happening on the Upper East Side, you can be sure it would have been shut down long ago.

I love it when I successfully troll the what!!
WOW…you are really on some weird shroons –whatEver
And the grammar and sentence structure has deteriorated way beyond the worst of your father/uncle. Is the What your uncle? Is he the uncle that comes over sometimes when your parents are not home.
Are you The What’s Mini Me???????
Nokilissa, either you are African American or you can’t be voting for Obama. Is this some sort of sick joke? The What said, “Obama is the best candidate we have but, people will not vote for him because he’s BLACK!” And The What is always right. Wait a minute. I’m white and I was planning on voting for him too…what the hell am I thinking?
Dave in BS–
Too late for you or for your home equities.
And arse sniffing wont get you nowheres.
You’re a Hole in the Sky. Done.
Tough day for you lad, and for this wayway overgrilled site…
B’does know the (traffic) truths. And he’ll tell you who’s the Sun.

2:12….dont be an azz.i know they cant fudge a dead body…but i also know they give finals that dont reflect the actual crime.Point is… the desk officer will continue to give the telephone number for headquarters to the 1 or 5 persons who show interest as opposed to at least a group of 50 or more inquiring minds showing up at the pct with a tv crew not far behind.Only then will the pct.commander pay more attention because he doesn’t want his bosses calling.
Posts like this are an archival-worthy snapshot of race in our era. Complicated, frustrating, enraging, impassioned, inspiring and maddening.
Makes me pray, PRAY I tell you, though not a particularly religious soul, that Obama is our next president. I can’t even think about it too much without starting to get frightened about the alternative. And no, Hillary is no longer an alternative.
And I can’t believe 3:02 hasn’t been pummeled by now… Interesting.
As much as I really hate to say this, the what has perhaps made his first sensible, rational, logical and morally sound statements in well over the past nine months. Well, maybe 2 out of the 4 above. The meds are working.
Work on the spelling now.
“Well in one instant i do know that a dealer has link to the 88th and kickbacks are definitely exchanged-how can we fight that?”
Call the DAs office with that accusation.
“Actually, as recent events have shown, the cop doesn’t have to be white, the dead person just has to be black. Doesn’t even matter if he was busy at a known drug-ridden strip club with his ex-con boys hours before finally getting around to marrying his baby momma since she’d popped out his second kid.”
Ok, the Cops shot a UNAMED man. The man background is not justification for this horrible act. Plus people git the balls to call me racist?!
“3:00 – Those Section 8 lifers arent leaving – in fact more are coming – that is courtesy of (soon-to-be-running-for-boro-president) Warren Wilhem (now known as) Bill DiBlasio!
As of March 2008 Mr Diblasio (name changed for electibility)muscled through a bill (over Bloombergs) veto, that made it ILLEGAL to refuse to rent to tenants with Section 8 vouchers.”
Ok one and for all! There are many people are receiving some form of assistance. What the ^%$$ you think J-51 and 421A is???!!!! And the big tax breaks developers get to build BS new condo construction!!! But you want to put a black face on something when it’s bad and a white one when it’s good, Please!
“Oh man, I can’t believe I missed this fun thread!
Crime is easy to stop. All you have to do is have blood guilt laws and capital punishment.
When parents are executed for the crimes of their children (and maybe even the reverse!), you’ll see crime disappear overnight.”
Like the biggest Mutant Real Estate Bubble in history. The fraud into Mortgage Back Securities, huh? The upcoming depression, huh. The violation of the Constitution in the illegal war in Iraq, huh? You are a F^&&* idiot!!!
“It’s a shame…I live and walk pass there all the time. It’s a very shady corner and they need to empty that building at the corner and make it condos.
A ClintonHillLady”
I rest my case.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
