This ain’t good. A crappy economy combined with a municipal budget crisis sounds like a recipe for a rise in crime. Sure enough, that’s what’s going on in Brooklyn right now, according to The Daily News. The number of robberies in the 84th Precinct (Downtown Brooklyn and Brooklyn Heights) more than doubled in the first three months of the year. In the 72nd precinct (Windsor Terrace and Sunset Park), burglaries were up 120% in the same period, and in the 67th Precinct (Flatbush) they were up 51%. “You have all these kids hanging out without jobs and it’s combustible; that and a decrease in the number of cops on the streets is a bad combination,” said City Councilwoman Letitia James. “That combination has lead to, and will lead to, an increase in violent crime.” In related news, the man accused of two rapes last month in Bed Stuy and Clinton Hill was taken into custody over the weekend.

The 76th precinct which includes RedHook PROJECTS AND the Gowanus PROJECTS (eeeww scary scary projects) and has consistenly over the decades one of lowest crime rates in NYC – had lower crime rate in 2010 compared to 2009.

I think the increase in burglaries in the 72nd precinct can be chalked up to the crackhead who keeps trying to get into my kitchen windows. I totally need a .45
Pending Home Sales, both MOM and YOY, were well above expectations.
I saw this article which was referenced on news channels. There was a conspicuous absence of any mention of the 88th precinct, where there were 5 shootings in the last two weeksn of March.
Those were my first thoughts when I saw this thread, lechacal.
Wait, what does I-beam have to do with anything? What is that?
i didnt go to harlem yesterday for the annual orphan easter party at my old apartment because the weather was too nice and i am not too ashamed to say that my reason was that i didnt want to get a bullet in the face.
okay, now watch me walk to dean and deluca and get a bullet in my face lol

Someone needs to channel the What on this thread. DIBS, you want to give it a try? Start with building blocks like:
– Assfuck
– I-Beam
– Retards
