Teen-on-Teen Shooting on Downing Street
We received a tip—which we’ve since been able to confirm—that there was a double shooting on Saturday night in the schoolyard at PS 56 in Clinton Hill. Evidently there was some kind of gathering (described by one neighbor as “insanely loud”) that had a number of teenagers at it and that at about 8:45 p.m….
We received a tip—which we’ve since been able to confirm—that there was a double shooting on Saturday night in the schoolyard at PS 56 in Clinton Hill. Evidently there was some kind of gathering (described by one neighbor as “insanely loud”) that had a number of teenagers at it and that at about 8:45 p.m. a boy and girl (ages 14 and 15) were shot by another teen who is still at large; neither victim was killed. Unfortunately, there seems to be a incident like this every year around this time. Any other neighbors hear the goings-on or witness the aftermath?

I have to clean coffee off my walls!!!! When Brownie, when… 2006? 2007? early 2008? When..
“The issue at hand is your inability to have a rational discussion about neighborhood issues without immediately hurling accusations of racism.”
It is what it is, stupid. There are some business that need your help on Fulton St, put you money where your mouth is.
Oh I’m sorry there is no “Marauding Teenagers” or “Drug Bars” to talk about…
The What (5 months)
Someday this war is gonna end…
hey brownstner,
you had a thread about instituting moderation of trolls.
(what)ever became of it?
take a look at slashdot. and get a good coder to create something similar.
we wouldnt feed the trolls so much if they were quickly buried.
Mr. B – I don’t think anyone actually takes the What seriously. He’s a monomaniac.
“My view of Brooklyn and the world is very different than your”
Yes, the main difference is that Brownstoner seems to have a happy life and family, and writes this blog not only for curiosity sake but to also make a living, while you seem to have a miserable existence trolling said website 24 hours a day with no goal in sight other than to b&tch and moan.
Your view of Brooklyn sucks, quite frankly.
Now you’re changing the subject. You’ve received plenty of kudos for your take on the housing bubble, including praise from us. The issue at hand is your inability to have a rational discussion about neighborhood issues without immediately hurling accusations of racism.
ut when it is the only prism through which you view every single discussion or issue you encounter, and when you ascribe racist motives to everything and everyone, it becomes hard to take you seriously.
I live in America Brownstoner and no some “Mind utopia” you’ve created for yourself. My view of Brooklyn and the world is very different than your and when everyone was going insane over the Mutant Asset Bubble, I was telling people that it was unstainable and guess what happen, fall ’08 was the first crash and still the idiots was incredulous over that event! The sad thing is the transplants don’t really know “THE REAL NEW YORK” and your delusion is going to get you or someone you know killed. Brownstoner I’m thru disgusting this issue with you and please continue with you insanity. T-Minus 5 months Assholes…

Maybe we should all be good christians & confine our shootings to people in church.
What, (a) that incident took place in Harlem and (b) was widely covered in the mainstream press. Something tells us the PS 56 shooting wasn’t going to make the front page. But this is and excellent example of why some of your rantings are so hard to take. Of course your point (and that of Errol Louis) that our society has been and continues to be biased against people of color is a valid one. But when it is the only prism through which you view every single discussion or issue you encounter, and when you ascribe racist motives to everything and everyone, it becomes hard to take you seriously.
Denton – my reference to DC was (of course) to recent pro-gun ammendments acqueisced to by the democrats at the federal level. And if you find writing “Putnamdenizen” too much, feel free to just call me “Jake.” Putz is uncalled for.
I am shocked, but not surprised, that so many here are willing to reduce the teenagers injured to fodder for their hateful accusations of one another.
