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’ve never understood why carrying a gun & even killing someone get a lesser sentence than being caught w/ marijuana.
“Wall Street is fucking dead,”
Hey What, Wall Street’s looking very much alive today!
B doesn’t have to explain himself to anyone…complainers are just mascots for this site, like the rest of us.
Everything was/is OK in my life. I saw no need to “Change” my situation. If I moved to a All White KKK city and stared to complain about the “Conditions” or “The Ammeties” they would run me out of town but you fucking retards don’t get it. You think your presence improves a neighborhood??? I have bad news for you IT”S FUCKING OVER!!!! And if you think things are bad now, wait until the Greater Depression hits. Wall Street is fucking dead, Advertising is fucking dead and Mutant Asset Bubble related things are dead also. No money for jails, police and social service will be very bad.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end..

PSYCHOTIC
“Guns aren’t going to be controlled in Albany – but in Richmond Virginia or Washington DC where they seem to think it is okay to flood New York’s streets with cheap guns.”
Putz, you cannot legally buy a handgun in Washington DC unless you are law enforcement.
But he concept is right, they come from VA, TX, GA, etc
He’s the polar opposite of the What, and I think both extremes are harmful to the social fabric in their own ways.

“Of course the What doesn’t want things to change, because that change is a daily reminder that he is powerless to effect his situation.”

I guess that last one was directed at me? What I mean to say is that I do not think Brownstoner is merely an innocent observer of his neighborhood. Of course reducing crime (especially shootings!) is in everyone’s interest. But sometimes he tries to come across as a plain old dad who doesn’t want his kids to get hurt (no harm in that,) I just think he does it to deflect criticism.
The connection to the Flea is that, in my opinion, Brownstoner is trying to make a living by turning FG/CH into a brand that he can profit from. That is very different from engaging with the community as it stands, and working for social change & neighborhood improvements. The change is being imposed on the community whether it’s appropriate or not. He’s the polar opposite of the What, and I think both extremes are harmful to the social fabric in their own ways.
Someone who connects reporting on a school shooting with a flea market needs to explain more coherently what s/he means.
