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?

“DIBS, the gun laws in NYC are pretty strict. I think there’s a mandatory 2 year bid for carrying a loaded firearm.”
Wrong 3.5 years in state prison but with the NY State budget short fall they may rescind the time for first time offenders (Putnamdiezen can elaborate). more if you “Bang it” but to a young person 3.5 years is 5 minutes and this law does not stop anyone from carrying a load firearm.
“Of course we want SOME things to be different–are you thrilled with a status quo where kids are shooting each other? or drug dealers doing business in broad daylight?”
Hey Dumbfuck the dealers was there when you brought your house. Everyone was on the fucking corner and people was getting shot on your block! You start a blog moaning and complaining about “Oh the drug dealers” but the Asshats are buying fucking drugs also!!!! You don’t talk about the retards fueling the drug trade around Clinton Hill, HUH!!!!! Fuck you Jon I hope you lose it all..

start the clock at 2000 – it’ll take 25 yrs – 2025 – to see if clinton hill will replicate park slope, or even fort greene, and tons of inherent disadvantages – poor infrastructure relative to other neighborhoods. gentrification is a much longer process than people realize and real estate values got way too high in places that have a long way to go – too far too fast like alot of markets…hold on tight if you bought into the corco hype machine.
I am going to write these people and I hope everyone else does as well. I have talked to a number of neighbors who are also going to write some letters. If enough of us write and make noise about this something is bound to happen. there’s no excuse.

denton, what I’m saying is that the 2 year for carrying should be 10 or more and for actually firing it at someone should be 20-50. These morons aren’t ever going to learn.

Years lived in Brooklyn: Brownstoner 7, The What (Born, raised and will die here)! That’s the difference Iceman! Jon if you would walk out on Fulton St and around the neighborhood I would have a little more respect for you but you post fucking garbage from the comfort of your house. The same thing about the Fulton St. BID Dust up! Did you ask anyone who is opposed to it their side of the story??? No because you want to promote Covert race/class warfare asswipe!

“What would it take to get some real supervision over there? ”
Um, two kids shot may do it.
DIBS, the gun laws in NYC are pretty strict. I think there’s a mandatory 2 year bid for carrying a loaded firearm.
But teens are teens… if the prospect of killing a couple of people and spending the rest of your life in jail doesn’t make u stop and think, it’s unlikely a 2 year bid will.
The problem in FG / CH is that things are so binary. Everybody talks about how “diverse” things are here, but that is really not true on a larger social level. This discussion is a great example.
