NYC CRIME EPIDEMIC: 15 shootings in 15-hour span as gun violence surge continues

11

Why isn’t de Blasio taking this epidemic of violence and death even halfway as seriously he took the the hoax pandemic.

Worse still, he is fueling the crime wave. He defunded the NYPD over $1 billion.

New York City may not be recognizable when Mayor de Blasio’s term is over in 18 months.

NYC sees 15 shootings in 15-hour span as gun violence surge continues

By New York Post, July 12, 2020

New York City’s plague of gun crime continued this weekend — with 15 people shot in the same number of hours since midday Saturday, police sources told The Post.

The shootings — including a 21-year-old man left fighting for his life after being shot in the head while sitting in a car in Sheepshead Bay early Sunday — were more in one day than the whole of the same week last year, sources said.

They capped 43 shootings so far this week — more than triple last year’s tally of 13 for the same period, sources said.

“I had gone to bed early and the next thing I knew I heard two pops out my window that sounded just like fireworks,” a neighbor who identified herself as Lucy said of the Sheepshead Bay shooting.

“Well, I heard plenty of fireworks around here a week ago so I didn’t think anything of it at first until I heard someone screaming,” she said. “The next thing I knew the street was flooded with police lights and ambulance lights.”

In one, a 41-year-old man identified by neighbors as Thomas Gonzalez was shot in the chest in the East Village as at least three people rode up on bicycles — firing a barrage of at least nine shots, sources said.

A neighbor at the Bracetti Plaza on East 4th Street said Gonzales had been visiting family members — and was shot just after 2:30 a.m. as he sat chatting to friends in seats near a kids’ play area.

“He’s a good man. A strong man,” the neighbor said.

Gonzalez was still talking to people after he was hit, and his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening, police sources said.

Early Sunday in Brownsville, meanwhile, a 23-year-old man told cops he was shot in the right leg after accidentally bumping into someone who pulled a gun and started firing, sources said.

In Queens, at least three people were injured after a fight just after midnight in the World’s Fair Marina parking lot in Corona, source say.

A 26-year-old man was hit in the chest and arm and taken by ambulance to Elmhurst Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the sources said. Two others later came on their own to the same hospital — a 38-year-old who was also hit in the chest and a 28-year-old in the arm, the sources said, with both also thought to be non-life-threatening, the sources said.

VOTERS: vote in democrats and this is what you’ll have to look forward to coming to the cities they are put in charge of as they too continue to remove your families protection too.

Dems have turned evil and no longer care about your safety anymore. They want ICE agent’s gone; want open borders; want police cut back or totally eliminated; are emptying prisons with felons being released to return to your neighborhoods; want their illegals to have our benefits and the right to vote.

They all took an oath to protect we the people, yet they’ve sat by and have allowed the Marxists to destroy their own cities, our historical monuments and statutes. Just like DeBlasio now has even more deaths of innocents on his bloody hands. He and other dem mayors and governors have all broken their oaths to we the people and failed to uphold the laws of the land.

VOTE THEM ALL OUT OF POWER and put an end to this anarchy the corrupt dem leadership. Put people in power who will uphold their oaths of office. Nov 3rd.

Seeing what they have to deal with, and they’ve been defunded, the NYPD should all go on strike — and not come back until the *citizens* ask them to.

PLEASE re-consider wording. “Guns” do not cause and are not a form of violence! It is the people who are violent criminals, who illegally use guns…and do not have any regard for “laws”. The term “gun violence” is not appropriate. I have owned over 40 guns spanning 55 years which is over 2200 “gun years” and NOT one of my guns has committed a crime or any violence…and neither has the owner…but I have used a gun 5 times in the 55 years to prevent violence, stop a robbery, and more and never needed to fire a gun once.

New York City black lives are tired of watching Chicago black lives get all the pub for years and years for bloodlust, chaos, mayhem and murder.
How many shootings were black lives shooting at black lives? EVERY ONE OF THEM.

Love Nikki Haley! Just saying.
All these shootings and killings and utter lawlessness sure supports the “defund the police” movement, doesn’t it?
