Just to be clear, these explosives (fireworks) are the latest form of terror inflicted on the people of NYC by leftist domestic terrorists

Woman fatally shot after asking man to stop setting off fireworks
By Tina Moore and Dean Balsamini, New York Post, July 18, 2020 |
A Brooklyn woman was gunned down when she confronted a man setting off illegal fireworks, police sources said Saturday.
Shatavia Walls, 33, who was peppered with gunfire July 7 after asking the man to stop setting off the explosives, died from her injuries Friday night at Brookdale Hospital, the sources said.
Walls was shot eight times at 1259 Loring Ave. in the Pink Houses around 8:30 p.m. Her companion, Kelvin Hernandez, was also struck, the sources said.
Setting off illegal fireworks is a “nonviolent act,” Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams said last month, urging residents to “go talk to the young people or the people on your block who are using fireworks” instead of calling 911 or 311.
Walls made the apparently fatal mistake of telling the man, who remains at large, to cease the pyrotechnics. The suspect left, only to return with a gun, shooting the doomed Walls and Hernandez as they tried to run away, police said.
Adams, who spoke about the fireworks scourge at a news conference last month, insisted Saturday that “the first line of interaction when it comes to non-criminal behaviors should be between neighbors.”
“If a situation escalates to the point where someone is becoming disrespectful or violent, the police should be called,” Adams added. “We can never and will never condone any form of violence. The person who shot Ms. Walls must be found and held criminally responsible. My heart goes out to her and her entire family on this horrific incident.”
Gunfire has exploded across the city after the NYPD disbanded its anti-crime unit of plainclothes cops June 15, with three times as many shootings in the last two weeks of the month over the same period in 2019, police stats show.

NO LIVES MATTER IN NEW YORK!
Except the lives of DeBlazio, Cuomo and their families.
What a contrast to an old Christian song that embraces red, yellow, black, brown and white – Jesus loves the little children of he world. Is it any wonder they HATE Christians with a passion as they push racist Marxism and elevate perversion over what is normal?
Think about it. It is exactly the OPPOSITE of what Bible based Christianity promotes…. It is no coincidence that CHRISTIANITY is the most persecuted religion on this earth and getting worse.

YUP – remember singing it loud in Sunday School growing up.
When older I could still hear the little children singing this loudly from a different part of the church.
HOWEVER
When those Christian older gals retired from teaching Sunday School it ended.
That union of church’s soon went ecumenically socialist…!

“If a situation escalates to the point where someone is becoming disrespectful or violent, the police should be called,” Adams added. Right. Sure. ‘Disrespectful”. Just asking him to stop could be considered disrespectful to him.
Right now its starting to look like a cross between The Purge and Escape From New York. The police are too busy guarding Black Lives Matter painted on the roads. Important departments of the police are being cancelled by virtue signalling DeBlasio. Everyone is starting to understand that there will be little to no consequence for criminal action. The squatters downtown are now virtually taking over and controlling the city.
Let me see, less police, 911 probably overloaded, no street police, no crime suppression units, and the advice is to call the police. Right. As if that makes a difference to the fool with a gun who feels entitled and insulted.
The shooter left. One would have thought it over. No need to call for the police; after all they are already swamped. But he came back and probably unloaded a full clip from a semi-auto handgun within 45 seconds or less. Not enough time to call for the police or even expect them to show up. Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams should take his head out of the clouds and see what is really happening on the ground. But hey, defund (cancel) the police.

Those fireworks were going off every night for about a month and now it’s every two or three nights. They must be running low on them…

” My heart goes out to her and her entire family on this horrific incident.”
But he didn’t retract the statements encouraging home dwellers in the areas to “go talk” to his “non-violent people protesters”, did he…
