Nothing close to the horror stories I’ve heard longtime NYers talk about, though.

No, I grew up in DC. But yes, de Blasio was an idiot.

Oh right, you said that before re: DC.

28 people have been taken to the hospital as of now. 10 shot.

I rode those trains everyday in Brooklyn for years. Ugh.

Same. In fact, I once shared an apartment not long from where the shooting took place. I have my own thoughts on this tragic event but I don’t want to put that theory out there, I just want them to get to the bottom of this. With all the funding NYC puts into policing, they’d better find the person. 
Hopefully all the victims will be alright.

Frank James is in custody.

 

Thank god.

He was just walking around in plain view. CNN Shimon ProKupecz alerted authorities. Some guy recognized him and took pics with him and showed them to Shimon.

NYCers don’t play, especially since 9/11. 

He migrated from Syria five years ago. Give that man his award.

Not so fast.  I predict that, by the end of the week, the media will dig up some heinous [!@#$%^&*] on him.

What?!

Sigh.

I guess the COVID pandemic is officially over.

COVID-19 is definitely not done with everybody though, especially since hearing of yet another variant, but alas the shootings proliferate anew.

Two minors were killed and at least nine more people wounded in a shooting at a house party in Pittsburgh early Sunday, police said. The shooting happened around 12:30 a.m. at a short-term rental property where there were more than 200 people inside. https://t.co/f4yCZBGLB8

This thread is clearly going to be evergreen.  These lone shooters are one thing, but when you get two or three working together, it's even more disturbing to me.
