Shooting...

 

The statistics are grim: 1,480 shootings in New York City, almost double the 748 logged during the same period last year.   

 The city is expected to finish 2020 with a 14-year high in that category of violence, according to Police Commissioner Dermot Shea.

Meanwhile, murders are up 40%, from 312 in 2019 to 436 so far, NYPD records show.

There are names, devasteated families and different ethnicity behind each in this statistics.

Victims range from a 1-year-old boy shot at a barbecue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, a 29-year-old father gunned down as he walked hand-in-hand with his young daughter while crossing a street in Claremont and a 60-year-old woman struck by a stray bullet in Brownsville.

Police commissioner, police unions and lawmakers blame the increase in shootings on bail reform enacted by the state Legislature. 

So, who is shooting who? Not asking for color as the Media always try to make it.

Why is the most restricted gun sales in the country in New York, failed miserably compared to other States where buying gone is legal and easy.

What do you think when you see two people attack a Jewish man for no reason but because he is a Jew? If the attackers thought he has a gun, how would they behave?  Just a thought.
