Home invasion? Lol. This ain’t the suburbs. Wtf are they stealing ??? Casamigos and a couple gold teeth?
@ReinaM Thank you for the explanation
That seems more than a home invasion - this seems suspicious. To go in guns blazing I’m sorry somethings really off here!
Either it was personal or these people work and they idiots assumed they have cash or valuables lying around.
Thank god law abiding citizens are disarmed in NYC. Wouldn't want home invaders to get hurt.
Isn't it ridiculous? We can't even own a shotgun or rifle. Meanwhile thugs have Uzi's and body armor. NYC has the worst gun laws.
This is why people should at least be able to have guns in their apartments for protection
At least a rifle. I bet there would be far less break-ins in NYC.
