@zFlxmezz NYC is dead until people wake up and elect the right people and get the right laws passed. Keep voting democrat lol see where it gets you in a a few years

joeann12May 21 at 10:45 PM

They same way people protest against police brutality. Use that same energy to protest against the violence in NYC. People need to start turning these people in. The law should not only go after the criminals aggressively but those who assist them. If they live in your house a jail cell should be waiting for you too. Enough with playing dumb.

Start holding parents accountable and bring back mandatory sentences for gun charges. You'll see how quickly things change. We just witness a teenager who shot a police officer walk free, you can't even be a working person in this city without being a victim to these animals.
