Cold weather not stopping this madness
@nycedp smh. I was JUST LOOKING AT VEHICLES TODAY ON THE MARKETPLACE.
NYC is on fire; every single second of every day someone gets killed and all the politicians say is let’s say a prayer for their family. I’ve had it. Being American used to stand for fairness and justice, now it’s a joke. When will this craziness end??????
@timetike soon real soon we got less than 10 years
This world is a disgrace. When are we going to come together? The people are trying to kill us and all we got is US ENOUGH ALREADY
@BrooklynUSA wrong.
They going to catch the shooter. He posted the ad on Facebook Marketplace so police should be able to track the IP address he used with a legal order. Even if he used a fake name. So it’s a matter of time before this bearded suspect is arrested. His IP address will lead police right to his doorstep. I hope he’s reading this because “his days of being apprehended are numbered”!
@fast_and_curious the cop days was numbered actually
