This is so messed up. If it wasn’t for you guys catching the video live no one would have known what took place in our neighborhood. No corporate “ news” channels gave this any coverage. Like he wasn’t important to somebody out there. I prayed so hard for this person ma
I've been saying the same thing all day. You know for a fact that if this happened in the city or even parts of Brooklyn it would've been all over the news. But for Queens it's nothing especially on this side.
