Every day the crime reports keep piling into The Jewish Voice.
NYC has not seen this kind of violence in the streets on a daily basis since the 1980’s. Unemployment is high; depression and mental health issues are off the charts, drug abuse, domestic violence, homelessness, Manhattan literally a ghost town; all these factors making this one worst periods in NYC in recent memory.
The corona virus lockdowns combined with the frenzy of violence and disharmony from the BLM protests and leadership who seem more concerned with “defunding the police” than addressing the situation, has created a lethal environment in the big apple.
Zero Hedge reported: The city is fast becoming a war zone now with another deadly subsequent weekend. NYPD sources and local media already count more than 30 people shot this weekend.
This brings NYC to more than 1,000 total shooting incidents across the city year to date, already double all of last year, and the summer is not even over — a summer which ironically has witnessed a supposed heightened consciousness and awareness of police shootings of black Americans given the ongoing George Floyd and Black Lives Matters protests.
A black police officer shot in Queens while looking for a parking spot merely a mile from his home.
And this weekend, according to local PIX11 News:
Citywide, there were at least 25 shootings that injured 31 people on Friday and Saturday, police said. Officers responded to 16 shootings on Saturday and nine on Sunday.
At least three of those shootings happened within just blocks of each other in Coney Island, according to police.
Among these, there were seven deaths between Friday and Sunday morning, according the NYPD, including a 25-year-old mother of three children.
Priscilla Vasquez was described in local reports as shot in the back of the head by an unknown gunman in the early morning hours of Saturday while standing on a sidewalk in front of a public school, just around the corner from her Bronx home.
The Daily News reported: a man in Queens was shot and killed while simply playing in a basketball tournament that was also part of a barbecue at a local park.
Zero Hedge pointed out: Interestingly, news reports accompanying the tragic death actually blame lack of police presence for the violence there. Local residents are reportedly angry that police routinely “stay away” — something, it should be noted, that national BLM protests have demanded all along.
It is vital to repeatedly report, that the intense increase of violence all began after the BLM protests and riots swept the nation, and after the City Council in a move pandering to the radical left Marxists who are BLM and ANTIFA’s back bone, disbanded the plain clothes street crime unit.
