NEW YORK, Feb 12 (Reuters) - New York City, once notorious for high crime, broke a record on Thursday with no murders reported for 10 straight days, police said.
The historic calm achieved at 12:01 a.m. Thursday comes on the heels of a notable year - murders in New York City in 2014 fell to an all-time low of 328, the fewest since the New York Police Department started keeping reliable records in 1963.

It’s very true what you say. I find NYC very safe and the murder rate is quite low. I do think, though, that crime tends to plummet in freezing weather. Makes a lot of sense, actually. But you can’t change freepers’ minds about NYC. Sadly, they just hate it.
I have been out west for 38 years. Anything under 40, gives me the shakes : )
Hmm..
Reported.
I have not reported for more than 10 days that I have taken a DeBlazzzzio.
Reported.
I remember NYC in the bad old days. The transformation is nothing short of remarkable.
The population of son-of-Obama lookalikes has decreased there.
It’s well know that “they can’t shoot you in the city.”
. . . has anyone done a headcount in the morgue ?
Yep, 27 bodies and 23 heads just like yesterday.
I'm sure once the snow melts the missing heads will show up.
Snow, cold, nasty weather. It’s along the lines of the old unofficial weather motto for Minot North Dakota: 40 below keeps the riff-raff out.
Will reported as “Increase in murders due to global warming.”
Like any big (and small city) there are neighborhoods and streets that I avoid late at night, if not at all times. But for the most part I feel safer walking the streets of NYC 24/7 than in any other big city (and a lot of small cities) that I have been to in the country. Even the subways that I ride (Manhattan, Brooklyn) are relatively safe. Sure, I need to be alert and street smart, but those are survivor skills that everyone should have.
Peace on earth of no policing for fear of false accusations or being killed as targets?
Did he turn out the lights:)
wait till it gets warmer
