Born in Rochester c 1940. It went downhill in the 70’s. Had a great youth in a great school....Downtown, the Goodie Shop, the Palace Theatre, Ontario Beach, Sea Breeze and fishing in the Bay. Plenty to do.

Seven people were murdered over three recent days, with three of those homicides coming after the imposition of a “state of emergency” by the city and state.

That hardly makes Rochester "America's murder capital."

Because the first step to protecting black civil rights is protecting black lives.

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Democrats don't protect black lives in the womb. They don't protect black lives in the schools. They don't protect black lives in the streets. They don't protect black lives in the trap houses.

AND I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE RACIST???

It's all a bunch of [long string of disgusting but nevertheless accurate expletives]

"Laws for thee but not for me." Rochester anti-gun rights Mayor Lovely Warren and her husband Timothy Granison made a plea deal for their crimes and are laughing at the little people mourning their dead.

The NY State Police raided the home of Mayor Lovely Warren and her husband Timothy Granison in connection with a seven-month-long drug investigation after Granison was pulled over with a large quantity of cocaine in his possession. The State Police found more cocaine and $100,000 cash as well as an unregistered handgun in the house.

Sorry to say this city is like all other cities in the USA. Run by Democrats who don’t care about the people. Only POWER! I wanted to leave this area this year, but health issue arose. Preparing my home now to leave in 2022! Florida here I come!

Rochester in the 1950s was a decent, if uninteresting city. What changed? (Rhetorical question)

Rochester’s city center was frozen in time in about 1968, then taken over by bureaucratic welfare democrats. They proceeded to build welfare plantations (now refugee camps) on nearly all neighborhoods surrounding downtown.

Its one of the most depressing places in America.

At this point, the only hope is snow. Bad weather pushes victims and criminals off the streets, reducing the number of targets of opportunity, and making drive-by shootings harder.

That’s one of the most pathetic things I have ever read.

That this country has been emasculated to the point where the only hope to cure violence and stop murders is the weather, is such an indictment on Democrat policies.

The thing that’s going to stop this is enforcing the law and armed citizens who can shoot back and kill the murderous thugs.

Since so much crime is repeat offenders, attrition is the only way to deal with them. Jail isn’t going to work. The solution needs to be permanent.

Update...

https://www.rochesterfirst.com/crime/heavy-police-presence-on-indiana-street-in-rochester/

Because there were four people shot, one died.

But this mass shooting is not making big headlines in NYS or anywhere else.

Gee, I wonder why..? 🤔
