They need gun control! That will solve their problems!
Bernie Goetz needs to come out of retirement.
No worries - the folks moving out are demanding more gun control in their new homes, and voting for the radical, brain-dead progressives who’ll give it to them.
But are they shooting the right people?
Trump not providing COVID relief,
I can't stand to listen to Cuomo so didn't know he said that.
Damn, Trump sent them a HUGE hospital ship, built them a hospital on the ground and gave that jackass more ventilators than he could ever use.
I say that slimy Cuomo is vying to replace Biden on the ticket.
Now seems to be a good time to get rid of your enemies, ex wife, or bad neighbors..lol
Trump says stuff that makes black people shoot other black people?
They mis-spelled gang violence in the headline.
And surely there are some statues that could be torn down. That would go a long way to making everyone "feel safe."
Maybe if they defunded the police a bit more?
“”and surely there are some statues that could be torn down. That would go a long way to making everyone “feel safe.””
There you go - see how simple the solution is. Everyone will surely sleep better.
Gangs are fighting for territory now that crime enforcement is non-existent.
"Can you dig it?"
direct consequence of state law prohibiting the use of bail ...
If we only had laws against killing people.....
“Mad” Tim Sullivan’s gun control laws are working as designed, to keep people from defending themselves when they are attacked by NYC gangs.
This is probably the first time in history when a criminal gang got it’s self elected to office so they could disarm innocent civilians and some of the other gangs.
How’d that work out for them!
