NYC has a bit to go before it reaches Chicago-level violence, but if it tries hard enough, it will get there.
So sad. I'm sure it will be years before I feel safe enough to back to visit people, and I'm not sure they will make it until I can get back. We are all getting older.

They mis-spelled “gang violence” in the headline.

The number of shootings rose by nearly five timesfrom eight to 38compared to the same dates last year... More BLM signs painted on the streets are needed.

I remember back in the days when I visited NYC there were ironic punk t shirts with menacing letters and a skyline saying Fear City for sale. Not sure if they are still around. Wouldn’t be ironic anymore.

Well, the Mayor solved the robbery problem. He chased everyone with anything to rob out of town.
Now the robbers are so desperate, they are shooting each other.

Nothing says love more than a drive-by shooting.

The BeetleJuice demon governor of Shitcago is NOT impressed.
It will make every effort to make Shitcago’s numbers higher next weekend.
Being outdone by a white male in NYC just doesn’t sit well with BeetleJuice. /s

Thankfully they defunded the police, so that should stop the violence, right. I was told by BLM that the police caused the violence.

Leftist mayors: We have to lock down the city and put everyone out of work to protect the hospitals from getting overwhelmed by COVID!
Also Leftist mayors: Hospitals getting overwhelmed by leftist violence is just democracy in action and must be supported.

In case you're wondering how we got into this mess here in the People's Republic of New York, I give you Governor Andrew Cuomo's explanation:
"Now, the genesis of the crime you can have a great debate about, but the Trump economy, Trump not providing COVID relief, the George Floyd murder, Trumps response to the George Floyd murder, race relations stress, Trump, there are good people on both sides, Ku Klux Klan, Cuomo said of Trump's guilt in the matter. So, I think Trump has some liability for the increase in the crime."
Shameless sfaccimm!

Guns are not violent. People are violent.

It just seems that the “right” 49 people aren’t being shot.
