Gunfire at a backyard party killed two people and wounded 14 others early Saturday in Rochester, New York, a city that has been roiled in recent weeks by outrage over the suffocation death of Daniel Prude.
A man and woman, estimated to be in their late teens or early 20s, were killed, Simmons said. None of the wounded people were believed to have life-threatening injuries. They were being treated at two area hospitals.

The acting chief said no suspects were in custody, but there was no reason to believe the neighborhood was unsafe.

"A man and woman, estimated to be in their late teens or early 20s, were killed, Simmons said. Their names weren’t immediately released."

I wonder why no names were released?

Are they from the "Dindu nuffin" community?

[gunnut]

More COVID deaths to add to the count.

Note to self: No more ‘partying’ in Rochester!

Officers responding to calls of shots fired found “approximately 100 people” running from the scene, Simmons said. Before the call, police were not aware of the party and had received no complaints about noise, he said.

Prolly some Karen saving everyone from the COVID

I hope the cops responded to 911 by saying we will check on it when the sun comes up. We don’t want to get blamed for the deaths.

“Are they from the “Dindu nuffin” community?”

Now they’re in the “Ain’tgonnadu nuffin no mo’” community.

I can't tell you how many times gunfire happened at the parties I attended back in the day.

Why just last year at the Christmas Party this gun just started firing.....

but there was no reason to believe the neighborhood was unsafe.

LOL! I think 2 dead and fourteen wounded might belie that claim!

I’d been reading all this stuff about Rochester, and I laugh at the ads the city has been playing on the radio around here about how friendly it is to high tech companies, and that they can make over a million dollars more a year there than if they locate in Boston or NYC.

Growing up in Upstate NY gunfire was not unusual. But it wasn’t people getting shot but whatever was in season. Or varmints.

A search on the above will link one to another instance of Rochester's history of racial conflict.

There was a massive riot that shut down the inner city for days in 1964 (click here), calling out police and city fire companies, and I was active member of a volunteer fire company of those responding to the riots.

The race issues at stake were supposed to have been passivated by city government and business response to those issues at the time. It is my belief that the precipitous growth of the black segment in the northern cities in the 1950s-60s can be attributed to the wisdom of cany southern administraors shelling out for a one-timebus ticket north for their disgruntled aggrieved troublesome agitators and their families to the northern cities where they could immediately enroll in the liberal welfare free-lunch-and-housing programs conceived by the more citified do-gooder Democrats, a situation where these permanently displaced migrants could concentrate in numbers, not being prone to take themselves out into the surrounding more conservative suburb/rural communities that demanded a work ethic to obtain food and shelter.

I myself was born and raised in semi-rural viilages of Western New York State, a Methodist preacher's kid who had to get used to pulling up roots and moving every few years, sort of like a military brat. Actually of those years I spent eleven of them living in or very near Rochester. Another six years involved living in Syracuse or Buffalo.

I spent a lot of time visiting my grandparents, who sere dairy farmers in the Southern Tier, along the border with Pennsylvania. So I am well acquainted with both the rural and urban facet of life in New York.

The dynamic of the BLM/Antifa is based on an unwillingness of citified to disperse out of the abnormal urban free-lunch environment and be diluted into the general small-town or rural northern predominantly Caucasian areas where the dynamic is to work for living and save for the future, a necessarily conservative approach that is the only sane rule for living without friction with the community.

That's the way I see it, after some eighty years of personal observation.

Forgot to ping you before posting, sorry; had you in mind all along.

When that party so lit u just gotta bust some caps.

Rochester is one of my least favorite places to visit in the USA
I've been in the city maybe twice in the last ten years, and then only to run a 10K for St Pat's Day - lots of people.

Maybe 15 years ago, the city bought a ferry to cross Lake Ontario between the city and Toronto. Mayor said Canadians would loooove visiting the city.
The Toronto newspaper sent a reporter over to look at the city and wrote a SCATHING article, something like -"Are you $hittin' me?"
Within a year or two it was a bust and the city sold the ferry ... losing $10 million.

The illegal mass gathering had 100 people at it before the shooting started.
And nobody narked to the cops. Not a single neighbor. Go figure.

Some animals are more equal than others. (So much for equal justice under law.)

Police: 2 dead, 14 wounded at mostly peaceful party in Rochester, New York

Fixed it.

[RipSawyer]

There were only two dead and fourteen wounded at a big house party with maybe a hundred people there. C’mon man. Don’t make a big deal out of a little scuffle just because it sounds like the gunfight at the Golden Corral. These people just need a little social distancing, they’re under pressure from climate change, somebody probably tried to exert some white privilege. It will settle down as soon as the Harris administration is elected.

The last time we were up there the place looked like a ghetto...then I realized, it was.
