Video at link. I'm holding off on speculating Carlos Ortiz' immigration status, the 48hr rule. But let's just say for all intents and purposes Newburgh, NY has been run like a sanctuary city since Andrew Cuomo's father, il sfaccin Mario Cuomo was Gov.

Odd phrasing.

[dfwgator]

They’re not sending their best.

[Uncle Miltie]

Ortiz

Hathurusinghe

Good olde fashionede Anglo Saxon names.

[Uncle Miltie]

Whoops!

Thought this was Merry Olde England, not New England…

The whole account is weird.

English is clearly not the woman’s first language.

[mewzilla]

Newburgh, NY has been a mess for a very, very long time.

[clee1]

That was my immediate thought as well.

Or “requiring surgery to remove the bullet.”

I usually just pull bullets out with my teeth avoiding the need for surgery.

[Darksheare]

Ah, good old Newburgh.
Home of the 5 dollar hookers, and drug deals in front of the cops.

[Thank You Rush]

“”Odd phrasing.””

It’s all odd - the lady was shot Thursday night, surgery to remove a bullet not until Friday and she says she’s recovering and won’t return to the hospital. Time for ??????

[Deaf Smith]

>>It’s all odd

No charges have been filed against the dead actor.

Such weird reporting. "A woman standing nearby, who identified herself as Chamika Hathurusinghe, was also struck by the gunfire."

Does everything these days require "identified self as..."? But isn't reporterette Blaise Gomez presumptuous writing "the mother"? Shouldn't she have written the "self-identified woman who also self-identifies as a 'mother'"?

I love the polyglot, too. There's a bit of everything here...

• Chamika Hathurusinghe
• St. Luke
• Montefiore
• Blaise Gomez
• Carlos Ortiz
• Newburgh

Newburgh has been a turd-world county for as long as I can remember. The City played a strategic role in the American Revolution, and up until the opening of the Newburgh - Beacon Bridge (I-84 over the Hudson River) in 1963, it was an economic powerhouse.

Now, Newburgh is one of the most dangerous cities in the country. According to Neighborhood Scout, Newburgh has a crime safety rate that is in the bottom five percent of cities nationwide: https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ny/newburgh/crime

Security officer should have used a hollow point.

Hathurusinghe

Its a Sri Lanka surname.
