NYC's Weekend Homicide Count Spikes Sharply

Just a couple of weeks ago there was a story posted here indicating that the NYPD's crime statistics are utterly fraudulent. What's happening here is that you're starting to see violent crimes committed in broad daylight and/or in busy areas of Manhattan, in front of numerous witnesses -- and these crimes can't be swept under the rug very easily.

It's also worth noting that New York City's violent crime problem is directly attributable to a decline in police activity across the river in New Jersey. The New Jersey State Police stopped making random vehicle stops on I-95 a couple of years ago in light of all the idiotic "racial profiling" accusations they faced, and violent crime in northern New Jersey and New York City has escalated ever since.

It's gotten to the point where a black motorist from South Carolina could drive up the New Jersey Turnpike in a pickup truck full of RPGs, and nobody is going to do anything about it.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New York City: "There's too many guns on the street. And people use guns. Guns have one purpose, it is to kill people. There is no reason to have a gun."

Good thing they got him speaking at the GOP convention, eh?
