Thugs armed with an AK-47 settled a nightclub beef by following their victims to a quiet Queens street and spraying their SUV with 63 bullets early yesterday — killing three and wounding another, law-enforcement sources said.

It isn’t the heat. Its the chickens coming back to roost. Maybe if Bloomer’s wasn’t so busy banning big gulps he would pay more attention to what’s going on in his city.

This is what happens when you ban big gulps and slushies.

Bloomberg, the Nanny, is too busy regulating salt and the size of soft drinks to worry about murder committed with outlawed guns. What a dysfunctional city.

One of the victims was shot right out of his shoes, with his barefoot body left on the street.

Undoubtedly, “if obama had a son” the shooters and victims would look like obama. Eric Holder, what are you going to do about “your people?”

No doubt purchased at one of the many unregulated gun shows where people can buy howitzers and nobody is the wiser. You know the ones where there are no background checks on
anything. So has NYC caught up with uncle obie’s beloved chitown yet?

Yet if one neighborhood watch person had challenged these murderers, that person would be the one arrested.

New efforts to ban guns of law abiding citizens coming. Despicable ineffective politicians playing for the camera’s jumping on the easiest way to satisfy the public at large. Ban all guns if you cant get a handle on the illegal ones. This will leave the thug criminals having the only ones. I guess stop and frisk didnt work in this case.

Mrs Doubtberg banned Big Gulps and salt so the criminals will be more svelt and capable of running from the police faster.

Meanwhile, back at the Nuthouse Mrs Doubtberg is working on his latest bans.......knives, forks, toilet paper and air conditioners.
