The city is also ordering the closure of Cafe Hollywood on Lark Street after a number of police calls.

That order was signed late Friday, with Mayor Sheehan noting a 22% increase in the number of shots fired incidents in the past 28 days compared to the same time last year.

Dem cities are witnessing skyrocketing crime, not just gun violence. The average Joe reading the paper is aware of spiraling out of control crime - in DEM cities. This issue alone will turn the 2022 elections. Not to mention inflation, gas prices, open borders, demented residents, cackling unlikeable Kamala, lying Jen...

Violence period; guns are just a political issue. More people are killed by other means than guns. Guns just make it more convenient.

We are of course talking about feral negro violence, not “gun violence”.

If only New York had sensible gun control laws… oh wait… it has some of the most stringent laws on the books.

If only there was some way to enforce those laws… like police or something…

But now you see the communist control kicking in. They’ll just shut down businesses that are “problematic” by emergency order.

Totalitarian oppression.

Reporters no longer can write. Yes, it’s not “gun” violence, it’s Black on Black violence.

defund police, crime rises- then go after guns, blaming the ‘crisis’ on the guns, and also go after law abiding citizens-

Typical scam by the left-

Somehow we expect the same people who don’t care about our voting rights to care about our gun rights, or even our human rights, such as the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

[[But now you see the communist control kicking in. They’ll just shut down businesses that are “problematic” by emergency order.]]

And ban guns, claiming that they are ‘too dangerous to own during a crisis’ (Hence the reason for the crisis declaration which will NEVER be lifted once declared)

Next step is to make anyone owning guns wear masks, put bright yellow star on their chests and tattoo their forearms. Then, for those owning AR-15s, you have to wear a target on your back.

A total of 365 results found. Albany, NY is ranked #358 with the Crime Index of 2,962

So only about 7 cities more dangerous than Albany, The CAPITAL of the state, how welcoming. Ass the 3 cities in the "Capital District - Albany Schenectady and Troy, all near the top in crime states, it's not a good place. All 3 cities are run by, yep, Democrats.

358 out of 365.

What? Are they importing BLMers to drive the crime rates that high?

Amazing.
