Brooklyn’s joyous West Indian Day Parade erupted into bloodshed Monday, as at least six people were shot along the route, authorities said.

The shots were fired on the 300 block of Eastern Parkway as the colorful celebration of Caribbean life was underway at about 2:35 p.m., police said.

One male victim was shot in the head, while another man was shot in the torso and another was shot in the arm. Yet another was shot in the wrist. A woman was shot in the shoulder and torso. It’s unclear where the fifth and sixth victims were shot, sources said.

From NY Post online:
“I love that everybody from different cultures can come together and celebrate as a single community.”

A “strong police presence” — including screenings via 300 handheld metal detectors — was put in place at Monday’s parade because of past violence at the event, NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey said earlier this week.

At least two people were shot and a third person was slashed in the arm along the West Indian Day parade route last year.

Johnson once asked Forrest where he was shot.

Forrest showed him. "In the Butt tocks."

Diversity....

From Britannica
“The population of the West Indies is ethnically heterogeneous and largely the legacy of an early plantation society based on slave labour. Most of the population is descended from enslaved Africans or from Spanish, French, British, or Dutch colonists or is of mixed ethnicity.”

It’s NYC. This is news? Doesn’t compare with weekend numbers out of Chicago.

Walking down the road
With your pistol in your waist
Johnny you’re too bad

Walking down the road
With your ratchet in your waist
Johnny you’re too bad

You’re just robbing and you’re stabbing and you’re looting and you’re shooting
Now you’re too bad
You’re just robbing and you’re stabbing and you’re looting and you’re shooting
Now you’re too bad

One of these days
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to

One of these days
When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to

You’re gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock
You’re gonna run to the rock for rescue
There will be no rock

Walking down the road
With a pistol in your waist
Johnny, you’re too bad

Walking down the road
With a ratchet in your waist
Johnny you’re too bad

I saw the videos. There was no diversity in that crowd.

These usually happen at post parade neighborhood parties around 2 AM.

“Black on black crime. Nobody cares. Blame the guns.” That summarizes the news coverage, if there is any local news coverage at all.

“Brooklyn’s joyous West Indian Day Parade erupted into bloodshed...”


Nottinghill’s mostly peaceful Carnival was marred by two deaths and several hospitalized...”

What do these ‘celebrations’ have in common even though they are separated by the Atlantic?

I had to look up “joyous” in order to be sure I actually remembered what the word meant.
