Funny. The article just said they were shot in the 300 block of Eastern Parkway.
They are celebrating diversity.
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.

At least 6 struck in mass shooting along popular West Indian Day Festival parade route in NYC

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.”
All cultures are the same.
Some who just needed target practice?
It’s NYC. This is news? Doesn’t compare with weekend numbers out of Chicago.
“Yeah mon! Dem effa get a beatin’!”
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

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

When you hear a voice say come
Where you gonna run to

I saw the videos. There was no diversity in that crowd.
These usually happen at post parade neighborhood parties around 2 AM.
East Indians getting uppity?
“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...”
What do these ‘celebrations’ have in common even though they are separated by the Atlantic?
Part of the celebration?
I had to look up “joyous” in order to be sure I actually remembered what the word meant.
