New York City sees surge in murders, burglaries, NYPD says By Nick Givas | Fox News Crime statistics released by the New York Police Department (NYPD) on Thursday showed a rise in the city's murder rate during the month of May, as protests and riots continued following the death of George Floyd. The numbers showed that murders in the city had increased by 79 percent, CBS 2 reported. Shootings went up by 64 percent and burglaries reportedly rose by 34 percent. The NYPD said it will have hundreds of officers patrolling the streets this summer, specifically in neighborhoods that have seen a spike in violent crime. https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-york-city-sees-surge-in-murders-burglaries-nypd-says String of Friday shootings hit City of Rochester Patrick MoussignacUpdated: June 19, 2020 11:09 PM Created: June 19, 2020 10:15 PM ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — Rochester Police are asking for the public's help to catch the people who are responsible for several different shootings. They know someone has information that could lead to an arrest. Around 2 p.m. Friday, police responded to Bardin and Minder Streets after a man now identified as 31-year old Parris Washington was found shot to death behind a house. Grieving family and friends gathered at the scene. One man who lived around the corner and who only wanted to be identified as "Greg" told News10NBC what he heard. "When I was on the porch listening to music, I hear a lot of fireworks, but that was unusual that they were not fireworks. It was a pop, pop," said Greg. https://www.whec.com/rochester-new-york-news/string-of-friday-shootings-hit-city-of-rochester/5765555/?cat=565 2 1

It's racist, not to see race, gender, sexuality, etc. People need their oppression points. Life as part of the perpetually aggrieved must be really sad, lonely, and completely devoid of any joy. 4

SoCal Deek Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 All of this is nothing more than election year fodder. I rarely agree with Sean Hannity but on this he’s correct. Every four years they trot out the same crap to get people thinking they’re being oppressed so they can keep their voters in line. It happens like clockwork. And it must work or they wouldn’t keep doing it! But, I’ve got to wonder where all of this systemic outrage was for the last three years when everyone had a job and had to get up and go to work in the morning? BLM was back in its shell waiting like the locusts to emerge from the ground and consume all of the crops in the field. 2

Chef Jim Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 23 hours ago, billsfan1959 said: The saddest part of all is that the people who are screaming the loudest are the very people who who never want to substantively discuss real solutions and benefit the most from keeping things exactly as they are. The citizens living in black communities overrun by violent crime, poverty, lack of ownership, lack of employment, and lack of hope should be angry right now - just not for the reasons pushed by those with agendas. And the people in these areas are electing the same people over and over and over again. The definition of insanity. 1

Anyway. A little before my time but I don't recall my elders saying that groups organized by ethnicity were strongly insulated. In most towns in WNY there were communities within communities. The Irish, Italians, Poles, etc. worked in the shops and factories owned by English, Dutch, or German originated people. These workers in turn used their paychecks to support others of their respective backgrounds via tailors, butchers, small markets, repair shops, etc. It was not a matter of dislike that the Irish did not go to the Italian tailor but that there was an Irish tailor who could really use the business of his fellow Irishmen. Sure, some people disliked outsiders to varying degrees but for most it was about supporting a community with a common background. Of course this started to fade away after WWII as smaller manufacturing gave way to the corporations and retailing meant national suppliers such as A & P for groceries for example.

We can agree to disagree, and honestly I was speaking more to metropolitan areas in general than WNY. My dad told stories of being mocked as a catlicker by non-catlickers, my father-in-law spoke of attitudes toward Italians where he grew up (every successful Italian man at some point gets the "you with the mob" comment), and so on. Black Irish, Lace Irish, Shanty Irish, *****, *****, pollock etc all came from somewhere, and have been around a long long time. Each group is guilty, each group has been victimized. With luck, we keep moving forward. 1

mead107 Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Subject: To the NFL and its players, I have no idea who put the following piece together, but I will go on record supporting its message. If I have brain cancer, I don’t ask my dentist what I should do. If my car has a problem, I don’t seek help from a plumber! Why do you think the public cares what a football player thinks about politics? If we want to know about football, then depending on the information we seek, we might consult with you, but even a quarterback doesn’t seek advice on playing his position from a defensive tackle! You seem to have this over inflated view of yourselves, thinking because you enjoy working on such a large scale stage, that somehow your opinion about everything matters. The NFL realizes the importance of its “image” so it has rules that specify the clothes and insignia you can wear, the language you use, and your “antics” after a touchdown or other “great” play. But somehow you and your employer don’t seem to care that you disgrace the entire nation and its 320 million people in the eyes of the world by publicly disrespecting this country, its flag, and its anthem! The taxpaying citizens of this country subsidize your plush work environments, yet you choose to use those venues to openly offend those very citizens. Do you even understand what the flag of this country means to so many of its citizens before you choose to “take a knee” in protest of this “country" during our national anthem? You may think because you are paid so much that your job is tough, but you are clueless when it comes to tough. Let me show you those whose job is really tough. You are spoiled babies who stand around and have staff squirt Gatorade in your mouths, sit in front of misting cooling fans when it’s warm, and sit on heated benches when it's cold. That’s not “tough” that's pampered. You think that you deserve to be paid excessively high salaries, because you play a “dangerous" game where you can incur career ending injuries. THESE are career ending injuries! You think you that you deserve immediate medical attention and the best medical facilities and doctors when injured. Let me show you what it’s like for those who really need and deserve medical attention. You think you have the right to disrespect the flag of the United States, the one our veterans fought for, risked limbs and mental stability to defend, in many cases died for. Here’s what our flag means to them, their families, and their friends. You believe you are our heroes, when in reality you are nothing but overpaid entertainers, who exist solely for our enjoyment! Well, your current antics are neither entertaining nor enjoyable, but rather a disgrace to this country, its citizens, all our veterans and their families, and the sacrifices they have made to ensure this country remains free. You choose to openly disgrace this country in the eyes of the rest of the world, yet with all your money, still choose to live here rather than in any other country. People with even the slightest amount of “Class” will stand and respect our flag. Where does that put you? You want to see heroes… here are this countries heroes! You can protest policies, the current government, or anything else you choose, that is your right. But when you “protest” our flag and anthem, you are insulting the nation we all live in and love, and all those who have served, been injured, or died to keep it free. There is nothing you can do or say that can make your actions anything more than the arrogance of classless people, who care about themselves more than our country or the freedoms for which our veterans and their families have sacrificed so much, to ensure you have the “right” to speak freely. Our country is far from perfect, but if you can point to any other country where your freedom and opportunities are better than they are here, then you just might want to go there and show respect for their flag! If you respect America and all those who have sacrificed so much to keep her free, please forward this to your friends and relatives. Eventually, it should end up in the mailboxes of those who choose to disrespect our country, its service members, our veterans, their families, and all of us who appreciate the freedoms America represents 4 1

They didn't fight and in some cases die for a flag. They fought to protect freedom. Freedom to do what you want even of its not popular as long as its not ilegal. Like kneeling for the national anthem for example. Edited June 22, 2020 by reddogblitz
