Title: Violent Crime and Shootings UP in NYC
Post by: twyacht on April 12, 2010, 08:18:23 PM
But I thought Bloomberg's "anti gun" philosophy would make crime go down? :-\

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/12/nyregion/12police.html

Homicides are up nearly 22 percent in 2010, compared with the same period last year. Shootings are up in the city, to 293 from 257, a 14 percent increase. And there are more victims of gunfire: 351 through April 4, up from 318 in the same period a year ago.

But it is not statistics, but rather the tenor and pace of 2010’s spasm of disorder that are suggestive of a bygone era, and have again raised questions about whether New York City is finally at the end of crime declines.


I'm stunned a gun restrictive town, has increases in crime.

And meatheads like TAB STILL don't get it.

30% decrease in the murder rate in the year since Heller passed and the city was forced to comply.

All that's needed are "Gun Free Zone" signs and problem solved.

Too bad Sky Writers went out of fashion...they could just put one big sign over the whole city.
