Come to Long Island and hang with me for a few hours s0n. We can take a 10 minute drive to Little El Salvador....we'll stop at Taco Bell on the way and pick up some spicy burritos just in case. In case you walk out of a 7-Eleven with a pineapple soda and they decide you're going to be a statistic tonight because you're not drinking guava seltzer! Maybe you will offer a gordita and it saves your ass! Or maybe not.... and they decide to do their best Rafael Palmeiro impression and go for the batting title!! Either way.... only 10 minutes to the adventure of a lifetime
Sounds good, I'll hop on a plane.
Meh - Scratch that, chances are, it'd be a lot of work, time & expense to find absolutely squat.
I've had a couple of clients on Long Island.
Used the subway from Times Square after midnight arrival at La Guardia and met some interesting characters but no MS-13.
I found Long Island to be quite civil and upscale.
Thanks anyway though
You idiot....MS-13 is responsible for 40% of all homicides on Long Island. Only a progressive would visit an area once or twice and proclaim to be an expert on crime and the culture in that area.
No link? Hmmm - crime appears to be down my friend.
Crime fell across Long Island in 2017, clocking historically low homicide totals even as police in Nassau and Suffolk attempted to deal with MS-13, the violent street gang officials blame for at least 14 slayings.
There were 22 homicides in Suffolk this year, down from 34 in 2016, and 15 homicides in Nassau, down from 23 — in both cases a decline of some 35 percent, the statistics show. Justin Meyers, assistant police commissioner in Suffolk, said the county’s homicide total is the lowest since 2002, when the department recorded 20 homicides.
Violent crime — which includes homicide, rape and robbery — is down this year 3.4 percent in Nassau as of Dec. 14 when there were 822 violent crimes reported versus the 851 during the same time period in 2016. The number of shooting victims in Nassau has dropped to 29 in 2017 from 52 in 2016, according to statistics.
In Suffolk, the violent-crime drop was 8.3 percent over last year through Dec. 16. The totals of all reported crimes have also dropped this year in both counties: down 7.1 percent over last year in Suffolk and 1 percent in Nassau.
