Shootings up 154% in NY with OWS

[teapartysamurai]

Bullets are flying over Broadway -- and everywhere else in the city.
The number of people shot surged 154 percent two weeks ago -- to 56 from 22 over the same week last year -- and spiked 28 percent in the last month.

Last week tallied another increase in victims -- 22 people had been hit through Friday, including the three victims gunned down outside a Brooklyn school Friday.

Last year, only 17 shooting victims were logged for the entire week.
The recent gunplay has now pushed the number of shooting victims this year slightly above last year’s tragic tally -- to 1,484 from 1,451 -- through Oct. 16.

Four high-ranking cops point the finger at Occupy Wall Street protesters, saying their rallies pull special crime-fighting units away from the hot zones where they’re needed.

Since Occupy Wall Street took over Zuccotti Park on Sept. 17, the NYPD has relied heavily on its borough task forces, the department’s go-to teams for rowdy crowds.

But such protest duty takes the special units away from their regular jobs -- patrolling public housing and problem spots and staking out nightclubs plagued by violence, supervisors said.

Any protests that last this damn long are just plain fucking STUPID!

People need to go the hell home. If they haven't had an impact by this time, they're not going to.

Fucking MORONS.

Im sure criminals with legal gun permits are taking advantage of the unsuspecting crowds that are not familiar with NYC as well as lack of presence and I'm sure the cops will be bashed over their statement, but biden can blame those not for the second stimulus for a possible rise in rape murder ... here comes yet another double standard

Maybe the cops should stop considering that protestors are criminals.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Where's Joe Biden?

Why isn't he blaming OWS for the shootings?

 

[teapartysamurai]

Really hitting the bottom of the barrel huh.

Yeah, I mean the only way I could climb my way out is if I made up some smear about the Tea Party!

So, then to your reasoning, all the shootings are legal??????

 

[teapartysamurai]

Or the rapes that have happened.

Seems he's only interested in that, if it has to do with the "jobs" bill.

Maybe the cops should stop considering that protestors are criminals.

Maybe because protests must be policed. Because otherwise they tend to get out of control and people get hurt. And if that happened, people would be screaming 'where were the police?'

As an aside, could you resize that pic in your sig? It's annoyingly large.

Illegal guns were at one time legally purchased by some one, and the people getting shot are in neighborhoods far away from the OWS area.

What they want is to never have to work, and have other people support them.

And they think if they sit forever on those side walks essentially holding thier breath until they turn blue (like some toddler at Walmart, throwing a tantrum, because he didn't get a toy) is going to work???????

DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are getting shot because the police are having to use resources for the OWS instead of being in those neighborhoods!

How obtuse to the obvious can you be?

Getting your info from only right wing propaganda sources leaves you very ill informed.

NYC has basically a whole military division size police department, plenty of cops to go around, and police do not prevent shootings they show up after the fact and search for who did it. Your ignorance is blinding and stupendous and it is obvious you know nothing about NYC.
