Scores of gangbangers marauded through Times Square and nearby streets last night, storming businesses and harrassing pedestrians as three people were shot in possibly related violence. Hundreds of cops struggled to disperse the youths. One man was shot in the ankle on West 41st Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues. Early this morning two people were shot at 34th Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues. Their conditions were not immediately known. Twenty young men were seen fleeing the scene. * * * At least 30 people, including seven juveniles, were arrested by early this morning. In past years, the NYPD and businesses have beefed up security in the area on Easter Sunday, which has become known in certain circles as "Gang Initiation Day."

The Amish culture is very violent, as evidenced in their 'rap' music.

I saw a pic and the cops had one guy and he appeared to be of Hispanic descent. Don’t know about anyone else involved.

OhmiGod! You’re right. I stand corrected. They were only shot.
I take back everything I said.

Add some hookers, pick pockets, aggressive panhandlers and its the good old days.
Not to worry, Bloomberg is going to ban salt and all will be safe.

Most of those involved were black, but I'm sure there were a few Latinos around as well.
Those of us who live here know who is doing the "menacing." Its been the same people for the past 50 years or so.

Bloomingidiot, like most of the Whole Foods crowd are clueless as to how thin the line is between themselves and the barbarians. These smug twentysomethings I see all the time have no idea what is potentially in store for them.

Well, we know they are not white, straight, male, conservative Christians because this fact was not screaming from the headline in large bold font.

Easter Sunday, which has become known in certain circles as “Gang Initiation Day.”
Good grief....I learn something new every day.

According to the article, the local merchants seemed rather satisfied with the police response.
Apparently, for the past 5 years, the sick thugs have turned Easter Sunday night into some sort of gang iniation night, but the police have responded robustly, but had their hands full last night.
Of course, if law abiding citizens were allowed to excercise their 2nd Amendment rights, and carry hand guns, these thugs would behave themselves, knowing their chances of running into someone carrying a concealed weapon is high.
Pretty amazing that 4 people were shot in a “gun free city” last night. I’m sure all the thugs they arrested will do far less time than Plaxico Burress is doing for accidently shooting himself.

Teen unemployment at an alltime high, not that that is an excuse but a likely contributing factor.
Teen un-EDUCATION also at an alltime high. Many of these kids can barely read or write. The dropout rate at many big city school districts is around 50%.

...its the social production of thugs that spawns murderous violence, not the manufacturing production of guns.
That would make a great tagline! May I borrow it sometime?

Are we in for a long-hot summer, circa 1965?I don't think so. It'll probably be closer to '68 in Chicago! All hell broke loose!
