It’s heating up out there.

The number of people shot in the city last week jumped nearly 50 percent compared with the same period last year — and a deadly mix of hotter temperatures and fewer stop-and-frisks is to blame, cops said yesterday.

Sixty people were shot in the five boroughs last week — a 46 percent increase over last year’s 41 victims, police said.

And that could just be the beginning, warned one law-enforcement source.

Upstate NY is no different. I live on a high traffic street in Rochester. The ambulance and patrol cars fly by 24x7. 0bama’s sons (Holder’s yoots) + 90 degrees is a recipe for someone to get shot. I hear shootings here are up 65% from the same ytd as last year.

Yep those evil killing Georges's were shooting and killing innocent ferals:

The photo below is a picture of the dangerous weapon Jorge Zimmerman, his head used to attack the innocent feral with.

So...since the city’s Black offspring can not behave like civilized human beings, don’t let anyone under 18 into the pool without a parent accompaning them. One screw up with the parents present, the whole family gets banned from access to the pool.

I always ask liberal gun-gun-grabbing acquaintances, “How many of these shootings involved shooters or hunters who own multiple firearms?”

They tell me I’m racist (Chinese descent) and off-topic. Typical jackwagon response.

If we would just put more money into community centers to keep the youth occupied in the summers, this would not happen. (/s)

Comparing one week with the same week the prior year is statistical idiocy.

IIRC, Chicago is 1/3 the population ,but has 3 times as many gang members.

see what happens when you lose your community organizer?

41/60 = 32% Increase

But let’s not let that get in the way of a good headline.

(60/41)-1 = 46.3% Increase

But let's not let math get in the way of a good rant.

Thanks for the link.

Hopefully the full autospy findings will show that the feral human had been a drug user and a “Lean” user, and the pc DA will allow this data to entered by the defense.

Imagine how much worse it would be without gun control.
