Slayings soar as city hits boiling point (Bloody streets return to NYC)
NY Post ^ | July 8, 2012 | REBECCA HARSHBARGER and ISABEL VINCENT

New York City’s homicide rate is rising as fast as its sweltering temperatures.

There have been a staggering 16 murders in the past five days — including seven since Friday night. They have claimed a variety of victims, including children, clubgoers, a shopkeeper and a husband.

Thugs armed with an AK-47 settled a nightclub beef by following their victims to a quiet Queens street and spraying their SUV with 63 bullets early yesterday — killing three and wounding another, law-enforcement sources said.

Ok, lets see...
“brutal slayings were caused by a “fight over a girl” and a “look”
One “victim” had twin 2 yr. olds and an 11 year old and loved his kids.
The other “victim” was Jamaican born “salesman” - also a loving father.
Doesn’t make mention of the respective wives. Presumably they were at church preparing a bake sale.
A 9mm was also involved so it wasn’t just the AK’s fault.
63 shots - could have been an accident.

As the Bloody Mayor actions dictate....
“If one takes care of the little things like sugared drinks, the murderers will take care of each other.”

And all is Obama in Liberal New York City.

Society is still wondering why our jails hold a disproportionate number of colored prisoners.

Meanwhile, the cops’ attention is more focused on people dancing on subway platforms.

could have been a 75 round drum or even a 100 round drum

...or, more likely, more than one weapon.

Heat? They’re killing each other because they’re hot?

Didn’t we just pass the ACA (Air Conditioning for All) bill?

There must be some other underlying problem that we need to spend billions on!

Thugs armed with an AK-47

2,000 AK's is what Eric Holder unleashed on Mexican cartels. NOT ONE was recovered except from crime scenes - 5 of which have already involved murders. They could be anywhere by now, including in this crime. Do you think for a minute the gov't will tell us if it is?

“Jaime was a good father,” said Katie Bussereth. “He loved his kids more than anything. He was always there for his kids. Everyone is so distraught.”

If he was such a good father, ("always there for his kids"), why was he out partying until 5 a.m.??

Harkins back to old Abe Beam.....city went broke and he went hat in hand to anyone to bail them out.
If democrats were in charge of a desert, they would run out of sand.
