Nope,never said you did. All I was saying is that *I*,at least,am reluctant to use the word “stupid”.
[I’m the biggest coward on earth and I’m no expert on NYC but to me any part of Manhattan that’s north of 110th Street is “a bad part of town”...particularly after dark. ]
Especially in a Harlem park
Maybe phone records will tell. It's not like a marijuana hit is urgent.
So if she was out to buy some boo that exonerates the kiddies who killed her?
No park in New York City is nice or safe after dark. Because it is right across from the dorms, criminals probably know that the college kids go there after dark. Criminals watch people and places. They stake out sites to see if they can use them to commit their criminal acts. I guess I have a biased opinion on things when it comes to safety and security because I worked in uniform in NY State’s prison system for 25 years. As rookies we were told: Criminals/inmates have 24 hours a day to think of illegal things to do. They’ll scope you out...watch your movements, look for vulnerabilities. Be aware and alert at all times where you are, and who is around you. I’ve been retired for 16 years, and that sense of security has never left me. It’s sad that so many people have no idea how easy it is to become a victim.
One article I read said she was attacked just before 7 p.m. Whether it was 5 p.m. or later, it starts getting dark around 4:30 p.m. and before 5 p.m., it’s totally dark.
Boo got shot.
You need to read more about the whole deal Bob before piping off
These kids had been a menace in south central Harlem which is fairly gentrified now for some time and store owners complained
Many young whites live now where she was killed
Morningside park is a very vertical park dropping down from One block east of Amsterdam ave and Columbia and St Luke’s to Manhattan ave in Harlem
110th street is the southern border
Let’s assume she did go into the park to buy some weed ....they don’t enforce weed laws there anymore btw....I’m sure folks do that all day everyday that’s not why she was killed
She could have been going to a Bodega
She had the misfortune of running into this gang of wannabe wildings
We have raised legions of naive young women simply ignorant of the dangers out there
Blame anything blame culture that squashes real think about black behavior and blame black illegitimacy
Yeah, so you can be mugged and robbed on your way back home. Don't think there wouldn't be individuals scoping the store out, and waiting outside to follow you to take what you just bought, along with everything else on your person, and perhaps even your life.
That area is not as bad as it once was trust me....it used to be very bad
I was there recently and was surprised how gentrified it had become
This little bunch of thugs were kind of out of their element
They belonged north of 125th
And that may be where they came from it’s only ten blocks north

Is DeBlasio and police looking for cover ?
The neighborhood had been overrun with feral ghetto savages for months and nothing was done .
Store owners and residents attacked and complained .
Crime had spiked .
So we smear the clueless dead college coed.
I hope her lefty Va Professor father keeps his trap shut and not blame Trump.
And those kids have no idea that from the time they leave their dorm room to give money to a strange person, or persons in a car, that something could happen to them, that might end up with them never getting back to that dorm room.
You shoulda called me ....I was somewhere
From where this murder occurred all the way down to Nassau st in TriBeCa which want quite called that yet
And many points in between
Warning...I was a poor dancer
Except slow dancing ..lol
In my day you bought weed from Jamaicans in Washington square or thru a glass window in back of certain corner grocers usually owned by Dominicans or Koreans
Five bucks a gram then
It’s 20 now I hear
The police are angry because this has revealed the staggering crime stats of that park..highest in the city. And it’s a small (but long) strip of land? Most of which is a cliff and unusable. But the school has tennis courts and facilities down there, so students do have lots of reasons to be there other than buying drugs. I doubt that she would be stupid enough to go look for a drug dealer there, and the stuff is certainly available on campus.
The police union is just angry because this makes them look bad.
And who are taught to hate evil white men.
Everybody wants street cred because the morally inverted trash culture currently oppressing us normalizes transgressiveness as the mark of authenticity.
