Bloods member Grant Fleming, 21, was shot in the chest three times after he sneaked up behind a man walking into his Jersey Street apartment with a bag of groceries.
The targeted victim grabbed Fleming’s gun and opened fire.
Police said Fleming had a lengthy criminal record, including criminal contempt, robbery, and illegal possession of guns
It’s RIGHTEOUS to see a complete waste of an entire generation within THIS family.
“It’s sad to see a complete waste of an entire generation within a family.”
No, it’s not. This family should have been exterminated a long time ago. Hopefully, these boys didn’t leave and heirs.
I suppose those bikes are stolen?
“I don’t know why some posters on FR seem to think it’s a good idea that criminals will be raped in prison.”
Why not? Our justice system sure won’t deal with them.
Rehabilitation through reincarnation!
Well done!!
Gunman is a favorite term of the MSM. It is one of the terms used to make gun owners seem evil. In this particular case it is especially obnoxious since this guy was defending himself and did the country a favor by taking this a**hat out. The guy who was killed was the real “gunman” and they know it. They simply don’t like people defending themselves.
Parse the sentence there. Gunman does not directly refer to either person. The assumption should be that “gunman” refers to the robber because he is the one who was carrying the gun with intent to use. People reading quickly assume that “gunman” refers to the victim because normally a pronoun would be used in that position but “gunman” in this use does not refer back to the person who was robbed. There was surely no attempt to make the robbee the gunman, merely a determination to use the word “gunman” in the piece. It was used awkwardly because normally a pronoun would be appropriate in that position i.e. “he” instead of “the gunman.” The sentence is an assault on plain English, not on the successful self-defender.
Bikes? Hell, everything in that backyard probably, including the swimming pool and the trampoline!
“”This family is very well known to us on Staten Island for their long and glorious history of criminal behavior,” a police source said.
“Glorious”? really?
>Our justice system sure won’t deal with them.<
We no longer have a justice system. Today we have a legal system. Just processes the criminals without too much concern for guilt or innocence. UNLESS they can afford a good lawyer.

Well put!
That’s okay. I should have made it a little clearer.
