“Gun Free Zone” signs need to be in 68 languages. Then we’ll see peace and tranquility for all!!!

What shocking behavior! He actually DISPLAYED a firearm in addition to shooting it? I am speechless.

My three takeaways from this article:

1. You probably don’t want to be a security guard in New York City.
2. You probably don’t want to be a tourist in New York City.
3. Gun-free zones don’t work, anywhere.

The “Gun Free Zones” sign now have little footnotes at the bottom.

“This applies to white people only...”

Are they searching for him so he could be part of the Hochul administration’s gun ban group?

He certainly looked like one of those new gangs composed of illegals sent to rob stores.

"They need a bigger "GUN FREE ZONE' sign."

Assuming the shooter can read.

Didn’t he get the memo? It’s ‘a gun free zone’.

Plus this tourist came all the way from Brazil to get shot in the leg..

Still probably safer in NYC than in Rio de Janiero or Sao Paolo. Salvador is the most violent city in Brazil at 56 murders per 100,000

New York is still below 10, but rising

its another reason why we need to shut the border - to keep the S. American criminals out

And a sign under that reads “AND THIS TIME WE REALLY MEAN IT!”

After each shooting and another “Really” to the sign! “We Really REALLY mean it!”

Gunfree zones are welcome mats to bad actors.
