Re: Gang History Of NYC

This is a good post, bro. Read the first, and he's talking about my lady's neighborhood, that area around Cherry street in the LES. There are still a lot of tecatos down there, but to hear her father tell it, man the whole LES during the 80s drug wave was unwalkable, even as a grown ass man, after d...

Not the subway cars themselves but in the station. that's where I see the most juvenile kinda hit ups.

But you're right there's barely any of that compared to ...

Re: GEORGE ZIMMERMAN: GUILTY OR NOT?

Alonso I look at it like this. Tavis Smiley made a great point when he said “you can stand your ground unless you are a black man”. You see when Zimmerman perused TRayvon even after 911 told him not too TRayvon initially ran. Trayvon then turned to confront Zimmerman. At that point was Trayvon not ...

to be honest I used to be in the BX much more, but didn't remember seeing Mico up. The writers that really stand out, are the ones you see in EVERY borough. As you know that's what they call All City. Malvo is a good example of that.

I was at Nets vs Bulls last Monday at the Barclays Center and Zab was in the crowd. Kinda sad how he's a brooklyn dude, and the crowd barely showed him any love when they had him on the big screen.

Good to see he didn't fold in this one. Still lost, but fought well.

Re: Reducing Gun Violence in Brooklyn

SOS does good work. Used to live in Crown Heights and there were a few shootings while I was there. Especially on Nostrand. Things have quieted down but I will attribute that to police presence more so than SOS. 6% drop is good but not something that is conclusive enough to hang your hat on.
