Violence and Crime In The Streets
Now a days violence and crime in our very own streets of New York has been very shocking about the amount that's been happening. Recently on the news an unfortunate death of 4 people has occurred in Sheepshead Bay. A man for two days had gone on a killing spree which caused 4 deaths, stabbing of more victims and a robbery of a car. This is a tragic event and scary to know that it wasn't far from many of our our neighborhoods. He was a drug addict which could have been 1 reason for the actions that he had done. Along with this there was a man who tried to rob a lady in a bakery and when she said she didn't have any he sexually assaulted her. Parkslope was said to be one of the most safest neighborhoods and this has happened changing that thought of many people.
All this news is scary enough to hear about and recently my friend has been stabbed by a group of kids. Thankfully he is alright but the thought that it's someone I know and so close to where I live and almost all of my friends that it could of happened to any of us as well. It's upsetting to hear because it was for no reason and it's unimaginable as to why people would do such things. It's such a shame that in our own neighborhoods we have to walk watching over our shoulders.

WOW! When I first heard about what this killer did I was in shock. I was surprised that someone who lived only ten minutes away from me would be able to do such a thing. It was even scary for me to hear this because I knew him. He used to come to my neighborhood and always used to be intoxicated with illegal drugs. Everyone used to say that there is something awfully odd with him and that he wasn't always mentally there. This tragic thing occurred to many innocent victims which is very upsetting. One of the girls he killed, his ex- girlfriend Yelena, was also well known around my neighborhood. When I heard he did such a thing I was in shock. I agree that no matter if you feel safe in your surroundings you must always be careful and watch your back.
ReplyDeleteI remember the day he was out on the run, me and my best friend were walking my dog and theres helicopters above us pointing at us with their lights. I had no clue at first what was going on, then i found out theres a killer in the same neighborhood as I. I got the worst chill I was so scared.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad that there are psychotic people out there who kill other innocent human beings. May the rest in peace.
You gave an excellent summary of the news, and I like that you included the links to the articles you read. The highlight of your blog should be your personal opinions and that is what this is lacking.
