what the hell is happening in New York City

an obsession with cars has always been tantamount to murderousness in my book tbqf

post-jellybean binge shooting spree

I'm a little confused, how many of these shootings involved BB guns? From the initial story I read, I thought it was just ("just") the woman who got shot in the face?

i tried to fap but plans were thwarted
i think only one new yorker would want to fap with me anyway and she was way busy

this sounds like a story about new york from a hundred years ago. easter riots!! auto-motive fever!! calumny!!

I read it as the face-shooting was BB and all the others were actual grown-up bullets.

Oh shit

there was a stop-work order on the property in 2004.

well, there go the last sub-$2500/month apartments in that nabe

At 3:59 p.m. a loud rumble sounded and the lower facade of one of the buildings began moving. A moment later it slid slowly to the sidewalk in a mix of glass and loose bricks.

Heavy gray smoke filled the air, and a few moments later as it began to lift it could be seen that no part of the building was left standing.

Jordi Trachtenberg was smoking an electronic cigarette on St. Marks Place, trying to calm down after an explosion “rocked his apartment and made him jump” from his chair.

Mr. Trachtenberg, who lives at 30 St. Marks Place, which faces the back of buildings on Second Avenue, said he thought the explosion was in his building, where he has lived for eight years.

“I felt the ground shake underneath me, and then all this debris — plaster and glass — started pelting my windows,” he said.

“I ran from my building when I saw the flames go up and my apartment filled with smoke,” Mr. Trachtenberg said. “I couldn’t breathe, I started gagging.”

”My first thought really was it was my home,” he said, “because we haven’t had gas for six months, and Con Ed was doing work outside today.”

A dude I knew through someone else posted on facebook that he walked by, smelled gas and saw workers going back and forth frantically. As he got a little further down the street apparently that's when the explosion happened.

also The Fantasticks is closing after a 55-year run.

The NYPD confirms that 99% of arrests at NYU were indeed students, not ‘outside agitators’. The sad reality is that our schools are producing monsters, and it’s now our job to slay them. Simple as that.

And the schools and faculty who sit at the top of this chaos must be razed… pic.twitter.com/iIYNzOlAB9
