They need more bike lanes in the area to reduce the amount of drive by shootings. Let’s raise taxes on the ultra rich to fund “significant investments in critical state services”

At that time of day, there had to be a lot of people on the street who saw it happened and maybe caught part of a license plate number. Not to mention cameras that are around to catch drivers that are speeding. Another senseless killing in DeBlasio’s Dodge City.

Sarah, no one is looking at the license plate while the shots are fired. Only hope is for the cameras. This is a city that Deblacio has created.

That’s not too far from Sen. Jessica Ramos office, I wonder if she has anything to say about the violence and crime in the area.
