Not as sketchy as ignorance and not up to date on what makes America great as you James.

Ecuadorians are like any American group…many make this country great, some are bad.

What makes America bad is singling out any group in America like you did.

Police on Tuesday released a photo of Portoviejo, taken after a July 26 drunken driving arrest in Queens. He was released on his own recognizance that day.

Portoviejo, who police believe is an Ecuadorian citizen, is 5-foot-5 and about 150 pounds, cops said.

Cops are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.

Like anything else gentrification brings good and bad. The good, fixes up old neighborhoods with parks, new buildings, lowers crime rates. The bad, only the rich can afford it and it is usually not the demographic of the people living in the old area.

A Flushing man was found guilty on Tuesday of brutally killing a 29-year-old woman at his Main Street apartment after a jury deliberated for just two hours before reaching a verdict.

Quming Wan, 55, was convicted of murder, sexual abuse, and related charges for the November 2021 death of Jiaomei Zhou, whose body he carried from his blood-soaked residence to the lobby before he was interrupted by other residents of his building across from Kissena Corridor Park.
