Miami crazy right now. I shouldn’t even bring this to Twitter but y’all be safe out here and stay inside. Nigga opened the back door on me today as I was walking across the street to the corn truck with a AR-15 in broad day light and only through the grace of God it jammed
Crazy part about it I was walking across the street to a kids party to buy the cor and nobody saw what almost happened. Niggas is riding round mad and not caring about nobody right now. I honestly feel like children parties in the hood is not a bright idea anymore
Nobody can’t tell me God isn’t real man. I have never been that close to death before 3 feet away from 100 rounds in broad day light! Niggaz gotta chill fr I could be under a white sheet right now for tryna buy some corn

KANSAS CITY, MO – On what has become another somber day for the rap community, aspiring Detroit-bred rapper, videographer and visual artist VNZA — real name Vonza Watson — was reported dead on Monday (May 31). According to The Kansas City Star, Watson was shot and killed on Saturday night (May 29) at a Lake of the Ozarks area bar.
The Camden County Sheriff’s Office eventually identified Watson as the victim as tributes to the 27-year-old artist started popping up on social media. Police say Watson was shot in the chest shortly before 11 p.m. local time at Lazy Gators, a waterfront venue next to the popular Shady Gators bar and grill near Lake Ozark, Missouri
Three people have already been arrested in connection to Watson’s death. Investigators are asking anyone who captured the incident on camera to submit those images to the sheriff’s office.
“We know for a fact there was probably 25 people with camera videos videoing this,” Sheriff Tony R. Helms told Springfield, Missouri TV station KR3. “I know you think that’s great but we think it’s even better if you can get that to us.” [...]

SUNNYVALE, CA – Bay Area rapper Mike Darole was reportedly killed in Sunnyvale, California during a botched robbery on Saturday (May 15).
According to a GoFundMe page erected in the name of his children, Darole was fatally shot while simply walking his dog outside of his family home. Sources say the unknown assailants attempted to rob Darole, but a scuffle ensued.
The gunman reportedly fired multiple rounds and struck the 29-year-old father six times.
Although Darole was quickly transported to a local hospital, doctors were unable to save him. Darole is survived by his girlfriend of 12 years, three children, parents, sister and younger brother as well as three nieces and nephew [....]

shootings numbers are low, trying to figure out why. but murder numbers are correct and show a substantial increase this year compared to last, and a big increase last year. April wasn't high, but otherwise LA is also going through this.
so, wait, LA has a similar increase in murders, but lower shooting numbers than other cities? As in, Angelinos are killing each other by means other than guns?

interesting to note he is charged with violating the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, that it is still partly named after Matthew Shephard-mho, the name doesn't matter that much, the law itself is the thing but then names of other things (going back hundreds of years even) certainly do seem to bother a lot of people lately...
great sounds like bad dudes all around, at least keeps more guns from coming in. THAT SAID, we got plenty enough right here already to kill for decades unless a lot of them don't get melted down somehow.

I think the general message of summer 2020 protests and riots from left of center: it's okay to vandalize something if it makes you angry, statues pulled down and dumped in water, whole downtowns covered with grafitti, and broken windows owned by "capitalists" everywhere ALL JUST FINE EXPRESSIONS OF OUTRAGE, shrug, completely excusable.
CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST. Different things anger different people, doh. How do you like them apples? We're not a democracy, everybody gets to express their anger at whatever people have legally built, including things built and paid for by the majority public. Just everybody do their thing and nobody is going to complain, no one on the left speaks out about it taking things into individual hands instead of due process, because: we're scared of angry righteousness, we don't want to upset them....
Businesses throughout NYC are still recovering from the past year, purposely causing damage to their business is not helping any cause. This incident is under investigation. pic.twitter.com/37U25QYciF
During tonight’s protest in Manhattan, not only was a business damaged, an innocent customer suffered a laceration when the glass shattered during their destruction.
Like Mayor Lance-Bottoms said this is not how you protest...I for one as a NYC resident and not a business owner but realizing they are the life of our city would like it very much if this sort of thing is rigorously prosecuted. I really really disliked that it wasn't prosecuted in last year's protests but I realize that the manpower wasn't there. Still, it hurts the Democrats in the end not do so, not Republicans.

The federal agency tasked with enforcing gun laws has been hamstrung for years by the firearms lobby. Now, the president’s plan to rein in gun violence hinges on the A.T.F.’s success.
MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — If there was one moment that summed up the current state of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, it was when the floor at the agency’s gun-tracing center caved in a couple of years ago under the weight of paper.
The accident was not entirely accidental.
The gun lobby, led by the National Rifle Association, has for years systematically blocked plans to modernize the agency’s paper-based weapons-tracing system with a searchable database. As a result, records of gun sales going back decades are stored in boxes stacked seven high, waiting to be processed, against every wall.
“We had a lady pushing a cart, and the floor just gave way,” recalled Tyson J. Arnold, who runs the tracing center, tapping the new, steel-braced deck with his shoe.
Now the long-suffering A.T.F. (somehow the “explosives” never made it into the abbreviation) is at the center of President Biden’s plans to push back at what he has called “the international embarrassment” of gun violence in America [....]

ATF is responding to an officer involved shooting incident that occurred in the Uptown area of Minneapolis this afternoon and will be on scene in a support capacity to assist investigating agencies.
NYPD says number of shootings in May jumped 73% compared to May 2020 (173 vs. 100).
That's on top of the 63% increase in May 2020 vs May 2019 (100 vs. 61).
It appears the increases that began last spring were not just a temporary blip but the start of a trend.

Very prayerful about Indy’s public safety crisis and the urgent need for our leaders to summit and change the current strategies for turning things around. While it is good for more money to be put towards programs, the funding of programs is not our current priority.
There are numerous people in our city who choose to ignore both mans law and God’s law and they do whatever they want, when and to whomever they want to. With current “clearing rates” being so low and access to guns, ammunition and drugs being so high: criminal cases
Are backed up for numerous reasons, jail is crowed, thousands of outstanding warrants, police force numbers dwindling and there’s more; our strategy must change! The most prudent thing to do now is to gather “ALL” public safety partners
And concerned community leaders and summit so that we can create a new strategy that stops our current reality of mass murders and also plans for long term prevention.
Let’s keep in mind that Indy has spent, since 2008 when the crime prevention program dollars were at 5 million per year and subsequently reduced to around 3 million per year, somewhere in the neighborhood of over 50 million dollars on programs! Programs work
in conjunction with a well organized community policing plan and the right leadership in place to properly execute the plan. Indianapolis after today’s mass shooting becomes one of the only cities in America to have nearly half dozen mass shootings in less than 6 months
I keep reading & hearing that “the pandemic “ is driving criminal homicides in the Black community across the country. I wonder what the virus was called in the 80’s, 90’s and the early 2000’s when approximately 18 Black males are killed in America every 24 hours

btw, they already have "social working" units (and social workers in NYC have other things to do, like assisting poor people filling out massive amounts of complex paperwork-and very often it's still paperwork rather than a computer filing, though that too)

CLEVELAND — Authorities are investigating two mass shootings that injured 13 people total over the last 24 hours — some with minor injuries and others in critical condition.
Cleveland police said early Monday morning, six people were shot in the 4100 block of E 81st St. shortly after 4 a.m. Police said the victims range from 17- to 30-years-old.
The 30-year-old was taken to the hospital in serious condition. All other victims are in stable condition.
Another shooting happened around 9:30 p.m. Sunday in the 3700 block of Woodbridge Ave., injuring seven people. Six of the victims were transported to nearby hospitals, and a 24-year-old was in critical condition. Police said one victim refused to be taken to the hospital.
Authorities are investigating both incidents. Suspects are unknown. Anyone with information is being asked to call (216) 623-5000.

Mass shootings were reported across the United States last weekend, leaving five people dead in Chicago, four in Oregon, two in South Florida, two in Indianapolis and one in Salt Lake City.
Seven people were wounded at a graduation party in Cleveland. In New Orleans, eight people were injured in a single shooting incident.
CNN defines a mass shooting as an incident that results in four or more casualties (dead or wounded) excluding the shooter(s).
In a Monday news conference, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said murders in the city are up 5% and shootings are up 17% compared to this date a year ago.
"Much of the violence that we have seen over this weekend and throughout the year is driven by a gang culture. Gang culture of retaliation and revenge. Some call it street justice," Brown said.
In the five fatal shooting incidents in Chicago, nobody has been taken into custody, according to the Chicago Police Department (CPD).
There were 34 police responses to shooting incidents between 4 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Sunday, according to CPD data.
Eight people were wounded Sunday morning in the 8900 block of South Cottage Grove after occupants in a silver sedan fired into a group of people standing on a sidewalk. Six men and two women ranging from 28 to 38 years old were hit by gunfire and transported to local hospitals. The suspects remain at large.
In a separate incident, an individual in a car shot at a 34-year-old man standing on a porch, striking the man in his leg, according to CPD.
Separately, a 24-year-old man was asleep when "shots were fired from outside that went through the drywall and struck him twice in the leg," police said.
In both those cases, the shooting victims survived their wounds.
[....]
In Portland, Oregon, police officers responded to a report of a shooting at a residence on Southeast Boise Street around 10:25 p.m. Sunday and discovered four people dead from gunshot wounds, according to a statement from the Portland Police Bureau.
Portland homicide detectives are investigating and have asked the public to assist with any germane information regarding the incident. The exact manner of death is pending an autopsy, according to police.
No information on arrests was available.
In Florida, at least two people including a 15-year-old boy were killed in an early Monday morning shooting in Miami-Dade County, according to a news release from Miami-Dade Police.
Police responded to a call of shots fired just before 2 a.m. Monday and found five people with apparent gunshot wounds, including the two who died, the release stated.
Two additional juveniles were airlifted to Kendall Regional Medical Center and were in critical and stable conditions, police said. A fifth victim was transported to Jackson South Medical Center in stable condition.
Officers located the gunman, who was identified as the deceased female's boyfriend. As officers were attempting to establish communication with the suspect, he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
Police have not released any additional details regarding a motive, only calling this shooting "domestic related".
Police did not provide suspect information and the investigation is ongoing.
In Indianapolis, Indiana, a Saturday shooting left two people dead and two injured, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said. The shooting happened in a parking lot after the victims left a business, a press release said.
Officers responded to a report of shots fired just after 2 a.m. and found four people suffering from gunshot wounds, according to the release.
One man was pronounced dead at the scene. Another man was transported to a hospital in critical condition and later died of his injuries, the release said.
In Salt Lake City, Utah, a shooting left one person dead and four others injured Sunday morning, said city police Lt. Carlos Valencia.
Police responded to a call of shots fired with reports of "multiple people laying on the grass" and found five people who had been shot, Valencia said.
Four of the victims were taken to the hospital in critical condition and are now listed in stable condition, Valencia told CNN. The fifth victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police believe the shots originated from a passing car, but no suspect information or possible motive was available, Valencia said.
In New Jersey, an 18-year-old male was killed and another male teenager was injured in a shooting near a high school in Maplewood on Sunday night, said Ronald Taylor, the South Orange & Maplewood School District superintendent of schools. Both were students at Columbia High School, Taylor said.
The shooting occurred at Columbia High School's sports complex around 9:38 p.m., according to a news release from the Essex County Prosecutor's office.
7 injured at graduation party
In Cleveland, at least seven people were hospitalized following a Sunday night shooting on the city's westside, Detective Alexander Sinclair with the Cleveland Police Department told CNN.
The shooting happened around 10 p.m. at a graduation party being held in the 3700 block of Woodbridge Avenue, police said.
The exact conditions of the injured are unknown, but police said four of the victims were taken into surgery after they arrived at the hospital. Sinclair said he didn't know of any fatalities.
Based on preliminary information, police believe the suspect or suspects drove up to the party and began shooting. Police have not released any information on suspects or motive.
In New Orleans, at least eight people were injured in a shooting early Sunday morning, the city's police department said in a tweet.
All of the victims were taken to hospitals, with one female in critical condition after suffering a gunshot wound to the face, a tweet said. The other victims are in stable condition or received only graze wounds.
CNN's Mirna Alsharif, Tina Burnside, Kevin Conlon, Carma Hassan, Deanna Hackney, Gregory Lemos and Alta Spells contributed to this report.

In the wake of this weekend's shooting that killed a 10-year-old boy in Queens, Mayor Bill de Blasio is calling on the federal and state government for help.
Justin Wallace was in his home in the Rockaways late Saturday night when police say someone started shooting into it, striking and killing the 10-year-old.
De Blasio says that while gun arrests are up 28% from last year, more is needed to fight gun violence - such as expanding ShotSpotter, growing youth employment and focusing patrols on the top 100 blocks that have seen gun violence.
The mayor also touched on parole reform. He says there's bipartisan support at the state level to provide transitional jobs, transitional housing and access to health care and mental health services to state parolees.
"The facts are clear. State parolees are more likely to be shooting suspects than they have been in the past. They are four times more likely to be involved in gun violence than others who have been involved in the criminal justice system. We see a specific problem, and we can do something about it," de Blasio said.
State Assembly Member Maritza Davila is currently working to introduce a state bill that she says will guarantee a comprehensive program of services for anyone on parole to help them become productive members of society.

Parents and activists are pleading for school safety agents to stay in public schools and be kept under the jurisdiction of the NYPD, and not the Department of Education.
They are concerned with rising crime and gang violence in schools as recent calls have come to defund the police and remove the uniformed school safety agents.
Students spoke out to recall instances of bullying and violence they faced from their peers.
Mona Davids, of the New York City School Safety Coalition, says there were school safety agents there for her when she was hurt.
“Although, school safety agents are under the purview of the NYPD so they are trained in de-escalation techniques, hard and soft lockdowns and even dealing with students who have behavioral issues,” Davids says.
School safety agents are currently trained by the NYPD, but they were once under the jurisdiction of the Department of Education, which the department says is set to happen again starting June 2022.
In a statement, the Department of Education told News 12 in part: “We are bringing our current staff of SSAS back to the Department of Education as part of our goal to provide students with complete safety.”
Queens NY family of color wants justice, sick of losing family members to violence and seeing the same happen to others, pleased to appear at press conference with WHITE (!) NYPD police officer working to get justice for them
yes, I vouch I just watched this exact scene on local teevee with my very own eyes (father was quite eloquent and they did not seem frightened of the police officer, he seemed more like their welcome ally, contrary to what I have been informed by other sources):
The family of a Far Rockaway woman killed last month is seeking justice in the case.
The family of Shalimar Burkett says she was the kind of person who could light up a room.
The mother of two was at a vigil in Crown Heights on May 17 for her friend Miles Bobbsemple when two men jumped out of the car and fired shots - killing the 32-year-old.
Her father has now lost two children to gun violence. His son Neyon Hamilton was fatally shot in July of 2018.
The NYPD is asking for the public's help with this case and says it is working "vigorously" to bring justice.

Chicago police scanner listeners rebel against P.D. spin about everything being under control; found this retweeted by https://twitter.com/SPOTNEWSonIGSpot News who monitors all of them:
Take it from people who listen to the scanners...this is NOT a normal Saturday night. It's not normal for the best staffed districts (11th, 1st, 18th) to have ZERO cars and dozens of calls pending.
— 16th & 17th District Chicago Police Scanner (@CPD1617Scanner) June 7, 2021
And if it IS normal for CPD to have no officers available for "routine calls" then sounds like you need more officers and there IS a shortage, regardless.

In NYC, where murders went up around 40%, Mayor Bill DeBlasio suggested one reason why might be because people have been "cooped up." But research looking at dozens of countries found that the stay at home orders were associated with less, not more, crime. https://t.co/lJe1BZmn9Ipic.twitter.com/WalGLAOVeq

Through Saturday, 678 people in the city had been killed or injured in 594 shootings so far this year. Both figures were up about 69 percent compared with the same period in 2020, when 402 people were wounded in 352 shootings. The number of victims was the highest for the period since 2002, according to Police Department data.
Justin Wallace should have turned 11 today. He should have spent today celebrating with his friends and family.

and NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is taking very seriously the vandalization of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in Queens:
BOTH SIDES DO DO IT! Right here, above.
I think the general message of summer 2020 protests and riots from left of center: it's okay to vandalize something if it makes you angry, statues pulled down and dumped in water, whole downtowns covered with grafitti, and broken windows owned by "capitalists" everywhere ALL JUST FINE EXPRESSIONS OF OUTRAGE, shrug, completely excusable.
CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST. Different things anger different people, doh. How do you like them apples? We're not a democracy, everybody gets to express their anger at whatever people have legally built, including things built and paid for by the majority public. Just everybody do their thing and nobody is going to complain, no one on the left speaks out about it taking things into individual hands instead of due process, because: we're scared of angry righteousness, we don't want to upset them....

Is the above the kind of situation where you instead send armed social workers who can also shoot 100 rounds?
just before that, you have this lovely scene, don't know how this guy can possibly survive:

other things going on at NYPD than just Washington Square and homicides of 10-yr.-olds:

this is how you get illegal guns--and its not by sending social workers to neighbor disputes:
btw, they already have "social working" units (and social workers in NYC have other things to do, like assisting poor people filling out massive amounts of complex paperwork-and very often it's still paperwork rather than a computer filing, though that too)

two things that should be noted:
1) that even though they put many reporters on the above story and waited until 1:57 pm to publish, CNN has not included all major shootings.this last weekend
2) here I am going to repeat two tweets from upthread that demolish the Chicago Police Superintendent's spin in the article about rate of gun violence, what he's doing there:
