Where’s all the leftist ( levelheaded guy) and everyone else to tell us how racist we are when dealing with reality. That robber isn’t a woodsidet/sunnysider. Does dealing with reality make me a racist???? Keep your head in the sand people, DeBlasio is dumping these people in our neighborhood.

Because you must realize that the concept of police is that they can’t be everywhere every time and that although they’ll cry and scream otherwise, their sources are limited in solving crimes. That’s why they open up incidents to the public.

A community watch is the best policing that no NYPD, LAPD, WhateverPD can accomplish.

Piece of sh*t scum. Is that really an apartment building in sunnyside? Looks like warehouse turned into an apartment? This kind of scum of the earth low life piece of crap kind of people are why you have to watch your back as you enter your building and demand your landlord keep your building locks in good working condition, cameras inside and outside (does this place have any cameras outside).

One question, since we seem to have so many law experts on this site. If you shoot someone (like this assh*le) on the foot, will you get into trouble? I am asking because I can’t tell if this is considered private property/Home or is it considered common area that does not belong to you.

This guys dreadlocks should be easy to spot, it’s time to call the 108 and challenge them to find this idiot.

I know I am going to get down votes for mentioning this, but I’ve been noticing more and more people standing & loitering at corners, alleyways (sunnyside has alleyways? You know those little areas between buildings) and side of houses by driveways and garages, standing like they got nothing to do, smoking pot and gathering chatting, loud laughing like hyenas. Noticing them more and more around 44th and 43rd ave, corners around supermarket, laundromats, smoke shops and near basement entrances. Prime spots can be listed easily, 43rd Ave & 44th Street, 48th and 43rd ave/Skillman Ave, and on the other side, along 46th street up to 48th ave, around the park near 42nd street and greenpoint, around the park near 43rd st and Skillman.

If 108 could spare just a couple, not asking for too many, just 2 cops, and walk around gather intelligence and see what shape the neighborhood is in, we would be in a lot better shape. I am not profiling by race, but you can tell who is a trouble maker just by the way they act, walk, dress..

This is not a warehouse btw… It is the metroplitan housing complex that has been around for about 80 years. If you were familiar with the area, you’d know that.

If you shoot someone who is an aggressor and you fear for your life then you’re good. But in Nazi York City you can not defend yourself because people believe that other’s (politicians and police) can make better decisions than you. Or what’s more perverse is that your neighbor’s are like wanna-be-dictators and think they know what’s best for other people. And to that I say sod off and the only person that can best defend you and yours is only you.

Why would I be familiar with interior of housing complexes I don’t live in? Do you know what inside of every building in Sunnyside looks like?

@Me: Your answer boils down to the answer to the question of “What is the roll of government in your life?”

Should these groups of derelicts write laws and have some twit enforce them to prevent you from reading a book? Worshiping a religion? Then why must they step in when you want to put something in your body (cannabis, hallucinogenic etc…)?

The roll of government is to protect your Liberty not to take care of you from cradle to grave. In universal fashion, all Liberty should be protected from whatever idea you want to put in your brain to whatever you want to put in your hands to defend yourself.

LOL at Roll

Love how you mentioned the bloat of current government as roll instead of role. They’re just so fake and living off of the individual.

Op-ed: Time to register, license, and insure motorized two-wheelers before our streets become even more dangerous

Oct. 2, 2024 By Tom Grech, Councilmember Sandra Ung and Assemblymember Sam Berger

Businesses are feeling the impact. From Astoria to Flushing, sidewalks and streets that once allowed shoppers to stroll safely have become obstacle courses where two-wheelers zip past at alarming speeds, weaving between pedestrians and cars with little regard for the rules of the road. When customers are concerned for their safety, they are less likely to visit, which hurts both business owners and the wider local economy. Haphazardly parked two-wheelers frequently block sidewalks and parking spaces in our commercial corridors, making it more difficult for customers to access our local businesses. This is especially true for seniors and individuals with mobility issues, who now have the added challenge of navigating around e-vehicles to shop at their favorite stores or eat at their favorite restaurants.
