Sunnyside is another crimes waiting to happen every day.
I blame the woo plus app. That brings trouble to a neighborhood.
I heard nothingk
Best I carry my fully licensed defense mechanism. When seconds count and the police are minutes away. For those who choose not to defend themselves that’s their choice. The ones that choose to defend themselves will indeed defend themselves.
Wednesday, New Years Day, January 1, 2020 around 4 AM gun shoots were fired as well.
Obvi this is bike lanes duh. But also, do not let your fox watching boomer rents get a piece, they’ll get up in the middle of the night and just shoot any ole rando who looks like they might have attended a DNC rally ‘cuz they heard something and Obama! Next thing you know the victims family’s lawyer owns the condo and you’re stuck on an upstate bus ride because too much Tucker Carlson.
What does people moving into the neighborhood have to do with this incident? And the article was in Time Out Magazine. Terrible to see young couples with babies, and a younger influx of people moving in, definitely not good for Sunnyside! But the drunks, the homeless woman living at the 46th St. stop, the woman outside Dunkin begging for money, and the homeless shelter I suppose have nothing to do with anything! Crime has been on the rise all through New York and it’s unfortunate something happened here, thankfully no one was hurt.
YES! It is the fault of the bike lanes
I live in Woodside clise to Quality Inn / Homeless Shelter on QB btw 54& 53 St.
Around 2am it sounded like firecrackers but it could been gunshots ??? I cant tell the difference but who would have firecrackers go off middle of night ??
Well now. wondering if those riffs raffs in shelter have something to do with this !!!
47th Avenue and 46th Street is Woodside 111377 not Sunnyside 11104. Consult the zip code map.
There may have been casings found by 46th but there were definitely shots fired near 42nd as well. Sounded like they were shooting as they drove up 47th Avenue west to east.
Drive by shooting is normal in the USA.
Bs… how easy to forget farmacy holdup, man running with exposed knife, assault on Skillman ave and a few more… south side is no better than north side… sanctuary city, legalized marijuana, shelters in all neighborhoods; thank deblasio and Cuomo
Sunnyside/Woodside are not more safer than South Bronx or any other part of nyc.
47th ave and 46th st. That’s I.S. 125. Good place to bust some shots. Not like there’s cameras or anything…
A few years ago I predicted Sunnyside would be the new Detroit. I was right. To all the so called leaders who planted stories about sunnyside and how it was a trending neighborhood
You have failed your city
any comment from JVB?
They ruined this neighborhood years ago with article in NY Magazine. This brought an influx of people who from Brooklyn and Manhattan who lived in shoeboxes for 3000. It is only gonna get worse..sad to say
I moved to Sunnyside a few months ago, and I heard what sounded like “Fireworks” late at night but couldn’t see anyway.
What should I do if I think I’m hearing gunshots say a street or two away as a good citizen, call the cops?
by the time the cops show up, it’s too late. best to arm yourself. apply for a fire arm license and get a powerful hand cannon. these thugs don’t care who they hit. just like in the church shooting in Texas today. the parishioners took out the killer.
Damn bike lanes
We will see much more of this with the bail reform. Criminals are being given free reign.
and free Mets tickets!
Melinda Katz plans on cleaning out any lingering supporters who do not agree with the new Prison reform. So yes you are right to say that this will get much worse and Queens will see crimes go unpunished.
Glad no one was hurt. Eagerly awaiting posts about how we’re going back the 1980s, how de Blasio and van Bramer have teamed up to start a crime wave, etc.
The Cosmopolitans formerly the Mets can’t gentrify fast enough. No low income housing.
A Christmas miracle:
8 shots heard and nine casings found!
I guess the 9th. one was for…”silent night”
South side baby. 2200 a month for a 1 bedroom in the no bullet section
