Still no comment from Julie Won. I think she’s just upset she didn’t get a photo with the shooters.

No one is surprised anymore by these events. It’s an everyday event that people just expect now and just hope they’re not caught up in it. Eventually it will resemble the daily violence that exists in cities throughout Central and South America. NYC will start to empty out. Already Florida’s population has exceeded NY by 2 million.

True Tommy Central and South America crime coming here with the so called migrants flooding our city, with the exception of El Salvador that is cracking down on their criminals gangs has had a drop in crime of more than 60% and plunging becoming one of the safest in Central and South America.

Ahh yes, New Yorkers terrified of gun violence should flee to Florida, the state with the 3rd most mass shootings since 2013 and whose insane far-right governor and state congress continue to de-regulate and strike down any measures of sensible gun control because somehow its all the woke peoples fault. Good thinking!
