quiddities and agonies of the ruling class - a rolling new york times thread

i remember when some guy got killed outside your apartment in a bar dispute hurting

a guy got killed outside of my friends apt in chinatown while i was there

a guy got killed in a salon across the street from my old apt, i was out of town tho iirc

You mean on Coles? I don't remember a murder, but there was a time a drunk off-duty cop shot some dude in the leg at Lucky 7's. There was also a shooting at that club on Newark Ave the night we moved in (again, in the leg! Six times in the leg!) and we could hear it from our window. My car got broken into a couple times. Home invasion robberies are some extra fucked up shit though.

i called the police on a knife fight outside of my apt, they didnt really look like they wanted to stab each other tho tbh

yeah feel like home invasions are super rare

I mean living a block from a block with constant gun battles is considerably worse than anywhere I've lived, and I've lived with a crack house two doors down.

in boston an apt full of drug dealers i knew got home invaded, but thats obvs special circumstances

Haha a drunk cop shot someone at Lucky 7's? That's funny to me. What club on Newark did someone get shot in?

lol

"Come at me!"
"No YOU!"
"Fuckin scared?"
"YOU fuckin scared!"

kinda suspect theres prob not actually constant gun battles there

Laurel I don't remember the name -- it was next to the Vietnamese Restaurant, like two blocks from where we lived (2nd and Coles)

i feel bad for those kids tbh no matter how corny their band is

last year i lived next to a crack house but i felt p safe the only bad thing was having ppl dump stuff in our garbage all the time

ppl moving to nyc and then bragging about being in the proximity of gunshots is the worst part of ppl moving to nyc

kinda suspect theres prob not actually constant gun battles there

for one thing you have to wonder what the 24/7 cop is doing while these gun battles are going on

which, to be clear, is not what i'm accusing you guys of doing -- just a tangential point

The whole night-time home invasion/pistol whipping thing is FUCKED and makes me wonder if it was completely random or if it was a bit too obvious that these guys had expensive equipment etc and were a little clueless.

xp Coles, hmm. Is Paradise Deli still there, am I thinking of the right corner? Or is that another block out?

yeah the knife dudes just seemed v drunk and like they had hurt each others feeling to the point one of them may have been crying

if it was a bit too obvious that these guys had expensive equipment etc

duh!

new york is the safest big city in the usa iirc!

there were multiple ppl in my news feed on fourth of july being all "fireworks OR GUNSHOTS?? lol i'm talking about ON THE STREET WHERE I LIVE IN NEW YORK. it's crazy!!"

idk, maybe i know too many ppl from the midwest

it was prob fireworks, just based on the fact that it was the fourth of july

fwiw crime is one of the worst things for people and anyone who glorifies it is a repulsive barbarian

hurting, i was almost certain SOMEBODY got killed in lucky 7s, maybe i'm misremembering.
and i don't think anyone's bragging here! I'm sure as fuck not! I want ZERO to do with hostility and violence in my life and there's nothing sexy about proximity to it.

My reaction to gunshots on the night I moved (coupled with someone screaming "murder!") was not really braggin, it was more like "fuuck"

yeah dont think anyone here is really doing that

i mean these stories are also interesting

fucks sake i'm not even a hardman ONLINE

do we have a "most fucked up situation you escaped from without being hurt" thread?

idk but would read!

yeah, wd. contribute too!

I was two threads over when frogbs had 51 put in him

it shook me to my very core

that never happened by the way he took himself out

thats what they want you to think

now he's drinkin' tall boys with pat tillman ;_;

I don't know anyone like this. whereas I know a ton of people in Bushwick and Bed Stuy who are like "yeah it's grungy but pretty safe"

new york is the safest big city in the usa iirc!

I thought it was san diego? but yeah it's up there, the urban areas feel so much safer than urban areas in comparable cities.

pfft sandiego what is that even

Oh there was also the time @ the same Jersey City address that I heard a scuffle outside and I look and there are like 6 big dudes standing around and it's dark but I'm pretty sure one has a gun out, and a few of the guys are like "Put that shit away man! Put that shit away!" So I call the cops, and the lady on the phone was totally nonplussed -- she was like "Are you sure you see a gun?" And I'm like "No, but the other guys are telling him to put it away" and she's like "Did they say 'put the gun away'?" And I'm like "No, they said, 'put that shit away'" And she's like "Well okay then" -- like you know I'm not trying to prove this beyond a reasonable doubt here I'm just trying to say maybe a cop should come stop someone from getting shot?

one afternoon at my old place in ft greene i heard a kerfuffle outside that turned out being this total rumble of like 10 tiny jr high girls just fully beating the shit out of each other, when the police arrived one of them threw another onto the hood of the car and started punching her while the cops jumped out just snatching up these little ladies - one of the more epic scenes ive witnessed

maybe it was his dick, hurting?

naw they prob wouldve said 'put that dick away'

i think the key to the "constant gun battles" thing is that the girl who said that to the reporter was laughing

pfft sandiego what is that even

nyer talking to other nyers liek san diegan not standing right there listening

haha, im sorry san diego didnt mean it

just jel of yr weather

its like 1m degrees here today fwiw

carmen sandiego?
