OMG What just happened corner of Grand Ave St Marks Shots Fired?

If the following conditions are present, there will be a shooting in Crown Heights:

1. a happy occasion

2. warm weather

3. people hanging out outside

I was semi-nervous walking thru the crowds of people late last night. And this shooting confirms that I was nervous for good reason.

Like the West Indian Day Parade, maybe 4th of July should be cancelled in Crown Heights. People just can't seem to handle it.

Still nothing in the news about a shooting/murder on Grand Avenue, or even CH. Very violent holiday....

Hmmmm. Let's assume there was a shooting, and the press missed it.

That said, the following things are usually true in NYC:

1. The person shooting knew the person being shot at.

2. If the distance between the shooter and person being shot at was more than 15 feet, less than 20% of bullets hit the target. The rest of the bullets hit elsewhere.

3. There is a high probability that either the shooter or the victim was intoxicated at the time of the shooting. Or both.

4. The person firing the gun, and the intended victim are likely to have backgrounds involving a few jail or prison stays.

5. The sex of the person shot, and the person being shot at, is likely to be male.

6. Among the two people (shooter and person being shot at), a high school diploma is lacking.

I also read a statistic somewhere about the number of shootings that happen after an argument might seem to be over.

Meaning, the guy goes home (to his car, whatever) to retrieve a gun, and then returns a short time later to shoot at his opponent.

"you might be bigger than me, but if you are still here when I return, I will blow you away"
