Please it is not anti-Muslim anything. That store is always doing shady stuff and there is always criminal activity going in and around that store. The owner probably got beat up by a drunk/high crack head who he gave credit to. He always gives people credit for stuff in there. Nothing good in that corner so I am not surprised about a shooting. It is just like the old Sam’s Place on the corner of 24th street. I’m sure you new Yupsters have no idea about that. It was messed up then and still is now. NOT anti-muslim.
I doubt this had anything to do with the prior incident. I was shocked that it took place at 7 in the evening when so many people including young children are walking around! I suggest the police take a look at who hangs out on the corner and for what reasons. I seen some sleazy looking people in that area.
