These shootings are happening on a broad scale further into the pandemic. I’m finding that the majority of these suspects do not live in New York, and furthermore I personally witnessed more than a few individuals who are from New Jersey come to New York to do their dirty work. Statistics show that between 1998 – 2017 more outsiders (Non New Yorkers) have doubled are crime rate rather than individuals who actually reside in New York City. And the 80’s was a lot worse.
