Heard on the news that the shooting victim has died. Also heard from a friend who lives in the area that the shooting had nothing to do with the Arab businesses in the area but was an argument at a bar over a young woman.
It’s amazing how these clowns will bend over backwards to please these criminals. You know what? Please move back to the mid-west or wherever it is you came from…. we want a New Yorker to clean it up. The Donald.
They came from little Egypt – guaranteed
It’s crazy how people can get so racist so fast last I check America was stolen not found let’s not forget our real history of the melting pot and how everything began
So then I guess shooting someone innocent is okay with you because of history. Smh
There’s nothing wrong with Steinway. This happens everywhere. It’s a shame… Trump has created an environment where bigots no longer have the decency to hold their tongues. Bigots make this world a hateful and dangerous place.
Apparently you haven’t lived in Astoria long enough to know the area. This was rare in Steinway until this idiot mayor.
Yeah, no. I lived on 25th and Steinway for years. This happened about every two months. I lived in 31st and 42nd happened there about every 4-5 months there. And that was Guiliani time, and Bloomberg time. So DeBlasio really has nothing to do with it.
Towel Heads need to GTFO
The sharp tongue bothers you, not the lowlife shooting the human being.. You’re part of the PC problem.
-charles just because someone points out somebody”a acromony doesn’t mean that they’re not just as offended by the “low life human being”. You’re part of the Fox News produced class of two dimensional imbeciles.
their from queens bridge projects section 8
If you absolutely need to spew your hate, at least get your grammar correct.
Exactly,
Just like Raqqa we need Steinway Street to be leveled into a parking lot. Get these animals sent back to their homeland. This is America.
Wow you come from the nastiest pits of the earth please gtfo of Astoria and possibly the planet
No YOU get out of Astoria and America. We don’t want your idiotic mentality around.
