Good kid. Just needs access to fresh fruit and vegetables and other programs so he won’t join gangs, deal drugs, and rob people.
Another thug that deserves an Astoria beat down….
We need to bring back stop and frisk
This is all Trump’s fault!!!! He makes people do these nasty things!
I can’t believe all the cowards taking time to post their racist comments. If this is how you feel…show your face and wear your racism proudly. Crime has existed in Astoria for years…this is not knew. Where was this passion when they arrested the Russian couple burglarizing homes in Astoria or the Greek man exposing himself to children in Astoria Park…all people commit crimes. I am disgusted in half of these comments.
We are at the point with the internet where I honestly can’t determine whether or not this is satire. I’m unsure how to proceed! I’ll just downvote you because if it’s sincere, you’re a horse’s ass, and if it’s satire, it should clearly be so, beyond question. Cause I said so.
What is wrong with you? Have you looked up crime statistics in the US? How cowardly can you be…there is crime in Astoria also committed by Eastern European organized crime etc. That does not mean all Eastern Europeans are criminals or have you forgotten about the recent Russian couple burglarizing homes.
Those darn white nationalists committing all of the crime in this country!
It took Giuliani and Bloomberg 20 years to significantly reduce crime and bring in business/job growth to NYC. Deblasio will destroy it in 8.
You mean like the nazi that just committed that mass shooting?
Or the Charlottesville murderer?
Or the MAGA Bomber?
Your comment accidentally disproved your own argument lmao.
Where are our Socialist leaders regarding one of they’re loyal constituents committing wealth redistribution?? Where is our job killer senator and useless councilman ??
Your comment doesn’t even make any sense.
Why, do or did any Republican law makers comment on every robbery or crime perpetrated in a blog? Your posting that stupid “where is” and “where are” comments are old and just plain boring. Get a new calling card already.
Uh…Not sure if you are aware of this, David, but Astoria hasn’t had a Republican lawmaker since 1982.
BRING BACK STOP & FRISK!!!!!!!
Unless the 4th amendment exists I can’t see why not
Criminals now feel emboldened because of Deblasio’s weak on crime policies.
No crime existed before me, my bad.
Disgusting. What the hell is going on in Astoria lately?
1980 all over again.
Ravenswood’s Finest in Action! Any word from Costa and his trusty podium?
You wont hear a peep from them they don’t care about the community. They care more about the mutt that did this robbery .
Deblasio City!!!
A criminal’s best friend!
Right, crime didn’t exist before BDB (and I’m not even a fan of him), idiot.
Crime did exist. But people knew where in Astoria to stay away from and criminals knew where not to mess around because residents where not going to tolerate it. Nowadays its happening in the residential areas that people considered once safer.
It took Giuliani and Bloomberg 20 years to significantly reduce crime and bring in business/job growth to NYC. Deblasio will destroy it in 8.
100% Facts
100% Susan
You are absolutely right. Bring back Giuliani
Deblasio is ruining this city! Disgusting mayor!
He is taking NYC back to the filthy 80’s
