Another violent crime in yet another homeless shelter. The old Pan American on Queens Blvd. is constantly the scene of police activity. Further down Queens Blvd. there are numerous shelters, the Crown Motel (where a prostitute murdered a John with fentanyl) The Mets Motel ( where cops found and arrested 2 stick up creeps hiding out while serving a different warrant),The Quality Inn (which saw an infant death and in 2018 an assault of an employee of an auto shop next to the shelter by a resident of the shelter), The Days in (where an infant was found dead July 2018) Close these crime riddled shelters..

Nothing more conservative than making a buck and welfare hotels are all about making owners and politicians money.
