Let the NYPD do their job. Stop and Frisk

Exactly…and it won’t catch me or my son laundering money either.
Thanks for agreeing that stop n Frisk was a complete failure.
Trump lovers repeat the info Trump got illegally… to prove he didn’t do anything illegal? Lol
What’s the problem here?
His name is amar he goes to infotech highshool in queens he was expelled last year from my school

Thanks for agreeing Trump is a sex criminal. At least he had the integrity to step down. Oh wait that was Franken.
Was there an example of bragging about sexual assault by Franken? Or you’re just REALLY desperate for a what about?
I grew up in Astoria was a wonderful place to live and hang out and now with all these transients living in Astoria it’s no longer a beautiful town like it used to be, used to be able to walk down the street and you knew everybody, now you walk down the street and you don’t understand a goddamn thing they’re saying everybody speaks everything but American
You should learn how to use punctuation.
Thanks, troll
(“transients” …LOL)
Yes, because god forbid people speak other languages…in the United States, New York City (the melting pot?) or Astoria (the most diverse area of the most diverse borough.) I’ve lived here for over a decade and love that I can walk down any street ( I generally feel pretty safe even with people speaking something other than “American”), I love walking into so many local businesses (many of which have been here since before me and possibly since before you) where the staff speaks something other than “American”…oh, you didn’t mean “those” people…you meant “THOSE” people. Ok, boomer…bye!
English is the one thing that helps us communicate with each other. I’m sure all the newbies from the whitest parts of the United States don’t speak another language. I grew up in Astoria when people were still coming here from Europe.People learned English, and felt accomplished in doing so. They spoke English in public, and their first language at home , including my family that spoke German. I have neighbors that have been in this country for over 25 years, and can not hold a conversation in English.
Astoria was safe when to moved to here a couple of years ago. Now as a single woman living in Astoria and usually walking alone I no longer feel safe around here.
Ok boomer
It’s not any worse that two years ago, except now everyone has a Ring camera and posts every suspicious event and every single bad thing that happens across the internet.
If you don’t believe me, find some old forums or archives. Everyone was talking about the same things 5 years ago.
By all means, move to that fantasy neighborhood in New York City with absolutely 0% crime year-round. FOH
I also don’t feel safe , don’t walk Steinway st at night
Steinway IS scary…especially if you’re looking to open a small business (or want to patronize a small business…really, any business)…I would love to see some of these empty store fronts actually rented out and prospering. Aside from that, I don’t feel any less safe than I did on Steinway (or in most of Astoria) than I did a decade ago.
Yes, Astoria is a unsafe neighborhood. Hopefully people will stop moving here and a large number of people flee out of here.
