NYC has had more shootings so far this year than in all of 2019

There have been more shootings so far this year in New York City than in all of 2019.

A 24-year-old man who walked bleeding into Lincoln Hospital in The Bronx on Saturday night has pushed the city’s total number of shootings this year to 777 — topping the 776 recorded in all of last year, NYPD data compiled by The Post reveals.

And it’s only the first days of August, with five more months before the year is over.

“It only gets worse from here,” warned Joseph Giacalone, a retired NYPD sergeant and an adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

“As the shootings continue, so will retaliation. It’s a vicious cycle that the NYPD worked hard to mitigate, but that they are no longer able and in some cases willing to do.”

This story can't be true. It is almost impossible to legally own a firearm in NY city.

No one wants to admit the truth. Especially black politicians and white Democrats.
All they do is make excuses and blame anything or anyone else.
Certain elements of our population are nasty, grimy, greasy heathens. Uneducated, demoralized, anti-social and just plain stupid mean.
They seem to be plenty proud of being that way and have actively promoted the lifestyle. Why?

Northwest Woodsman: There should be a “ go fund me” type site where concerned persons can donate ammunition to thugs in cities like Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, and other Marxist democrat cities. Let them take care of eliminating problems for us.
