‘I don’t want to die, I have a
2 year old’: Mother’s Day tourist,
among three struck by stray bullets
in Times Square, speaks out

The only thought that crossed a mother’s mind after she was shot in Times Square was a prayer that the bullet in her leg wouldn’t be fatal. Wendy Magrinat, 23, was standing in line at a store with her family in Times Square when shots rang out on W. 44th St. and Seventh Ave. about 4:55 p.m. Saturday.(Snip) The shooting happened after several men got into an argument. “It is during this dispute that at least one person pulls out a gun,” NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said during a press conference. “It is during that pulling out the gun and the gunfire

Comments:

Tensions always run high in The Community, especially on Mothers Day when so few fathers are around and in a hub of White Supremacy like NYC, so when fists fly or shots ring out at the slightest provocation, well, the tourists are just going to have to deal with it because no lives matter until BLACK lives matter.

The only good news about this story is that they report that the recovered fired cases were ".25 caliber", which means a .25 ACP, since there literally aren't any other .25 caliber handgun cartridges. And the .25 ACP has less power than a .22 rimfire short and typically makes a very narrow, and relatively low damage wound compared to all other handgun cartridges. I never want to be shot with anything, but if I couldn't avoid it, your best bet is a .25 ACP. Certainly it can be, and has been deadly, if placed into a critical part of the body. Unless it managed to hit the femoral artery and the bleeding couldn't be stopped, the odds of a leg wound with this cartridge being life threatening are exceptionally low. A small bit of good news out of a terrible situation.

Some people think they can go anywhere and do anything with the same level of safety. I’m more safe sitting in my small town living room waiting for Chinese space junk to fall than I am in any big blue city. I’m glad she’ll be around to raise her child and hopefully she’ll learn from this. And I’m glad I did my traveling to the big Apple in a more sane era.

New York City is fast becoming the #1 safest tourist destination in the newly published book "Vacations for Liberals". Great mayor, ultra-strict gun laws and virtually no white supremacists. What's not to like?

The dims and their media are turning me into a racist.Whe I see a report like this I immediately assume a young black man is the perp and I am seldom wrong. I have gained respect for Malcolm X who said (in the early 1960s) the white liberal is the main enemy of the black community and only blacks can solve the black problems.I believe only black mothers can get control of these feral animals; but they allowed them to become what they are.

House Democrats want to spend $100 billion to expand broadband internet to poor rural and inner-city communities and make permanent a COVID-19 program that pays $50 a month of the internet bill for low-income families while setting maximum prices that providers can charge in some cases. The pandemic highlighted the importance of being able to afford online access for everyday activities such as going to school or seeing a doctor, President Biden and top Democrats on Capitol Hill say. The issue fits into the Democrats’ priority of reducing racial inequity in the U.S. Studies show that Black and Hispanic families are less likely

The suspected gunman who allegedly wounded three people in Times Square—including a 4-year-old girl—is a career criminal with a lengthy rap sheet, sources familiar with the cases told The Post. Farrakhan Muhammad, 31, who remains on the loose, has a criminal record dating to 2007, including two felony robbery arrests and a 2012 bust where cops seized a 12-gauge shotgun, a 22-caliber handgun, and body armor, according to sources.(Snip) Most of the cases were later sealed, and the outcomes were not immediately known.

Sen. Mitt Romney warned Monday removing Rep. Liz Cheney from GOP leadership in the House will drive voters away from the Republican Party.

Gas prices are already starting to spike in the wake of the suspected Russian cyberattack that shut down America's largest fuel pipeline four days ago as experts fear the attack could turn a 'cyber disaster into a real-world catastrophe'. The attack on Colonial Pipeline, which runs from Texas to New Jersey and transports 45 percent of the East Coast's fuel supply, is the largest assault on US energy infrastructure in history and has sent shockwaves across the industry. It has left Colonial and the US government scrambling to restart the network in a bid to avoid fuel shortages and drastic, long term price hikes.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan posthumously pardoned 34 lynching victims who were killed across the state between 1854 and 1933, saying the historic move is an attempt to “right these horrific wrongs.” Hogan on Saturday issued the blanket pardons for the 34 victims—including a 15-year-old black boy who was hanged by a white mob in 1885—because they were denied legal process and equal protection of law, marking the first such move by a governor of a US state. “Today, we are once again leading the way as we continue the work to build a more perfect union,” the Republican governor said.
