    Okay it’s sad.
    Okay, let’s see how much Xristians
    really love each other.
    Let’s see it there’s going to be
    huge demonstrations against illegal
    weapons.
    Let’s see if Al Shar ton appears calling
    for an end to illegal weapons.
    Don’t hold your breath.
    Practice what you preach.

    it is a shame that this senseless death occured in our neighborhood.

    I agree that al sharpton should hold protests against people having guns in their home.

    “name not mentioned wrote:
    Is this important for you to post on crownheights.info???”

    Um, you must be from out of town. Remember the site is CH.info. I live a block away, yes I need to know this. I find your comment offensive.

  • resident on President street

    yes i know for sure it’s her son because i asked the police that was standing outside and he gave me the information. Do you think he will lie to me? why?

    but the problem is all these commments no one should be able to put comment because it doesn’t make me proud to be part, Resident of crown heights. i guess if you had to write your name for each comment people will be carefull about what they say
    you will never say what you say as anonymous!!!
    so try to straighten your thought and talk like mench
    because it’s what the REBBE IS EXPECTING FROM EACH ONE OF US
    !!!

    to ‘resident on president’

    just for the record, police never give out information about crime scenes to bystanders. Just b/c you asked, doesnt mean they’ll tell you, b/c theyre not allowed to do so…and keep in mind that he might have just told you that to get you out of the way-did the thought of that occur to you????-or maybe he didnt know any better himself

  • protect your family

    whats with all the gun hating? guns save lives a lot more than they kill. people should learn how to use guns responsibly in order to protect their families.

  • resident on president street

    it was the truth the cop gave me an information he was not supposed to!! what the heck with you
    you have a problem with that, i know for fact that a five years old son killed his mother it was on the news!!! you feel better now :( go online and check the news instead of trying to educate people and feel SMART!!!!

    I would like to think that this information is very valuable to everyone who lives within this community. Also I agree with the statement saying if you choose to have guns within your home make sure they are in a safe place. As for it being just for African Americans way to be biased and prejudice its a rule everyone should follow regardless your religion or who/what you decide to follow. Instead of debating or arguing about the info post or each others….share the information and make suggestions to keep this area safe and move on. Negativity only leads to more negativity fix the problem by educating one another not insulting.
