August 31, 2026Murder Percentage Missing From the 68th Pct’s Stats
Someone wants to say crime is down this week. But look at the last column.
The two murders this year aren’t calculating their percentage.
If they can show the rape percentage being down – they can show the murder’s percentage being up.

August 31, 2026Love Was Found at Owls Head Park. Bay Ridge Animal Lovers Moved Quickly to Get Her Help
This morning, around 5:00 am, Amanda’s brother was walking his dog near Owl’s Head Park. He heard a dog crying and followed the cries until he found an emancipated pitbull lying on the ground. The dog was unable to walk or even stand. Video: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=28020828597575069
Amanda shared the dog’s photo on Facebook and asked the community for help because she tried calling rescues, but none were returning her calls.
A Bay Ridge resident named Camille went to get the dog. She and Melissa named the dog “Love” and took Love to Verg. Verg’s bill was going to be $5000 for the first day. Love was going to need medical care for awhile.
Melissa contacted NYC Second Chance Rescue for help They left Verg and brought Love to Second Chance Rescue’s vet. Love is hospitalized and being cared for now.
To donate to Seecond Chance Rescue:

Zelle: [email protected]

Thank you to Melissa, Camille, Amanda and Amanda’s brother for taking care of this dog! I’m glad that there are kind people in Bay Ridge, who are always willing to help animals in need.
Update: Love was renamed Owl.
Update: If you live near Owls Head Park, can you please check your cameras to see if you got any footage of the person who left the dog on the street like this.

August 30, 2026RIP Jiayi Zheng – Nurse Killed in Well-Known Dangerous Area of Sunset Park
On Saturday morning, Jiayi Zheng, a nurse at NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn left work after finishing an overnight shift at the hospital.
Jiayi was walking home at 7:40 am in her scrubs on 55th Street and 3rd Avenue in Sunset Park.
A speeding black Cadillac sedan drove past the red light, hit Jiayi and did not stop. The vehicle had PA plates. The driver still has not been identified.
Jiayi Zheng was rushed back to the hospital, but sadly she could not be saved by her collogues. How heartbreaking!
RIP Jiayi. She was only 28-years old and she dedicated her life to caring for others. Prayers for her family and friends.
This area of 3rd Avenue is WELL KNOWN for being dangerous. In 2023, it was listed as a top problem in NYC. It was number 5 on this list : https://www.chopranocerino.com/new-york-city-hotspots-for-traffic-collisions
Senator Andrew Gounardes failed to take action for Sunset Park and another person died. On the television news, Gounardes claimed that the DOT “ghosted him and didn’t come back with a plan.” Gounardes never pressed the issue on social media or took action.
In July 2025, two men were killed nearby on 52nd Street and 3rd Avenue. While Senator Steve Chan doesn’t represent this area (Gounardes does), Steve went to the area to offer his help.
I remember being surprised that Gounardes didn’t show up for his community when Steve Chan did. I wrote about it here: https://shorturl.at/sXChb
Gounardes thinks writing about an accident on social media is enough, but that is not leadership. He should have taken action for Sunset Park.

August 30, 2026Ridgite Praised Bay Ridge FDNY For Fast Response
I love when someone shares something wonderful on social media.
Barbara shared: “Last week my senior citizen friend fell on a sidewalk and couldn’t get up. I called 911. Three minutes later, two Fire Department EMT officers showed up to help my friend get up and go to a hospital. While the EMT officers were helping my friend two police officers stopped to check on the situation. Fast forward six hours: my friend was released from the NYU Langone ER and went home. She broke no bones and is in good health.”
