Eric Adams Silent on Gun Violence in Brooklyn Again
On Tuesday, August 20th, two step-brothers in Coney Island were shot and killed. See here and here
Eric Adams, the Brooklyn Borough President was SILENT. I waited to share this because I wanted to see if Eric Adams was his usual fake self or if he was really concerned about poor areas in Brooklyn.
Days ago, I pointed out to him that Eric Adams was grandstanding on the issue of gun violence. Catherina Gioino shared that Adams held a presser about illegal guns.
At the presser, Eric Adams pretended he cared about poor neighborhoods and complained that “There should be an outcry over all neighborhood shootings, as opposed to only ones in more affluent areas.”
Adams didn’t mention the shoot out in Coney Island on his Facebook or Twitter – not even to offer condolences to the families.
Dr. Mathylde Frontus has been an advocate against gun violence for years. On August 20th, she shared this:
Dr. Frontus has been speaking out against violence in Coney Island long before she was an Assemblywoman (this is from 2015 – no sign of Eric Adams).
Councilman Mark Treyger shared this statement.
Eric Adams is an ex-police office. This should be an area that is a strength for him. But it’s not. I wrote to Catherina Gioino to ask her to do an update on Adams because he was caught grandstanding. See here.
