September 19, 2024Another Sexual Assault at the 95th Street Station in Bay Ridge – Andrew Gounardes was Silent
On September 13th. September 13th. Yes, Friday, September 13th, a woman was touched at the 95th Street train station around 5:30 pm.
Not one politician thought you or I should know. Adam at Loudlabs let us know. (Info)
Councilman Justin Brannan is term-limited so he didn’t feel he had to tell you.
Why didn’t Senator Andrew Gounardes tell the community what happened last week. Gounardes is always writing nonsense on social media, but he does share important information. Andrew claims that he communicates with the NYPD, so why wouldn’t he warn women in Bay Ridge?
A few years ago, a woman was sexually assaulted in the bathroom at the 95th Street station, we asked Andrew Gounardes to take action, but he didn’t. (Info)
During the Summer, a man sexually assaulted a woman at the 95th Street station and Gounardes failed to share the info then as well.
The 68th Precinct is led by a female captain and she didn’t think anyone had the right to know this information, which is almost a week old.
The new captain thinks we need photos, rather than information:
This is the third time a woman has been attacked at the 95th Street station.
Remember to say Crime is Down.

Bay Ridge did you know that the mall plans were scrapped and now the City of Yes will allow them to make a lot more money with housing.

Last Fall, the news told us that this property took out a 20 million dollar loan for this project. (Source)
