30-Year-Old Man Killed on 4th Avenue & 60th St.

Around 2:30 today. a 30-year-old man was killed by a box truck on 4th Avenue and 60th Street around 2:30 pm. (See Video) There is more to this accident than the local news reported.

ABC News wrote that the man was walking on the pavement and was struck by the truck and killed. (Source) In the news segment below, the reporter says that the man was walking on the sidewalk, he fell and lost his balance.

Yahoo News had a total different story for this accident – and it’s very sad.

How awful that a quick moment of joking around could cause someone’s death. Prayers for this man – his family and friends….and also for his friend who was with him on 60th Street – may God help him find peace.

RIP.

Dumb Tweets from Andrew Gounardes

Andrew Gounardes has a lot of time to waste online:

Gounardes writes tweets to fight with Governor Murphy from NJ. Andrew will waste timebeing abrasive to someone in NJ who doesn’t know him.

Gounardes tweets about elevators in Brooklyn – they were done before his time and no leader pushed congestion pricing. Gounardes fails to reveal his lobbyists for congestion pricing.

Brooklyn’s air will not be more clean because of congestion pricing. Why is a state senator from Brooklyn pushing congestion pricing?

Andrew Gounardes and Hochul Push Congestion Pricing – People Calling for Trump to Stop It

Andrew Gounardes doesn’t share that he drives his car to work instead of taking the train.

Elevators were installed in Bay Ridge before Andrew Gounardes became a senator. No one was pushing cvongestion princing back then!

Senator Andrew Gounardes should state which lobbyists are pushing him to push this tax on NY’ers. Everyone has to realize that’s it’s strange that a state senator from Brooklyn is the one pushing congestion pricing.

Congress Representative Nicole Malliotakis has opposed the congestion pricing for long time. She and other politicians asked President Elect Trump for help. Since Malliotakis was loyal to Trump, I can see him stepping in and helping her.
