Rally Against the Casino in Coney Island 4/19
Thor Equities is holding an event at Garguilo’s. The residents in Coney Island are fighting back against a Casino in Coney Island.
Of course lobbyists have been trying to lock in politicians since 2022. Before the community was gerrymandered and our district is extended, look who was lobbied by Thor.

April 17, 202368th Precinct Meeting on 4/19/23
The April meeting of the 68th Precinct Community Council is on Wednesday, April 19th at the Bay Ridge Towers at 260 – 65th Street at 7pm.
None of the people on the 68th Precinct Community Council have mentioned rape at the 68th Precinct.
When their meeting was remote on Zoom, they did take my question about rape. It is a different President now, but some members are still the same.

April 16, 2023Another Rape in the 68th Precinct – Four in the Last 30 Days. Two Female Politicians Are Silent.
The NYPD Crime Stats shows that another rape happened in the 68th Precinct in the last 30 days – that makes a total of four.
The NYPD Compstats site shows that this rape happened on Thursday, April 6th at 4:00 am on 63rd Street and 11th Avenue. (See here – select Brooklyn South from the top left – then 68th Precinct)
Iwen Chu is the senator who represents the area failed to share information about this crime. This is the second rape, Senator Chu has ignored. The other rape was on 3/31/23 on 12th Avenue and 66th Street at 8:00 pm.
Is the same person committing these rapes?
Senator Chu boasted that she works closely with the NYPD, so why hasn’t she alerted the community?
Two women elected leaders didn’t think the community needed to know about a rape that happened near the train station.
The percent changes were removed/not displayed for rape and murder in our district.
.
This is the fifth rape within the 68th Precinct. Local Leaders – Councilwoman Alexa Aviles didn’t mention it – it’s ten days later!
Councilman Brannan does not tell the community about rape. Yes, it’s possible to tell the community what’s going on, without discussing personal details.
People need to know if the rapist(s) has been caught or are they out on bail. If they haven’t been caught, elected leaders should be discussing what is being done to secure this area so it doesn’t happen again.
Oh and any politician who thinks saying the rape happened years ago and was just reported now….no one is reporting a rape from years ago at 4:00 am. (Yes, one elected leader has made this claim for two rapes last year).

April 16, 2023Coney Island Bodega Owner Attacked & Racial Slurs – 1716 Mermaid Avenue
Jamal Sawaid, a grocery store owner in Coney Island was attacked with a metal object and the assailant used racial slurs. (He’s really hurt – caution before clicking here) This happened at the bodega at 1716 Mermaid Avenue.
Councilman Ari Kagan quickly spoke out against the attack and shared what happened with the community:
Jamal Sawaid is known in Coney Island because he donated pre-packaged meals during the pandemic. He was honored by former Assemblymember Mathlde Frontus. (Seen here)
See the attack here:
“I am scared for my life. I have to face it because I have to feed my family.” The owner of a small #ConeyIsland smoke shop had to return to his job just one day after he was brutally attacked with a metal pipe by a group of men. pic.twitter.com/x5tDlV5aXB

Jamal Sawaid returned to work the next day.
This is being investigated as a hate crime. They have a good picture of the men who did the attack:

I don’t know if it is because of the beautiful weather or if it just became Greek Easter.
