RIP Edward Cosgrove – Friend to Many in Bklyn

\\

I was sad to hear that Edward Cosgrove, funeral director at Cosgrove Funeral home had died.

When my father passed, Edward Cosgrove was a great help to me.

In 2015, the sign on the funeral parlor was taken off the building.

I imagine the Cosgrove Family helped thousands of people in the Sunset Park community with their funerals.

Prayers for his family.

Tuesday 7pm-9pm Wednesday 2pm-5pm & 7pm-9pm

RIP Unique Smith – He was Only 15-Year-Old

On Wednesday, September 7th. Unique Smith, a 15-year-old student at Brooklyn Laboratory Charter School was shot in McLaughlin Park in Brooklyn. (News here and here)

EMS transported Smith to Methodist Hospital, where he died a short time later.

What started as a fist fight between Unique Smith and a masked guy, ended with Unique being shot in the stomach. Meaning: the guy was losing the fist fight so he shot Unique to save face.

Following the shooting, two masked men fled from the park on Tillary Street in the direction of Adams. (Source)

The killing of young teens will continue in Brooklyn because no one cares to make any changes. Meaning: Politicians are too focused with lobbyists and publishing their pictures. If politicians cared, there would be protocols for when there is a shooting involving a child or teen. There’s nothing, but pols Tweeting about it.

Prayers for Unique’s mother and family and friends. Nothing could be worse than his mother hearing this news.
