Grand Larceny is up 450% in Bay Ridge
Look on the bright side: No one was murdered this week in Bay Ridge.
Business were robbed a lot last week (40 – compared to 14 last year) and those numbers are not part of the top crimes, so don’t be fooled by anyone saying crime is down.
I think a lot of people don’t care as long as they (or someone they know) weren’t robbed.
There a lot of people who do care because they don’t want more businesses to close or their friends and relatives moving away because they no longer feel safe.
Here’s the Compstats for last week:
Grand Larceny is up 450% in our community. That means there are a lot of creeps around robbing.
We need police patrolling – try it – it works!
UPDATE: A Bay Ridge know-it-all guy went to Compstats took the new stats for the week and posted them. He wrote, “I don’t know where she got these statistics from, but here’s what is on Compstat.” I let him know he had a different date and he went silent.
These are the stats for 2/14 – 2/20

If You Could Send Snacks to the Troops Overseas Would You? If Yes, The Boy Scouts at St. Anselm Need Your Help
St. Anselm’s 4th graders in Cub Scout Pack 313 are working towards earning their Arrow of Light Award.
The service project they choose was to send care packages to Deployed Military Troops. (Super nice!)

Their goal is to send 20 boxes of goodies to men and women in the military. Bay Ridge, they need our help!
They put together a list of items on Amazon from $5.00 to $40.00. (See here)
The scouts put drinks, snacks, books, games and gift cards on the list for the soldiers.
.

They need the items by: MARCH 1, 2022.
When my friends were in the military overseas, we sent them a shoebox with treats. Getting gum, candy and messages from America made a them very happy!
Great work cub scouts and leaders of Troop 313!

Jessica Scarcella-Spanton is Running For Diane Savino’s Senate Seat – District 23 in Brooklyn
When Senator Diane Savino announced her decision not to run for the Brooklyn and Staten Island District 23 seat, her former staffer, Jessica Scarcella-Spanton threw her hat in.
Why does the District 23 Senate seat look like this?
The Democrats super gerrymandered the district to give Andrew Gounardes more Democrats so he could win.
This seat includes a part of Staten, plus the waterfront of Sunset Park, Park Slope and Downtown Brooklyn, as well as all of SeaGate in Coney Island.
This is the district they created for Gounardes:
Savino decided not to run for the seat because more of the district is in Brooklyn and a lot of the area she doesn’t know.
Could Scarcella-Spanton be successful here? She’s running opposite Bianca Rajpersaud, a lobbyist.
Charles Fall, an Assemblyman from Staten Island has his girlfriend, Bianca Rajpersaud, running for seat. (Source) That’s not good. Why would the people in Brooklyn want to be represented by a lobbyist?
We think there will be more candidates from the Brooklyn side – at least one anyway for this area. Throw your hat in and represent Brooklyn! We don’t need David Yassky’s flop flop here.
Good points:
Jessica Scarcella-Spanton is the mother of two small children.
Bad Points:
Not much is known about Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, other than she worked for Senator Savino.
Jessica Scarcella-Spanton is a Gounardes supporter. She liked a post to work for his team:
Her hot pink and navy campaign website has no information about her or the positions that she represents. (See here) To print signs and take pictures, rather tell people what you stand for is not a good sign.
From Scarcella-Spanton‘s social media, she is a huge Britney Spears fan and has tweeted her support to Free Britney. (See here, here, here, here and here)
She has no tweets speaking out against hate, government policies or anything – just retweets or compliments for politicians.
Except this……Scarcella-Spanton wants someone to make a law against playing videos loud on their phone. If you agree, she might be the right candidate for you. 8D

Max Rose Didn’t Support Bay Ridge Businesses During the Pandemic. He Thinks You Don’t Know.
Max Rose is running for office again. He didn’t do anything to help small businesses at the start of the pandemic when he was the Congressman.
Many businesses in Bay Ridge have closed. Rose didn’t offer any support to them.
Businesses aren’t resilient – some are just hanging in and holding onto hope for better days.

Enough of the picture-taking politicians!
We are MAXed out.

Bay Ridge Parks Don’t Like Politics
Imagine thinking anything good comes from vandalizing our parks with a political message. Be better #BayRidge. pic.twitter.com/IkKZPUDl82
— Luke Quinn (@Luke_J_Quinn) February 20, 2022

Luke shared the photo taken in Bay Ridge above. Usually he has beautiful photos of the neighborhood.
This is the type of message that is better on t-shirts and hats, so like-minded people can find each other and yuck it up together.
Leave the politics out of the parks.
