This was paid for with your tax dollars. It’s not bad art -the buildings are nice.
But the message is wrong. There is a hand holding a mask – not wearing a mask. We have too many people holding a mask – put your mask on!

Another Burglary in Bay Ridge. Crime is Up

Today, the Brooklyn Paper told us about a burglary that happened on June 5th.
WE DID NOT HEAR ABOUT THIS ONE!

This burglary happened at a home on 83rd Street and 3rd Avenue.
Three men entered the home through an unlocked window and identified themselves as police. (Lock your windows Bay Ridge!)
The two male residents were assaulted with a flashlight. One man was 36 yrs old and the other was 83 yrs old. (How awful!)
The article told us that the thieves stole narcotics. (The article doesn’t explain what type of narcotics were taken.)

WHEN IT IS.
The incident described in the paper was burglary.
Yet, the editor of the paper, Meaghan McGoldrick wanted to tell residents that the statistics for felony assaults and robberies are down BEFORE she told you that the statistics for burglaries are up!

In April 2020, burglaries happened more than double the number of times than last year.

Bay Ridge had 38 burglaries (compared to 15 at that time in 2019). Even if you weren’t good in math, you could see that is more than double!

See Larger

By the beginning of July, the 68th Precinct reported that they had 75 burglaries (as opposed to 36 in July 2019)

(See here)

September 2020 – there were 98 burglaries in Bay Ridge. +34.2% change from last year. Murder is up 200% and rape is up 18%

(See
(See larger)

In June, Meaghan McGoldrick forgot to tell us about City Council’s budget talk to defund the police in June. How strange that she would leave that out! For Bay Ridge, Councilman Justin Brannan thought that language was acceptable in City Council. (See here) Brannan could have spoken up and changed the language in City Council, but he played politics on this!
This month, Sammy Hamden, a new business owner on 86th Street in Bay Ridge was robbed and shot at. When local politicians and newspapers failed to mention the incident, he went to the news to let us know. (See here)
Why didn’t Meaghan McGoldrick tell the remarkable story about how the 68th Precinct police caught Sammy’s shooter?

Residents in Dyker Heights are wondering why political leaders won’t tell them that the FBI is doing drug raids in their community. Captain Tolson confirmed that the FBI did a drug raid and six people were arrested from a Dyker Heights home. (See here). Not one politician mentioned the FBI raid, even though many people asked them about it on social media.

Senator Andrew Gounardes was silent when other politicians spoke about defunding the police. Senator Gounardes doesn’t want to talk about crime in the community because then he would need to do something about it!

This is the story of what happened at Gelston Avenue and 88th Street his weekend:
Adam from Loudlabs shared the above video and wrote this description: “A bodega worker was slashed during an attempted robbery. It happened around 6 pm Saturday, September 26th at a Bodega located at 569 92nd Street, next to the Sunoco gas station.”
According to a nearby bodega, the suspect attempted to steal a can of soda. The bodega owner was then slashed in the neck. Police were called, who joined the victim on a foot pursuit which ended five blocks away at Gelston Ave & 88th St. Police restrained the suspect and called for two ambulances.
Two Bravo Volunteer Ambulances arrived first at the scene. NYU Paramedics also responded. The victim was treated for a slash wound to his neck and transported to an area hospital by Bravo EMS in stable condition.
The suspect was treated for a head injury from a fall. He was also transported by Bravo EMS to an area Hospital in stable condition.

Problems with Ballots in Brooklyn

Wow the @BOENYC incompetence continues to stagger. My husband’s ballot was in my envelope. His envelope contained some random person’s ballot (this person appears to be registered at a nearby address). #VoterSuppression #NYC pic.twitter.com/OfW6VmkflF
