The Boulevard Of Zombie Condo Development

Woodside And Elmhurst, Queens, N.Y.

Remember when Queens Boulevard was called the boulevard of death? Because of the high amount of vehicular accidents that put the fear of death in pedestrians that out of necessity would dare to tread across the four lane quasi-highway? Well, it has got comparably safer to commute and cross than in the past, but it has been replaced by a new form of existential threat, and that is over-development. With this post, I bring forth three technically new buildings that have been built but have remained strangely unfinished and apparently have yet to be occupied. (But strangely they are already on the market).

Welcome to the christening of Queens Boulevard as the Boulevard Of Zombie Condo Development here in Impunity City

Your city.

Lets begin at this mesh covered monstrosity at 64th St.

 This sign has aged quite a bit, but upon closer inspection, this building was supposed to be completed a few days from now in the year 2018

Next, let’s cross the BQE and check out this budding condo building by 69th St.

Look it’s already garnering interest, but too bad the poor buyer is going to have to wait a little much longer, for this was supposed to be done in the vague completion date of Winter 2018

But the one down the block by 70th St. and Queens Blvd. is the most undead of them all.

But at least it comes with genuine street art, so the developer saves a few dollars on artwashing, avoiding to commission some bland pseudo famous graffiti tagger.

Lo, this zombie condo complex is four years behind schedule…

This building gives off quite an ghoulish aura of mystery. For who knows when construction actually started for this development and when it actually stopped. And of course why it stopped, for there is no D.O.B. certificate on it like the others and a stop work order was clearly and vainly ripped off the building placard.

To be fair and balanced here, those photos were taken in late August/early September. And some progress had occurred when I returned on a mild day just before Thanksgiving…

The mesh was taken off of the 58th building. But it still remained dormant and not a creature was stirring. Well, surely rats might be stirring in this one, they are fricking everywhere and prefer to squat in these ample abodes if they are not in a NYCHA building.

Well, most of the mesh is off. And the faded placard is still there after 3 months.

The 69th St. building was less zombiefied. For what looked like there were what I assume are contractors or realtors present.

But the zombie building on 70th is still in craptacular shape…

…and to go along with the eerie vibe when one passes by, it seems the zombie condo building has become haunted. Because some entity or apparition put up some real estate banners on some of the crappy little balconies on the higher floors.

The genuine graffiti still remains. The same tags too.

And the same placards still remain too, even the scraped stop work order wasn’t even removed by the elements or even a dabble of goo gone. Which doesn’t do much to ward off suspicion about why this building is still like this for so much time. And it’s safe to presume that there is no “affordable housing” in these complexes because the developments were initiated before de Blasio’s bullshit Housing New York program got implemented.

With the widely reported and countless updates about the dearth of affordable housing and the escalation of the homeless population, it’s shouldn’t be perplexing why these luxury condo buildings (at least what they are advertised to be) are wasting so much space without being used for so long. Another big waste is how the city gave them permits to build these zombie condos in the first place despite the need for more more housing and better quality housing for the poorest citizens of the five boroughs.

The biggest irony of all is the next big residential complex a few blocks away is the Pan American Hotel, which has operated as a homeless shelter in almost the exact amount of years has the 70 St. Zombie Condo development has been behind schedule for completion. In fact, the hotel may have started being a shelter the same exact year as the perceived schedule completion date!

Another interesting about these zombie buildings is that those bike lanes were approved and installed as these were still being constructed (except for ol’ 2015 there). Surely the city expected those residents there to be utilizing these lanes on the regular. But as those three zombie building eyesores remain lifeless, the bike lanes that were once universally rejected by the communities of Woodside and Elmhurst continue and still remain barely used and barren most of the time.

It might be apt to also call these zombie bike lanes too. Too bad this wasn’t much help for this bike shop since it got stretched to Rego Park either.

Yet still more unaffordable and unattainable condo development is still on the way on the Boulevard of Zombie Condo Development, leaving the working poor and shrinking middle class go wanting for a roof over their heads and the luxury of privacy.

This fugly zombie condo complex by the Queens Center Mall is a year late too.

Apparently, one clear reason that these buildings are taking so long to be finished is because of mandatory safety training rules that had to be made into law. Somehow they didn’t have the sense or the morals to implement these rules in the first place.

Somehow, these buildings are still just standing there unoccupied. Could be these condos are too pricey or to shitty looking to risk putting your savings in there and living in it for the rest of your life and probably too risky and not ample enough to raise a family in.

But at least the developer of this monster is showing some accountability:

It’s too bad when all of these zombie apartment buildings finally get done (with the exception of Zombie 70), they will remain lifeless. These zombie condo buildings will just sit there gathering moss and dust as the real estate market speculation/fabrication for the cost of these dwellings ludicrously rise.

These towers only reason for existence is to show that you can work in this city, but you sure as hell can’t live in it. While hundreds of thousands of citizens can barely scrape enough cash to save to transition or to make the rent where they are right now.

Which sort of makes them zombie tenants.

 

The Worst Wonderful Time Of The Year

Midtown, Manhattan, New York

NY Metro

New Yorkers and tourists alike can rejoice over extra elbow room this holiday season as they visit the iconic Rockefeller Christmas Tree in Midtown. Mayor de Blasio on Friday announced a temporary expansion of the pedestrian space around Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall to help ensure the safety and comfort of visitors at the famous holiday tree.  

“The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is New York City’s crown jewel during the holidays, and we’re always excited to welcome the world to see it—but when the world descends on Rockefeller Center for a month on end, additional tools are clearly necessary so that our Vision Zero agenda stays in place,” de Blasio said. “This historic announcement pedestrianizing Rockefeller Center will keep holiday revelers safe while ensuring minimal disruption to the rest of the life of the city.”

Officials will be using moveable barriers to help with partial or full street closures to help with foot traffic.

CBS New York

The FDNY-Uniformed Firefighter Association is criticizing the decision to shut down streets around Rockefeller Center for pedestrians during the holidays.

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced last week that the city would expand pedestrian space in the area and close streets to traffic, saying the increasing number of people in the area is “creating a real safety issue.”

Gerald Fitzgerald, president of the firefighters union, put out a statement Sunday saying he believes there will be increased citywide gridlock as a result of the changes — and that gridlock could affect emergency vehicles.

“The move to increase ‘pedestrian space’ surrounding Rockefeller Center is misguided and makes this city less safe – plain and simple. As it is, traffic is interfering with our firefighters’ abilities to reach the scene of a fire, but this new plan will have wide-felt repercussions in the form of traffic from river-to-river. We all want pedestrian safety, but a key component of safety for all is the ability for New York’s first responders to reach the scene of an emergency, and this is not the best way to ensure the safety of New York’s over 8-million residents and millions of holiday visitors,” he said.

James O’Neill, the second appointed police commissioner of Mayor de Blasio’s NYPD feebly quit his job protecting and has turned his back on the city of New York. But why? Isn’t this city the #SafestBigCity on this planet? Anyway, he’s leaving the five boroughs for sunny and burning California to become a cop for Visa credit services. Even though murders, rapes and robberies and gang violence went up the last two months and Southeastern Queens has seen what can be described as a massive rise in shootings.

And the fact that cops are involved in twice as many situations this year when they had to use their guns, notably in two incidents where cops got killed by incompetence fire from fellow cops. And over ten cops have committed suicide this year. He is walking away as the NYPD are being tasked to monitor the subway and clear it of homeless and prevent farebeating, which has led to consternation from the citizenry of police overdeployment along with arbitrary aggressive enforcement against churro ladies and candy sellers and is leading to clashes with kids and two anarchic protests in his last month as commissioner where people jumped turnstiles, even cutting a bar on one and sprayed anti-cop graffiti on the walls.

He’s turning his back on the city as the heroin epidemic is still spiraling out of control as streets and parks are littered with used syringes. He’s bidding adieu as thousands of delivery packages are getting robbed every day.

He’s splitting right after it was revealed that a porn star real estate agent was able to access NYPD headquarters with some money donations, similar to what Mayor de Blasio’s bubbies Jona Rechnitz and Jeremy Reichberg did when they were treating cops to Vegas and Super Bowl trips and Christmas presents. He’s jetting right after citizens voted to bring forth more transparency by the NYPD by giving the CCRB more powers to investigate and for D.A.’s  reveal cops records for any malfeasance while filing reports or testifying in court.

And the main reason why Jimmy is getting the fuck out of dodge is that he, along with the supposed law enforcement legend Willie Bratton before him, were trying to normalize and cover up a precinct commander’s arrest quota order to round up Black and Hispanic subway fare beaters instead of White or Asian ones as claimed in a lawsuit by a police sergeant and four other officers. That way O’Neill (and Bratton as well) avoids have to testify (or testilie) in court. Clearly this is what as led to the racial discrepancies with fare beaters that’s inspired all these current protests.

Smell ya later, James O’Neill. But certainly you will be back.

In South Jamaica, a 17-year-old girl was found lying dead and bleeding on the sidewalk from two stab wounds to her chest and abdomen. This death in the Jamaica area is the third one related to the gang war that caused a death of a 14-year-old boy and a serious injury to a 16-year-old girl from stray bullets meant for their rivals. This murder happened three blocks away from the basketball court where the boy was killed.

The 14-year-old boy was this girl’s cousin, and she went to live with his parents after he died. And she met her deadly fate because she was determined to find out who murdered him and met the demons that did, a man and a 17-year-old girl who is still on the loose that arranged a meetup with her. She was a real life Nancy Drew.

Also in South Jamaica, a man was stabbed to death in front of his apartment building.

Again in South Jamaica, a woman was stabbed to death and left on the street bleeding.

In Ozone Park, a man murdered his wife after they recently filed for divorce and after she put out an order of protection against him, then he committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree in Spring Creek Park. After enduring months of abuse from him during their brief marriage where he would get furious over her fandom of a Bollywood star and her job as a bartender, she went back to his home to rekindle their relationship  and wound up getting stabbed multiple times.

Also in Ozone Park at the 80th St. Station, a man was beaten down by a gang of men when he wouldn’t open the emergency door for them.

Again in Ozone Park, a delivery man got jumped by two men who held him up at knifepoint, then brutally beat him down and robbed his cellphone, credit cards, $480 and his bike.

And again in Ozone Park, a 16-year-old boy stole a car with two kids still in the back seat, then sped down the street in the wrong direction and crashed into a tree.

And again in Ozone Park, a woman was sucker punched in the head while she was walking on the sidewalk and was robbed of her purse by a gang of women and men. The muggers then tried to sell her cellphone at a video game store a few blocks away.

In South Ozone Park and also South Jamaica, 300 houses were deluged with feces and sewage water from a backed-up four foot main pipe under the Belt Parkway. The imbecile de Blasio hired to run the city’s Dept. Of Environment Protection immediately blamed it on the residents for cooking dinner on Thanksgiving.

https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2019/12/queens-flooding-5.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=915

This man-made and city-neglect environmental disaster has left over hundreds of people homeless and has left a stench that will take infinity to get out. Might as well make this part of the dirty Southeast of Queens a superfund site.

In Jamaica, a man stole a car and jumped out when the cops came after him, then it rolled onto the sidewalk and hit a 60-year-old woman standing there and killed her.

Also in Jamaica, a man was busted with 37 pounds of fentanyl inside a compartment in the drivers cab of his truck. This led to a massive drug bust leading to 10 others getting arrested for possession of over 130 collective pounds of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl and carfentanil; the latter a new chemical over 100 times more potent than fentanyl.

Again in Jamaica, an off-duty cop fighting with his wife grabbed her cellphone as she was closing the door on her car.

And again in Jamaica, a LIRR train got derailed just as it was heading to the station leaving 600 passengers stranded on the Babylon line tracks for hours. The tracks were supposedly inspected only a few hours earlier.

Screenshot_2019-12-04 (2) Narvin Singh Ⓥ on Twitter 1 Jamaica Center subway station in Queens Cops on top of and handcuffin[...](3).png

And again in Jamaica, a homeless woman was grabbed by two cops then they threw her to the ground and slapped handcuffs on her because they thought she needed help getting to a hospital as the president of the city’s health and hospitals department callously stared down at the process like Nurse Ratched.

hha presidentratched

And again in Jamaica, a man sexually molested and attempted to kiss an 8-year-old girl at a shopping mall just a month after a charity group posted his $2,000 bail after he got arrested for sexually assaulting a 3 year-old boy by putting the child’s head in his crotch at a laundromat in Woodhaven.

In Astoria, a man snatched a cellphone right out of a woman’s hand while she was checking on her app-hail ride.

Also in Astoria, an off-duty cop was slashed three times and had his jewelry robbed by an irate driver when he rear-ended his car in a traffic accident.

Again in Astoria, a man was beaten and stabbed to death behind a mixed use apartment building.

And again in Astoria, a man robbed a bank by a passing a note but was caught by cops in the area and then ran towards the nearest train station. The suspect got cornered on the platform and then fell to the street below when he tried to climb down a support post.

And again in Astoria, a man broke into a 75-year-old man’s home while he was still there and stole $9,000 from his bedroom.

And again in Astoria, two men were caught stealing cosmetics at chain pharmacy and escaped by flashing a boxcutter at workers.

And again in Astoria, a bigoted threat was written on a bus depot.

In Elmhurst, hundreds of kids showed their appreciation to their school letting them off early on a Friday by engaging in a riotous rumble in the food court at the Queens Center Mall and then started looting and trash the stores inside, compelling the managers to bring the gates down as the fighting spilled out on the street. The chaos on the street was initiated by one girl who was filming something on her cellphone and got beat down by a gang of girls for it, as the fracas inside the mall was triggered by someone throwing fake money into the crowd.

It’s hard to gauge a timeline of what actually happened first, but this purge looks like it was premeditated by some of these rascals on social media.

I bet those school officials thought they were really cool. Surely they will get the same respect from these kids after this.

In East Elmhurst, a homeless man got stabbed to the death by a man during a fight in front of the shelter where he was staying and where his killer used to stay. Neighbors have been complaining about the daily violence and blatant drug dealing by its residents at the shelter and the total lack of effort by the security contractor there to curb their behavior.

In St. Albans, three homeless men got killed in a fire at a house they were squatting in for three years. The house was cited for various violations for illegal subdividing for makeshift apartments for multiple renters and has been abandoned for 10 years. Turned out the house was burned down intentionally.

A basement fire ripped through a two-story house in St. Albans, Queens, on Thursday night.

In Long Island City, a bike rider gets clobbered by a speeding minivan in a hit-and-run while he was in the designated bike lane stupidly placed in the middle of the road by the expressway.

Also in Long Island City, a man was busted in possession of 3 guns and ammunition along with bags of smack and crack at the Queensboro Houses. The culprit just made parole after serving time stabbing two people and for shooting a cop at the same NYCHA complex.

Again in Long Island City at the Queensboro Plaza station, a stupid 14-year-old boy climbed atop the 7 train to surf it (and probably film himself doing it) got killed when he got walloped with a overhanging metal object when the train ran under it, causing him to fall onto the tracks behind it.

And again in Long Island City, an app pet sitter who was entrusted with entering a luxury apartment by it’s residents to walk their dogs robbed a designer bag, jewelry and makeup worth about $800.

And again in Long Island City, a man shoplifted two bottles of liquid detergent from a pharmacy chain store. When a worker tried to stop him, his accomplice stuck a gun up at him and then ran out. That must be quite a brand. This version of the incident is rife with bad puns.

And again in Long Island City, a man killed himself by crashing his luxury car into a flatbed truck that stopped at the red light.

In Jackson Heights at the 74 ave./Roosevelt Ave. Station, a man got pissed off at a man holding the doors open as the E train was about to depart as he was arguing with another man about it, then it escalated into a brawl on the platform and the man who complained got a blindsided kick to his face from the asshole who was delaying the transit schedule.

In North Corona, a man was caught pissing on his car by a woman who was taking her 10-month-old daughter to her babysitter. When the man finished, he went towards the woman and grabbed her from behind and tried to kidnap her child. The woman with her child rushed to a nearby store to hide from the man who kept following her.

In Flushing, a man sucker punched a woman in the head when she told him he couldn’t sleep in the church.

Also in Flushing and in Whitestone, two men have committed seven burglaries in seven houses in eleven days. Making off with $15,000 and loads of jewelry plus handbags and a laptop.

Again in Flushing, an 80-year-old woman got hit by a car and killed as the driver hit the gas while she was still crossing the street.

And again in Flushing, a man got caught stealing body wash from a chain pharmacy by a security guard then flashed a knife at him and ran away.

In East Flushing, a woman got died after getting hit by a car while crossing the street.

In Rego Park, a row of parked cars on one block had their windows smashed in.

In Ridgewood, ICE sent officers and a bearcat military vehicle with an armed gunner sticking out of hole on top wielding an automatic weapon to detain a man in his apartment possessing over fifty guns and ammunition. The tank and the militarized ICE cops rolled up near a nursery school and disbursed with weapons drawn the G.I. Joe squad looking for Cobra Commander and naturally frightened everyone around.

A photo taken in Ridgewood on Wednesday morning

Also in Ridgewood, two men snatched two tip jars containing $140 from two cafe’s and got away by punching two workers in the face that tried to stop them.

Again in Ridgewood, a man got into an argument with another man inside a diner and punched him and threw him to the floor.

And again in Ridgewood, a fire broke out on the second floor of an apartment building causing injuries to five people.

In Kew Gardens at the Union Turnpike Station, three boys were bothering a puppy on the E train and angered a man and a woman who tried to defend their pooch and threatened to call the cops. The men then beat up the couple and they wound up with a broken nose and an injured arm.

Also in Kew Gardens, a man went to his girlfriends apartment while he was wanted for raping his 11-year-old niece and stabbed her 6-year-old daughter in the neck in her living room. Then the woman tried to defend her kid and then the man blocked her from leaving and stabbed her in the throat.

In Forest Hills, a man riding on the bike path got hit by a car when the driver ran the stop sign on the merged path into the middle western express vehicle lane. Despite video footage taken by the biker, the cops didn’t charge the driver because they claimed they weren’t there to see it.

Also in Forest Hills, a person driving an SUV crashed it into a dental office that resembled a 7-11 around 2 a.m.. That’s a proactive way to get your checkup first.

In Middle Village, an 83-year-old man got hit and killed by a school bus as the driver was making a turn while he was crossing the street with his wife.

Also in Middle Village, a man walked up to a house and snatched a kid’s scooter left on the stoop.

Again in Middle Village and in Maspeth, two men broke into three houses in three days and robbed a woman’s car as well as cash and electronics, then was caught by a woman still at home when they tried to pry into her back door. After that botched burglary, they robbed a woman of  $6,000 of cash and merchandise by breaking open her front door. They got away in a tan mini-van.

Also in Maspeth, a drunk driver scraped nine parked police cruisers parked diagonally on one block.

In Woodside, a woman got hit by a van while crossing the street and died from her injuries.

In North Corona, a gang of ten teenagers jumped a man and threw him against a wall and robbed his headphones and wallet, then punched him and ran away.

In Sunnyside, a man stabbed another man in the chest and back during a daylight street fight.

In Far Rockaway, a man was busted with a Russian automatic rifle and over 100 rounds of ammo in his apartment. It appears he was looking to buy or may have already sold a couple of guns.

https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2019/12/ak47-20.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=915

In College Point, cops busted a man in his house for possessing four guns and ammunition and drugs during a search warrant of his home.

In Glendale, two men held up a sewer service business at gunpoint, pistol whipped a worker and robbed it of $9,000

On Rikers Island, a prisoner attacked a C.O. while trying to escort him to the courthouse by bashing him on the head with a piece of wood.

In Hollis, a woman went nutso inside a Dunkin Donuts when she felt her coffee wasn’t be served fast enough, then she trashed the place and knocked over everything that wasn’t tied down as she started tossing napkin dispensers then knocking down the register, a monitor, a couple of metal boxes and then a bunch of product displays.

Somewhere in Queens, an off-duty cop beat up and strangled his wife in front of their child who told him to stop. Because of the 50a law, there is no information of the cops name or where this took place.

In Bayside and also Douglaston, a rash of rim and tire thefts from parked cars has seen a rise in those neighborhoods this year.

In Lindenwood, some racist shithead spray painted racist bromides on the sidewalks and trees and a self-aggrandizing proclaimation on an entire fence.

https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/racist-graffiti-39.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=618&h=410&crop=1https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/racist-graffiti-38.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=915

Brooklyn

In Bay Ridge, 32 cars were found vandalized from getting scratched with keys and all tires were slashed that reportedly occurred during the early morning hours. Following an incident where over 20 cars were found to have their tires slashed and key-scratched on the town’s streets a month before.

https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2019/11/bay-ridge-cars-3.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=1024

Police haven’t found the perpetrator yet but going by the anti-car vitriol by transient bike riding residents and the agitprop narrative (terms like carcentric) being dispensed by city and bike concern blogs along with the pervasive influence on traffic policies by defacto city agents Transportation Alternatives, I bet this violent damage was committed by a bike zealot in some kind of protest. On the street where this current incident happened, there are no bike lanes.

The morning after, four more cars tires were slashed on Shore Road during the early daylight hours.

In East Flatbush, a man was roaming the streets waving a gun in the air and pointing it at his head and then used it assault a bike delivery man, the he bashed a car window and threatened a woman while she was parking and then whacked another car. He then bashed a window of a yeshiva.

This outburst is just has similar to the Saheed Vassel incident last year in Crown Heights, when he wound up surrounded by plain clothes cops and was immediately shot down and killed for being perceived as a threat. Vassel was holding a piece of junk and pretended it was a gun. This guy here clearly has mental problems too but is flashing a real gun, so how come the cops didn’t show up this time? At least they got him alive.

Also in East Flatbush, a man killed himself jumping out a third floor window to escape a fire spreading in an apartment building.

Again in East Flatbush, a woman got shot in the chest by a stray bullet that went through her window in her apartment as she washing her dishes during a gang shootout outside.

In Flatbush, a 60-year-old man rolled on the sidewalk on his moped to give two men food they ordered, then as the man tried to ride away the two goons grabbed him and knocked him down and pummeled him and didn’t pay for it and also took his phone and cash.

Also in Flatbush, a small business owner who got evicted from his grocery store got savagely beat down by his landlords who hit him with a baseball bat and a metal pipeand then tried to keep the merchandise he bought to sell.

In East New York, two cops from the 75th Precinct wastefully misused the precision policing program to target a shipment coming from Vermont to a store in Brooklyn and seized over $17,000 worth of hemp thinking it’s the same thing as the pot sold on the streets. These two morons fucked up a small business and also arrested the owner’s brother who went to pick it up like he normally does and they wasted taxpayer and other law enforcement time with their lame haul.

Also in East New York, a woman on a scooter got killed by a hit-and-run driver as she tried to cross the street in the middle of doing errands.

And in East New York, a 75-year-old man heading to his apartment at the Boulevard Houses was ambushed by two men in front of his door and shoved him to the floor and robbed $3,500 off him.

Again in East New York, a lunatic set a fire on a door at the Pink Houses in his fifth attempt to burn the public housing building down after setting a fire four days earlier, twice in October and once in May.

And again in East New York, a woman was arrested for selling churros at the Broadway Junction, even though she was still able to sell them for a long time even while getting summonses as the cop had trouble convincing a witness of his lie that food isn’t supposed to be sold in the subway. Then explain those newstands that sell candy and chips. And various Dunkin’ Donuts by token booths at Rockerfeller Center, Penn Station and Lexington Avenue. And that dumbass foodie mall Turnstyle at Columbus Circle.

And again in East New York, a man was shot to death on a street corner following an argument with a group of men. The killer fired six shots at him and two of the stray bullets hit a school bus that was still occupied with kids and the back door of a city bus with 30 passengers by a school and a day care center.

And again in East New York, a motorcycle rider got thrown off his bike when a car plowed into him while the driver was making a turn.

And again in East New York, a woman was found dead lying in the middle of the street from getting run over by a hit-and-run driver.

And again in East New York, a teacher kicked a 12-year-old boy in the chest when he was messing around with another student.

In Cypress Hills, two cops responding to a fight by a bodega were suddenly in the presence of shots being fired and then found a SUV with a window broken. Even though they weren’t certain if they were targeted, this led to a massive NYPD over-deployment which included a team of body-armored cops with automatic rifles and the appearance of a military grade vehicle  to one block and wound up arresting one man. Nowhere in the actual story says that the cops were dodging bullets, but if you wanna prepare for war and treat a local city block like it’s a dystopian warzone you might as well write it up like one.

Screenshot_2019-12-01 NYPD officers dodge bullets outside Brooklyn deli, 1 in custody

In Crown Heights, five men surrounded and kept circling a man on an e-motored cycle on the sidewalk and took turns punching him, eventually knocking him off his bike and stealing $200 from him.

Also in Crown Heights, a man watched his car get stolen after he left it running, then he jumped on the hood but fell off and got run over as the thief kept driving.

Again in Crown Heights, two men looking around for someone got into a shootout with another gunman in front of a hipster cafe. Too bad Summerhill ain’t around anymore.

Our phones are more than just communication devices. They are wallets. They are banking institutions. They are credit information, insurance information, everything.”

A man was sprung by a judge at the Bronx Criminal Court who dropped his illegal gun possession charges because two cops that arrested him weren’t available to be witness at his trial because one  got arrested on child pornography charges and the other cop got killed by incompetence fire by his backup as he was trying to cuff a suspect. Then the acquitted by default jerk bragged about his luck on social media.

The NYPD’s Incompetence Fire And Narrative Control Issues

Screenshot_2019-11-04 PressReader com - Your favorite newspapers and magazines (3)

This has been quite a turbulent year for the NYPD. Despite the monthly reports of crime stats trickling down (also up), shooting incidents involving cops and suspects (notably people with mental health conditions) have seen a significant rise. Also seeing a rise is a disturbing trend of the excessive amount of shots being fired by cops, even when they are facing only one perpetrator.

On February 11th, 2019 in the early evening at about 6 p.m., an emergency call was placed about an armed robbery at a cellphone store in Richmond Hill. Christopher Ransom was hauling merchandise while holding up workers at gunpoint, Detective Brian Simonson and his partner Sgt. Matthew Gorman along with six other cops arrived immediately to the crime scene. The cops went into the store and Ransom came out and pointed his gun at them, giving Simonson, Gorman and the cops no other recourse but to shoot in self-defense. In a span of 11 seconds, 42 shots were fired by the cops to take the crook down when he came running outside with intent to shoot. During the fusillade of bullets fired by 7 of the cops (one cop abstained from shooting), the suspect got hit with 8 bullets and survived. Simonsen got off two but was shot in the chest by his fellow cops and later died. Another stray bullet hit Sgt. Gorman in Detective Simonsen wasn’t wearing a bullet-proof vest at the time because it was his day off and he was at a delegate meeting shortly before the robbery happened, but dutifully responded because there had been a spree of other cellphone store robberies around South Queens, especially that very store on 120 st and Atlantic Ave according to residents there. Incidentally, Ransom was involved in a cellphone store robbery in St. Albans four days earlier.

Simonson and Gorman’s backup shot a total of 29 bullets compared to their 13. Simonson only got 2 bullets off before he went down. The cops shot 42 times to take down one criminal that wound up taking the life of a fellow cop. To make this horrendous death worse, it turned out that the Ransom’s gun was a prop.

But the actual issue about this tragedy was not only the excessive discharge of gunfire but the over-deployment of police backup to the robbery. Made apparent by the diagram below by the NY Daily News:

Going by the incident, the situation by the detective and his partner along with two other uniformed cops was under control. But from the vantage point of the backup outside and where they were positioned, it sounds like they panicked and emptied their clips, even after Ransom didn’t shoot when he drew his weapon as they presumed it was jammed. Given the amount of rounds they shot and how lousy the aim was of those four cops outside, it’s a wonder where the other bullets went and given the time of day when it occurred, it’s amazing no innocent bystanders around there or in the vicinity were hit with a stray bullet. (Good thing it was raining out that night).

In their overzealous and stupid effort to take down a criminal stupidly looking to duel with a phalanx of cops with a fake gun, they took the life of Detective Simonson instead. They shot down one of their own in a totally preventable death that could have been avoided if they showed proper restraint or even good judgement. But for some incomprehensible reason this shooting incident and the death of a decorated and beloved police detective did not get the national attention that is usually warranted of other excessive force shootings by police that have made repeated headline news and viral attention especially when the victims are Black or Hispanic.

So what made the mass shooting death of Simonson different? Maybe it’s because of how it was described by the NYPD and the stenographers of the corporate local news media from the newspapers to television to radio and on the social network platforms by their blue check accounts; as a case of “friendly fire”.

Screenshot_2019-11-11 Forty-two shots fired by police in friendly fire fusillade that killed decorated Queens detective

Now this may be the first time that a local police force has used that term to determine a cop being shot down. Because the origin of “friendly fire” was used by the U.S. Defense Department to describe soldiers being shot by their fellow troops during the two invasions of Iraq in 1990 and in the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan in the 2000’s (most notoriously in the cause of death of Pat Tillman and repeated constantly by the likes of then Secretary Donald Rumsfeld) . For the NYPD to utilize that term to deflect responsibility and accountability for the amount of gunfire dispensed and local news stenographing of the narrative put forth by them suggests that Simonson, Gorman and their trigger finger itchy backup were entering a warzone like some jungle in Vietnam or a dirty bomb planted street in Fallujah instead of a sleepy commercial district in Richmond Hill as they were heading to a corner cellphone store.

This is what the warzone they entered looks like, hardly an area where you need tanks or other military grade vehicles:

Besides the NYPD public relations dispensing and local news parroting of “friendly fire” (though there is nothing friendly about being shot to death and a fusillade is definitely unfriendly with any projectiles dispensed), the NYPD clearly spent more effort justifying this narrative in addition to deferring all blame to irrational suspect who was charged with murder despite not being capable of firing a bullet. Multiple conflicting articles came out about Ransom. The NYPD brought up that he tried to commit suicide by cop while Ransom admitted the same but also claimed that he was only doing that as some sort of improv comedic stunt. Like an even more deranged version of the public nuisance comedy of Eric Andre and millions of pranksters on social media app platforms.

No, the only way to describe this preventable tragedy is that Detective Simonson was shot to death and Sgt. Gorman was wounded by his fellow cops from “incompetence fire”.  Because incompetence is a causation of what happens when workers screw up on the job despite thorough orientation and training. And it applies when you are hired with the responsibility of protecting the public and your fellow employees. With an automatic gun. This is no different than preventable fatalities in other jobs in warehouses or in construction sites. If your handling equipment and vehicles that require skill and caution, like forklifts and cranes handling tons of materials or working with tools like jackhammers and nailguns, you would best make sure you don’t injure or kill your fellow workers near you.

Because only an incompetent person, in this case incompetent people, would do something carelessly negligent like this. And it damn well shouldn’t be normalized as an unfortunate cost of enforcing laws or depicted as a sacrifice to them like the NYPD and the media irresponsibly did with this tragedy.

But what is also being overlooked in this incident and many others across the nation in the past few years is that Simonson’s back up cops incompetence shows that there is a proclivity among police to empty their whole cartridges even if the situation doesn’t require it. Because the diagram pics above shows that Simonsen and Gorman and two other cops had the suspect cornered.

Although audio is available of the tragic shooting, body cam footage is still being repressed. And because of the 50a law, the identities of the back up uniformed officers are still not known to the public. But everything is known about the suspect and his history and present, as well as it should be. Of what was released by the NYPD and reported by the local papers, Ransom suffered from mental illness and had over 25 prior arrests. He adopted heroic personas while being a public nuisance like dressing in long underwear and a cape as he entered a police station and also walking into a precinct in Crown Heights impersonating an FBI agent. Even his accomplice and lookout, Jagger Freeman, who fled from the crime scene the second the cops came out was also discovered to have prior arrests too.

The NYPD narrative control of the incompetence fire incident has made those two perpetrators guilty before there is even a trial, which has still not materialized. Ransom’s lawyer even exclaimed that his client is being made the scapegoat for the seven cops excessive use of force. In fact, the NYPD’s narrative control of the cause of Simonsen’s death has overreached so much that they actually also blamed the tragedy on cellphone companies,  saying they don’t secure or encrypt their products well enough to prevent them from being sold on the black market, which has existed since the advent of them. It’s a good and salient point but how is it relevant to cops unleashing over 40 bullets to take down one man and killing one of their own? It seems the NYPD finds it convenient to defer blame and responsibility on others the way they at times accuse suspects of feigning innocence for their charged crimes.

But what about these heavy finger trigger holding cops and why are their identities still hidden from the public and how can the NYPD justify that they need protection? Which really makes no sense considering that 50a had been reinstated for the reason that cops needed to be protected from criminals will search for them. But how does it apply to these unnamed cops when they killed a cop and not the criminal? Are they using it to protect them from the families of Simonsen and Gorman? It’s a ludicrous question yet the usage and exploitation of 50a for this is just as absurd.

The most pressing questions that should be addressed is are these incompetent unidentified cops are still out there patrolling the streets and if any proper re-training was done to prevent another tragedy from happening again.

A little more than 7 months later, it horribly did and so did the narrative that followed

In the Bronx, three plain clothes cops patrolling the Edenwald Houses following a shootout there between gangs confronted Antonio Williams on a corner to stop and question him. Then Williams makes a run for it. Officer Brian Mulkeen, who ran track and field in high school and college, chased him down and tackled him. While he was grappling with him, Williams continued to resist and while trying to grab Mulkeen’s gun, who kept yelling “he’s reaching for it” Reportedly, was able to grab his gun and shoot five times but missed. Another cop then shoots at their direction then the three other cops arrived and fired 10 rounds, which kills Williams but also hitting their fellow officer who was still on top of him. Mulkeen died later from his wounds.

The backup cops defense for shooting and killing their fellow officer was that they thought they were being shot at.

Then the press conferences and the headlines came in, describing it as another case of “friendly fire”

And again, the usage of an old military media spin was used to ameliorate incompetence that caused another preventable death of a police officer. Maybe the continuing militarization of the police in this city as brought about a culture that are making high brass police officials think they are generals and the local cops think of themselves as soldiers fighting in a war zone dealing with gang members and citizens as they are enemies or insurgents (considering other local precincts around the country like in Ferguson, Missouri).

And again the Mulkeen’s backup that killed him identities were kept hidden from the public and news media. Yet everything came out about the murdered suspect, his history of arrests and gang ties and that a warrant was out on him for a drug charge at the time, as it should be. (It also turned out that he was in possession of a gun, so the cops had justification to stop and question him, but it’s odd that he never used it when he was brought down by Mulkeen and instead went for the cops gun instead).

Though he NYPD and the news media’s effort to lessen the severity of incompetence fire that killed Mulkeen was sloppier this time. A few days later, they announced that they did a training video following the incompetence fire death of Officer Simonson, although cops said it wasn’t really effective. And the link to the NY Post doesn’t go to the video but to the timeline article of Simonson’s death (a Google search doesn’t even have links to it).

The “friendly fire” narrative failed to convince Leann Simonson, the widow of Officer Simonsen, who was aghast that it happened again and implored that cops need to less trigger happy and the urgent need for more firearms training (even that asshole Christopher Ransom chimed in about the incompetence fire death of Officer Mulkeen). But Mayor de Blasio immediately and arrogantly dismissed her to keep the narrative going. Which shouldn’t be a surprise since he’s a full blown advocate to keep 50a in place.

As for the cops who incompetently took out Mulkeen, their names were revealed during the weekend as the NYPD released the body cam footage of the tragic incident. Although it didn’t reveal much at all. Besides showing that there was reasonable suspicion for the stop, there is no audio from the footage of the cops cameras despite the audio from the tussle between Mulkeen and Williams that led to the friendly fusillade.

This video the NYPD released looks more opaque than transparent. It not only attempts to absolve the other cops excessive firing but also makes the rationale behind the stop open for more speculation, even though Williams ran. Yet more narrative control to whitewash a fellow cop’s killing.

When Simonson got killed, it was horribly the 20th anniversary of the killing of Amadou Diallo, shot to death by four cops who fired 41 bullets at him on the steps of his apartment building after he took out his wallet to show them his identification. The four cops thought it was a gun and got acquitted with that defense. Bruce Springsteen wrote a song about that incompetence fire mass shooting called American Skin and got defensively excoriated by the NYPD as well as other police precincts around the nation as an anti-cop anthem instead of constructive criticism about inherent racism that goes unaddressed on the force. But what was overlooked in the song was the second verse that advises a boy to respect the police (as if he has no other choice):

Lena gets her son ready for school
She says, “On these streets, Charles
You’ve got to understand the rules
If an officer stops you
Promise me you’ll always be polite
And that you’ll never ever run away
Promise Mama, you’ll keep your hands in sight”

The thing about the mass shooting incompetence fire of Amadou Diallo, an innocent man, is that all four cops names who slaughtered him were revealed to the public. At least the city run by Rudy Giuliani and enforced by Bernie Kerik were accountable to their citizens.

But under Mayor de Blasio and William Bratton and John O’Neill, the usage of 50a has become a cudgel of convenience to not only protect poorly trained police officers but also to reinforce this illusion that the NYPD is immune to error and these are just accidents that come with a risky job. As for Simonson’s fellow cops on that rainy night in Richmond Hill back in February, they all have been reassigned. Where? Who knows?

With the deaths of Simonsen and now Mulkeen, what are the lessons the NYPD themselves are going to learn if they continue to defer blame on the suspects for their own incompetence? Apparently, Mayor de Blasio and the top echelons of the NYPD are going to continue and seem to rather prefer to manufacture consent to avoid responsibility and accountability to cover their collective asses at the expense of the public’s safety…

and the safety of police officers as well.
