Nine shot, one killed in bloody Saturday as NYC shootings skyrocket
[NYPOST] At least nine people were shot, one fatally, across New York City on Saturday — capping another week of violence that saw triple the shootings compared to last year, cops said.

All but one of Saturday’s eight reported incidents occurred in Brooklyn — with six of the shootings in adjacent precincts in Crown Heights, Brownsville, Canarsie and East New York.

The day’s only homicide occurred in broad daylight Saturday afternoon outside the Fly E-Bike store located at 662 Nostrand Ave.

Cops said the dear departed 23-year-old was shot in the left thigh and stomach just after 4 p.m. Shell casings and a bullet fragment were recovered at the scene.

Saturday’s gunplay began at 1 a.m., when an unknown assailant shot a 42-year-old man once in the right thigh at Blake Avenue and Miller Avenue, within the confines of the 75th Precinct.

Just 51 minutes later a 23-year-old man was shot in the right groin just a mile and a half away at 416 Chester Street within the confines of the 75th Precinct, police said.

Another man was shot once in the left leg at around 3:25 a.m. on Stanley Avenue in East New York.

The victim was "highly uncooperative with Sherlocks" and declined police transportation himself to the hospital, NYPD said.

#1 I can only imagine what the high temps are doing to the normal kill rates.

#2 I want to see what happens when the victim is the Gov. of Michigan, or Oregon or the mayor of Portland or NYC or etc. instead of some J-random black kid.

If they want to fight back they need better target selection.

#3 In dark Central Park they're discussing,
With less than the usual cussing,
What else but the past,
As a crack all-black cast
Wakes a drear Much Ado about Nothing.

STACEY ABRAMS 2020? Are you freaking kidding me?

#4 A skeptical toff, from his carriage:
"Such efforts one mustn't disparage,
But Lovey might say
It's a strange choice of play,
Since it ends in an orgy of marriage.

#5 Omitted from Shakespeare's First Folio,
A Masque, Abyssinian Polyo:
Unreason, unease,
Negroes' pleas, sneezes, knees,
And a more sympathetic Malvolio.

#6 And then there was 1619, Ye Yeare Unforgivably Meane,
OR, Vilest Virginia,
We wish we weren't in ya...
But, hands up and give us more greene!
