  1. 🤨Given the notariety surrounding this crime, why was he even given bail? If he HAD to be given bail, why no house arrest as well to prevent evasion?

  2. My dad said the same thing, too. He said he remembers people doing this way back in the 80s and 90s. Personally, I didn't even know these type of people even existed.

  3. Yes. The criminal hates staying out of jail.

  4. The U.S. doesn't go off of "innocence", it goes off of "guilty" vs "not guilty." Many people take a plea rather than taking their case to trial, even when they're innocent. If everyone who is accused took their case to trial without copping to a plea, the U.S. judicial system would overwhelming then crumble. There aren't enough resources for that. By pleading guilty, you can realistically serve only about 20 yrs or less on a 30-year sentence with Good Time, Time Served, participation in rehab programs, or even snitching on another criminal. If you take it to trial and lose, you're automatically looking at 40/45 years minimum to Life Without Parole. Pleading guilty, even if you're innocent, is the safest option, ESPECIALLY if you're low income and cannot afford a quality lawyer.

  5. $3k for that apartment is on par with other apartments in the area. He had a choice to not take it.

  6. Who is the "usual suspect"? 🤔

  7. Where are they supposed to go? They can't go home because they're homeless...

  8. ​ @dakotaxu4792  Most people don't hire, room with, or hang out with thieves. How many negative stereotypes of thieves exist? 🤔

  9. What does Black have to do with this? I saw a criminal who needs to be brought to justice. The only person who sees race is you...🤨

  10. WHO is the usual suspect? People who commit crimes on Sundays? 🤔

  11. It's almost like they're following in their country's footsteps...🤔

  14. How do you know whether the suspect plays basketball or not? 🤔

  15. Can you please explain what a "13% area" is? 🤔

  16. Because there's video footage...

  17. You know the suspect by name? That's pretty coincidental...almost as if you're in cohoots with him...🤨

  18. That's what the husband was doing. The gunman shot him while his back was turned and he was retreating back into his apartment.

  19. In this case, he WAS innocent. The man arrived to the confrontation with a fully loaded gun without the safety on. He even readjusted it. He shot the father while his back was turned and he was retreating back into his apartment. He shot the son just because he could. The family is 100% innocent in this.

  20. Same place you are...😕

  21. Who is the "usual suspect?"

  22. Who pushes someone 3x their age? How is he unable to come up with $200 a month when, during that time, most people were getting unemployment? His parents CLEARLY DIDN'T raise him right.

  23. What culture is this?

  24. COVID has been around since BEFORE 2019 and it's NOT going away in a few months.

  25. Kids aren't required to be saints. No one is. Whether the kids are unruly or not is a moot point. My family used to live in one of the most downtrodden, noisy parts of BK and BX, East New York and the South Bronx. When they got sick of it, they didn't kill anyone they simply moved to a suburb in Florida. It's unrealistic to live in such dilapidated, closely confined quarters and NOT expect noise.

  26. Who are the "typical suspects?" 🤔

  27. It DEFINITELY works like that (depending on the state ofc). It sounds like you aren't a landlord, particularly not one in NY.

  28. "Good for chef." 🤡 You DO realize the chef can't work anywhere in the food industry again after this reporting except maybe as a fry cook at a fast food joint, right? 👀 And chef deserves every bit of financial struggle that he's been experiencing and every bit of strife that will be coming to him from here on out. 😂

  29. No, no its not. There's no audio in the video thus you have NO CLUE who threatened who first. The gunman shot the husband while his back was turned and he was retreating into his apartment. If the husband were waving a gun, this would be a different story but a scissors DOES NOT compare to a gun with 9 rounds.

  30. 30 years at age 21 on a m*rd*er case where the evidence is overwhelmingly against you is a sweetheart deal. With programs & good time, you could be out in 20 yrs by age 40.😕

  31. He committed suicide by cop.

  32. My family used to live in one of the loudest parts of BK and BX, ENY & SB. When they got sick of it they didnt kill anyone, they moved to a suburb in FL.🙄

  40. Oh, what a tangled web we weave... Was it even worth it? Imagine throwing your life, career, and legacy away for $63k. This is quite tragic, indeed. 💔

  42. Moving the shelter and homeless people doesn't fix the conditions that caused the people to be homeless in the first place. It just kicks the can down the road...

  46. So basically NYC has a homelessness, drug use, and mental health problem that they won't address ND can't seem to solve?
