1. Gun violence is down in NYC.
> In New York, where gun violence has been rising to levels not seen in years, there were 26 victims from 21 shootings from Friday to Sunday, a DECREASE from the same period last year when 30 people were shot in 25 shootings.
For the month of May, shootings were up 73% over last year.
Robberies up 46.7% and felony assaults 20.5%.
I'm glad that NYC's politburo was able to cherry pick a single weekend of statistics to frame in the positive but if you want to say gun violence is down, I'm gonna have to say "my ass".
