1. AS the Oligarchs crush the middle class, destroy all the jobs, etc, more and more of this

4. Right. Unprovoked? No way. The protectors of the oligarchs have made many enemies. nt

2. The cause of the errant round

could be because the police commissioners require NYPD sidearms to have a 12 pound trigger pull.

3. I moved from NYC when I was eleven. That was in the seventies.

It's supposed to be cleaner and safer now.

6. Much cleaner and safer .

Murders down 80% since then. We can thank anti-lead environmental regulation.

Some people here are pining for the bad old days. I don't get it.
