When I awoke to the news early this morning, I was crestfallen, to say the least. <br /><br />I just crossed the intersection minutes ago this evening and it is covered with yellow tape and marked as an official crime scene. To think this would or could happen, in broad daylight, especially after yesterday's attack, is horrific and impossible to bear. In fact, I just read online the female victim has sadly passed away. :(<br /><br />Here's what I don't understand. If you are so hellbent on ruining or taking your own life, why must you include someone else in the process? Why not just take your own life instead the life of an innocent and defenseless person? And, the ironic thing is that the shooter is going to survive. So unfair. What a coward. We are living in such a messed up and violent world that stories such as this have become normalized. <br /><br />Condolences to the the loved ones and relatives of the deceased victim. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-63381238013186223192017-11-01T18:08:48.608-04:002017-11-01T18:08:48.608-04:00Tough week for Citibike.

You are so right. This is at lea...@olympiasepriot. You are so right. This is at least the second time in the past two days that a boyfriend tried to kill his girlfriend in Lower Manhattan alone. The other tragedy happened Sunday morning in the projects across the street from Bellevue, on 28th St and 1st Ave. when an ex-con killed his 38 year old girlfriend, leaving a 6 year old child behind. The utter depravity that is mankind knows no bounds. Even as we pray for the victims, we can be certain that this bottomless, senseless, endless addiction to violence will continue. <br /><br />Via DNA Info:<br /><br />KIPS BAY — The ex-con charged with killing "the woman that he loved" in an East 28th Street apartment building was found hiding under a blanket just feet away from his girlfriend's dead body, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said.<br /><br />Charles Pratt, 33, was charged with murder and strangulation in connection with the death of Latisha Fowler, 38, inside an 18th floor apartment at 344 E. 28th St., between First and Second avenues, on Sunday around 9:15 a.m., police said.<br /><br />Pratt choked Fowler with his hands and a cord during an argument. Her 6-year-old son was inside the apartment at the time, the NYPD and prosecutors said.<br /><br />Pratt later told investigators “that he was sorry for killing the woman that he loved,” court papers state.Giovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061991537085810824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-83102519363051620312017-11-01T11:34:21.417-04:002017-11-01T11:34:21.417-04:00I wish to God they'd stop calling murders or a...I wish to God they'd stop calling murders or attempted murders of an intimate partner ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE PUBLIC EXECUTIONS "domestic" "disputes"<br /><br />"A woman has been shot in the stomach while parking her CitiBike in Manhattan"<br />"The woman, who appeared to be pregnant, was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries."<br /><br />THIS IS NOT A DOMESTIC DISPUTE.
