Believe it or don't

That was my post. So I'm glad somebody actually read it. Or maybe you didn't; my signature indicates I grew up in NYC, so you really shouldn't have to ask me if I've ever been in The Bronx.
Yeah. In high school (in the '60s) I rode the subway to date girls on Fordham Rd., Mosholu Pkwy. and in Riverdale. And in the '80s I helped a friend drive his produce truck in and out of the Hunts Pt. Market (for those who don't know, that's the world's largest produce terminal, and a place you don't want to go alone or unarmed) night after night. That's in the 41st Precinct; their house used to be called Fort Apache.
You are of course free to believe or disbelieve anything you wish. But I could just as easily ask you if you know anything about the NYPD. Let's just say that on the job in NYC there's a lot of "looking the other way", but in this matter it came from the bosses.
The "celebratory shooters" belong to a particular ethnic community (from the Balkans) who have a "presence" in The Bronx (mostly along Lydig Ave. in Morris Park, in the 49th Pct). My friend knows whereof he speaks.

I have to look up the mythbusters thing - I don't believe it. A skydiver has about a 220 mph terminal velocity. That's 322 ft/s and I have to believe that a 158gr slug from a 38 is going to be higher than that. Even at 322ft/s, that speed will ruin someone's day in a hurry.
