Well this is just pathetic, really.
The shooter is an utter moron who should be eliminated the way Lestoil eliminates stink. The same for his gang.
The victim, as unfortunate as his death is- perhaps should have thought better of laughing at an animal that he couldn't control.
The sheeple (see bold below) are cowardly Eloi.
And the politicians who keep them disarmed and tasty treats for mad dogs are scum- they need to shut up, say nothing about good guys having a damed gun and get out of their way so they can use them.

PARADE'S DEADLY DISS

September 3, 2003 -- An aspiring teacher was shot to death at the West Indian Day Parade because he laughed at a Bloods gang member for making hand signs, a witness to the incomprehensible slaying says.
The witness, whose name is being withheld by The Post, was just a few feet away when Anthony Bartholomew, 21, was murdered Monday.
"He got killed because he dissed a Bloods gang member making hand signs," she says. "The area is Bloods territory. You can get killed for that."
The tragedy unfolded as Bartholomew and a friend were standing behind a police barricade on Eastern Parkway between Kingston and Brooklyn avenues, the witness says.
Three men in their 20s walked by, one of them making the hand signs of the Bloods gang, she says.
He had two middle fingers down and three up and he was moving his hand from side to side and up and down.
He didn't appear to be making the gestures to anyone in particular.
Bartholomew, who was studying to be a teacher at Kingsborough Community College, laughed at him, the witness says.
The man, who was wearing a brown sweatsuit and had a red bandana around his forehead, gestured as if to say, "What's your problem?"
But Bartholomew, the father of a month-old baby, just continued laughing.
"He just laughed," the witness says. "He knew what the gestures meant and he laughed."
The witness says the man with the red bandana and his two cohorts stopped by a tree and stared at Bartholomew and his pal, who ignored them.
A few moments later, Bartholomew and his buddy saw a float they liked and they jumped over the police barricade.
The three other men followed.
The witness says the man with the red bandana bumped Bartholomew and when the new father turned around, his stalker pulled out a gun and fired two shots, one striking Bartholomew on the right side of his forehead.
People scattered when the shots rang out, but for some reason, the man with the red bandana returned to the scene after the shooting, the witness says.
Everyone was too scared to say anything, she says.
She says the second of the three men wore a red shirt and black pants and the third wore oversized pants and sneakers.
Cops could not corroborate the witness' account.
They said the shooting involved two groups who may have bumped each other in the frenzied crowd. Someone in the shooter's group hit someone in Bartholomew's group before the bullets started flying, they said.
Witnesses reported seeing someone making gang signs after the shooting, they said.
