Last month in Baghdad, Iraq played and beat Jordan in soccer/football. SOunded like a MAJOR firefight for about an hour....I was cringing wondering where all of those rounds were going to impact..
About the AK-47's in the Bronx and the Police ignoring them......Have you ever been in the Bronx? On the Grand Concourse? Along Westchester Ave? In Morrisania? Any part of the Bronx?
I have no trouble believing that there are people stupid enough to shoot illegal weapons in to the air but an order to ignore?
I have a lot of trouble believing that what your friend told you is true.
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.
