just found this and thought i'd post the first paragraph:
Last Thursday night in Crown Heights there was another shooting. One person died. It was one of those killings that didn't make the paper. It on Albany Avenue near St. John's Place. There were a lot of people out. It was a nice warm summer evening. The cops were prompt. They asked people if anyone saw anything. No one saw a thing. One lady reportedly said of the shooter, "I know the boy. I known him since he was a baby. And I know his momma. And I ain't telling you $h**. "
i just don't understand.

    If you interchange "the boy" with "you" and "telling" with "giving" it is almost exactly how my friend got out of a mugging.

    Just don't get it !! "You know him since he was a baby" Statistics show he would show her no mercy either. The only way to clean up the streets is to get the vermin off of them.
