Anybody want to hear about a home invasion robbery on Park?

As for the victim hes OK. He was pistol whipped, not stabbed. This incident appears to be related to an earlier encounter with 2 prostitutes. If that helps anyone sleep better at night. (not a random home invasion). As for safety tips you can contact the Crime Prevention Officer at your local precinct and request a free crime prevention survey.

sounds like a CSI episode. in any case, john or not, glad he's ok.

King, thanks for the update. Early on it seemed like a stabbing. BTW, it is a doorman building and the doorman is who let the perps in. Makes you wonder.

considering that the two years I spent in a doorman building involved me fending off advances by more than one doorman and actually having a relationship with one of them (he offered me a massage in a vulnerable moment, what can I say?), I'm not surprised. the alleged "safety" of having a doorman is minimal, at best. doormen are awesome for dry cleaning delivery and package receipt. not safety.

I have lived on St Marks for 22 years, i had never been robbed til last week, when iwas robbed at gun point inside a building that has a doorman, i have never been paranoid about crime even when there was crack everywhere, but i do think crime is going up.Plus the demographics of people moving into the neighborhood are prime targets for muggingnsw!!

What is a crime prevention survey exactly?

The doormen I have experienced (not sexually) have at least been able to not let in the bad guys though. If somebody comes, they call you in your apartment. If you're not there or you do not want said person allowed up, they don't let them.

I don't understand why this old man's doorman allowed the attacker into the building.

lol. he was hot? in any case, this was several years ago, and in harlem. so no need to be concerned.

A crime prevention survey in a nutshell involves the Crime Prevention Officer going into and around your residence in an efforf to find easy entry points for would be criminals. Recomendations are given as far as lighting, Locks, windows and even home security systems. On a sepaerate note, most home invasion robberies usually involve a specifically targeted individual, often drug dealers. Usually the perpetrator has detailed knowledge about the victim.

It's hard not to be amused by the thread (violence against people is bad and wrong, but if I’m killed while doing modern dance on the BQE… Well…):

first - Uzi toting ninjas invade home during prayer meeting leaving homeowner with multiple stab wounds.

middle- Thugs sneak by doorman randomly select apartment dweller pistol whipping him in the process.

end - Fool pistol whipped by enterprising trollop.

Perhaps the post should have read, "Does Anyone Wanna hear about a guy that got pistol-whipped due to his relationship with some ho's?"

Until it is more clearly explained, itmakes sense that if this guy had relations with these women and their helpful men, that the doorman would let them in becasue he may have given them permission to enter. Also, if these people frequent the man's apartment, there would be no suspicion by the doorman to let them in. I have friends in doorman buildings who let me enter simply becasue I'm a familiar face who often visits the same apartment. There is nothing odd or weird, or usually unsafe about that.

In other words, this is isolated and, it sounds like, there was a history between groups involved.

Do we know that the whores were female? I thought maybe they were rent boys?

Also, this old dude must be on the Viagra. He's in his 60s and needs not one but TWO whores at the same time?

Point well taken (I rephrase):

Man orders Twinky - gets pistol whipped by a Big Mac.

Thank you, LeeHo for your monday morning simplification of the event. I personally saw the victim in the hospital moments after he was rolled in and spoke with the officers who escorted him. The victims original story was the story that I originally posted. If the victim changed his account of the events after the fact, I apologize for not being everywhere all the time.

ParadeRest hangs out in the hospital gathering scare stories to post on the board?

OR... is ParadeRest a lesson in why you shouldn't post every half-assed thing you hear about?

I love all the theories about me. Am I a cop? Do I have a scanner? Do I hang out in the hospital gathering scary stories? Am I a lesson in why you shouldn't post every half-assed thing you hear about?

I actually know the cops who responded on a personal basis. I'm guessing that kingwithoutacrown may also know them. Hey king, I may have figured you out. Did we ever have a talk about the Shomrim RMP?

My last question was rhetorical. This thread IS an example of why people should not post every half-assed thing they come across.

hehehe

Yawn. Mouth open. Bored. Hmmmmm

My post was not to discredit the Original poster, rather a clarification of the incident. Also never had a Shomrim RMP discussion.

The man in question is suing his building btw.
Kingwithoutacrown's follow up on the narrative appears correct.
