'This is a tragedy': Forty-nine people shot over 72 hours in New York City

Nearly 50 people were shot over a 72-hour span in New York City this weekend.

Between Thursday and Saturday, 49 people were shot in the largest city in the United States, as the uptick in gun violence continues this summer, according to the Gothamist.

The number of those shot over the three days is five times more than the eight who were shot during the same days last year. At least six people were killed by gunshot wounds over the 72 hours, compared to three homicides that took place during the same time last year.

There have been 1,087 shooting victims so far this year in 888 different incidents throughout the city. Last year at this time, there had been 577 shooting victims in 488 incidents in New York City, according to the Gothamist.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yeah, we’re getting Chicago level numbers now, under the bewildered progressive mayor Bill De Blasio.

My hope is that just as Obama lead to Trump, De Blasio’s disastrous time as mayor will lead many New Yorkers to vote for a Giuliani-style, no nonsense, competent administrator and leader at City Hall.

If a rare creatures as that exists today in NYC government or private sector circles, I couldn’t say. Mostly just the same old ambitious leftist politicos waiting their shot.

It's not a "tragedy" ... it's the damn plan.

The problem is that it's going to be all-but impossible to find anyone who can fill the bill. How many young conservatives can be found of late in NYC, particularly in the governmental bureaucracy?
Can you name three...?
