New York City Police officials said in a statement Friday that the rise in shootings in New York City for the first 11 months of year has continued unabated to "levels unseen in years," leading to dramatically increased numbers of victims.

For November, shootings rose over 112%, to 115 incidents, compared to 51 in the same period for 2019, the data showed. For the year to date, shootings were up nearly 96% compared to the prior year, according to the latest statistics for November released by the department Friday.

Homicides also rose during November, with 28 killings, five more than in the prior year. For the complete year homicides total 422, a rise of 38% over last year, NYPD officials said.

In a statement, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said officers were trying innovation and determination to get the job done.  ...

Time to resurrect a MSM-favored word from the OhBummer! era: Unexpectedly. :sarc:

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

De blasios approval rating is a touch under 50 and propped up by slight goodwill on behalf of city dwellers for the covid response, however you feel about him going too far.  But  strongly suspect that 49 percent figure i saw is the absolute best case for him right now.   That approval rating is partially democrats saying bleep you to Republicans in some weird convoluted way (i say with no proof).  I think all said and done de blasio is 40 percent at best.

NYC Republicans should he able to win the general if they don't mess up the primary.

NYC's numbers may be better than Chicago's, fwiw.  :shrug:

Additionally, there were three murders compared to none on the same day last year, according to police.

The rash of shootings to close the weekend comes as Gotham has seen six months straight in surging gun violence.
