OK so this all starts at Joan Peterson’s Twitter page where she links this news story.
There was panic in the emergency room at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital on Wednesday night. Cecilia Belle-Singleton was a patient inside when bullets started flying…A Bronx-Lebanon spokesperson said the fight stemmed from an altercation that a male patient in the ER had outside the hospital earlier in the day. The theory is whoever he had a fight with or people that knew about the fight must have came back to retaliate.
“An individual in our waiting room pulled out a concealed weapon and our security officers immediately went into action to prevent more seriously problems from occurring,” spokesperson Errol Schneer said….Bullets ricocheted off the ceiling as patients and staff ran for cover. Police said two men, a security guard and a nurse suffered superficial gunshot wounds. The suspects took off, but were quickly apprehended and were put in lineups outside the hospital for witnesses to identify.
I’m pretty sure NYC doesn’t have binding signage, as states that are severely draconian about who GETS a carry permit, aren’t very restrictive on WHERE one can carry. (You wouldn’t want to harass the Mayors cousin when he carries a gun into a posted store) But certainly this person didn’t have a permit. Also if this crime is consistent with the shit we see in Boston the perp is likely under the age of 21, and it doesn’t say WHY there was an altercation in an Emergency Room, but I’m guessing it was over the illegal vocation of the perp, or over acquiring certain recreational pharmaceuticals, and I’ll put money that this won’t be his first felony charge.
Of course the point of Joan’s tweet is the same idea as Collin Goddard’s message. A bad thing happened in this place with a gun…if we make EVERYPLACE like this place the world will be better.
Odd how they don’t have any such stories about various Open Carry protests or gun club social dinners, blog dinners, and other situations where you have lawful gun owners carrying their guns.
These people never hesitate to dance in the blood of victims, as “Gun Death” and “Gun Violence” are their currency that they use to push their agenda, is there any wonder why they push to make the law in your town or state the same as the towns and states that have such horrible violent crime problems?
If that’s the same Bronx I remember then the concept of being safe there is a joke.
As a younger person Id’ have to visit there, my grandma as the last of holdout in Ft-Apache. That was one dangerous in the 70s place and I can’t imagine it safe now.
Add to that NYC having a total band on guns save for the privledged..
Of course cource the twit twittering likely has not been within any distance of the place and has no idea of it’s history or level of violence. Then again denial is powerful.
Eck!
