little2add Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Remember the druggist in the “it’s a wonderful life” movie. He mixed up poison in the prescription because he was so distraught over his son dying of influenza. If you look closely at the telegraph in the movie it’s dated May 3, 1919. The Spanish flu... was even mor deadly that todays COVID-19, one hundred years latter Edited July 20, 2020 by little2add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A perfect storm of COVID-19 shutdowns within the judicial system (which have shunted indictments against the most dangerous illegal gun criminals), a breakdown in the city’s social safety nets (which has prisoners being released from jail straight into homelessness), and bail reform laws and case deferments have all hindered the NYPD’s efforts to staunch the bleeding, Shea believes. "We cannot keep people safe without keeping bad, dangerous, people off the streets,” Shea said. "You have a criminal justice system that's imploding. That’s the kindest way to put it.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutenickname Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I am a born and raised New Yorker. What is happening in this city is driven by 1) the unwise decision to release criminals onto the streets 2) this country's insane and suicidal gun laws 3) the despair that comes from poverty. The men committing these crimes will be prosecuted and convicted. The men who killed Philando Castile (a Catholic), Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, et al did so while being paid out of public funds to keep them safe. If the scandal and undisguised vulgarity of that is not obvious to you, I simply don't know what to tell you. I won't respond further, because patience is not one of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) I have in great abundance. Pray for me.
