I believe a lot of these people committing these types of crimes are actually angry with themselves “ angry 😡 about the position in life that they are in ! Some of them responsible for the positions they find themselves in ! Because they were rebellious against those who tried to lead them in the right directions in life “ and some just hard headed! Some were probably put in bad situations by others “ and they are all upset at them selves! And taking it out on innocent 😇 people who have nothing to do with the positions they find themselves in ! Mad 😡 at life and upset when they see someone else making it and they’re not! We need to search 👀 inside ourselves and make the necessary changes in life to achieve a higher and happier standard of life! Sometimes we’re looking 👀 at life through the wrong lenses “ you have to look at things differently “ how about if they can do it “ I can do it ! We have to think 🤔 positively” and let GOD “ and common sense be our guide “ instead of being mad 😡 that you’re not where you want to be “ get where you want to be” with hard work and dedication we can and will be better and do better! Let GOD” lead you for once “ and stop 🛑 blaming others or letting other peoples way of life affect you negatively! With GOD “ all things are possible! Just try to concentrate on self improvement “ and stop giving up on yourself and giving in to the voices of the enemy “ you can be better and do better “ no matter what situation you find yourself in “ you and GOD” can always find a way OUT ! You have to love ❤️ yourself “ a lot of us hate ourselves and that’s who we’re really striking out at when you are committing violent acts such as these! You are worthy of so much more “ just remember “ bad things happen to good people all the time “ none of us are exempt from that “ the key 🔑 is don’t give up on yourself! Life ain’t easy “ you just gotta hang in there until you get your breakthrough! HOLLA 🙏🤙🏿🤷🏽‍♂️ !and thank you Jesus “🙏 that the victim “ was saved by some heroic bystanders !

The Homicides in NYC were much worse between 1970-2000 and that was mainly coming from those poverty stricken ghettos in the South Bronx, Harlem, Brownsville Brooklyn and a few other hell holes that have been greatly improved with gentrification.. But it some ways the overall state of the city is even worse, especially with all the disorder and those petty crimes and that most likely never even get counted on the official crime states..
