This year's prior Harlem shooting rampages were all over the news. The Media is in the business of making money, not reporting the news. EMS is right, if Suzie gets shot on 88th and 2nd, then the hammer falls. Why is that? <BR/>Part of the reason is the entire neighborhood is on the phone to 311, the press outlets, their religious leaders, and everyone one else they can reach about it. This occurs without having a mechanism in place to orchestrate it. How many folks in Harlem flooded both the press and the mayors office with complaints about these shootings and the rising gun violence in Harlem? Regardless of what maybe perceive as a bias towards our community, the fact is that action does bring results if supported by the numbers. Every call into 311 is statistically counted. Large numbers of calls end up on a list to be explained what happened and why. No calls, no action. Same with the press outlets. 300 calls to a news paper ensures it get printed and blogged. It's not very complicated. You hold these people accountable for what happens in Harlem and they'll take an interest. The other part of the problem is harder to fix. Why does this community allow their children to have, carry and use guns? Join Gangs? act like thugs? We got to start fixing the problem from within. Can't blame other folks for what happens with our own children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897492.post-67422830951570776392008-09-24T22:32:00.000-04:002008-09-24T22:32:00.000-04:00Black youth outa control?.....Daily News report he...Black youth outa control?.....<BR/><BR/>Daily News report here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2008/09/23/2008-09-23_dozen_arrested_after_africanamerican_day.html<BR/><BR/><BR/>a cop's blog:<BR/><BR/>http://www.copinthehood.com/search/label/african-american%20day%20parade<BR/><BR/><BR/>..."kids gon wild again" back on Easter Sunday here:<BR/><BR/>http://wcbstv.com/topstories/new.roc.city.2.243536.html<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>or hear it from the horse's mouth:<BR/><BR/>http://uptownboyz.blogspot.com/2007/09/easter-night-new-roc-city.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897492.post-39280718262504595672008-09-24T20:15:00.000-04:002008-09-24T20:15:00.000-04:00http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2008/09/2...http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2008/09/23/2008-09-23_dozen_arrested_after_africanamerican_day.html.......U CAN READ THE ARTICLE HEREAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897492.post-70610878779489096732008-09-24T11:48:00.000-04:002008-09-24T11:48:00.000-04:00I work in EMS in harlem and Washington Heights.

But if Suzi from 88th and 2nd gets shot its days of frenzy in the media. I would love it everyday there is an incident people knew about it. As far as the response time, there was not enough units to cover what was going on that night. From 9pm on it was insanity. Go back to Labor Day wknd as well. Where was all that coverage???

I too had no idea what was going on. The media really dropped the ball on this one.<BR/><BR/>And on calling the events as a war zone, I thought the same thing earlier in the day when I saw the line of police vehicles on 110th St. It looked more like something out of Generation Kill than what I think of as my neighborhood. I was half expecting Sgt. Brad Colbert to rap the side of the lead vehicle and tell the convoy to move out.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143841531314657084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23897492.post-19700177928705786662008-09-23T12:15:00.000-04:002008-09-23T12:15:00.000-04:00Amazing this wasn't news.
