I love the story on News Chanel 9 about this event where they interviewed a ‘friend’ of the victim. Sounds like love triangle gone wrong. In the interview the friend makes the comment This ain’t the first time. This ain’t the second time this happened. If they want their establishment to keep on going, they better step their game up,” the friend said. I have to strongly disagree. The Sting isn’t at fault that these thug wanna be losers are here from Rochester, NYC or Syracuse. Thank your previous mayor for taking all the money to build housing for these displaced thugs. The fix is to get back to charging, convicting, locking up and throwing away the keys on these idiots. Enough of the bail reform soft on crime crap. New gun laws clearly don’t work. Enforce what we have for once. Stop taking free hand outs for rent and bounce these clowns from the city before it is really too late, we are getting close.
