what part of queens?? i think you mentioned that to me before but forget.

1 or 2 thoughts from that article. That article states the below
------------
Murders, shootings and several other crimes increased significantly across the five boroughs in July 2022 compared to the same time last year, according to NYPD statistics released Friday.

The number of murders across the five boroughs in July leaped from 35 last year to 47 in 2022, an increase of 34.3%, NYPD data shows.
----------------------------------------------

Unsure if matters but those numbers were down because of covid? then covid and restrictions were lifted. That may be a reason for the increase

2ndly-- the percentages are misleading--- dude it went from 35 to 47 ... thats an increase of 12. your talking 12 more instances!!! lol. every instance is bad but that number is an increase of 12. Not 100 not 500 .. 12

Deep into Queens out near Forest Hills.

There was a greater increase in crime in NYC in 2020 during the Summer of Floyd. Some crimes have decreased in following years, but the New Normal is a Bad Normal.

New York City and its Police Department were buffeted by conflicting forces in 2020, as a historic low in overall index crime was accompanied by significant upticks in homicides, shootings, burglaries and car thefts.

At the same time, the NYPD in 2020 confronted a + 97% (1,531 v. 777) increase in shooting incidents and + 44% increase in the number of murders (462 v. 319)

Yeah, it's only murder. Nothing too important.

The race between Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock and Trump-backed Republican Herschel Walker in Georgia will be decided in a runoff on 6 December.

In Nevada, Democrat Chatherine Cortez Masto is trailing republican Adam Laxalt, but still has a chance of winning as more votes are tallied.

And in Arizona, it may be a while before it becomes clear whether Democrat Mark Kelly will maintain his lead over Republican Blake Masters, though things are looking promising for the former.

Democrats can keep control of the chamber by winning just two races and having vice-president Kamala Harris as a tie-breaking vote.

so its 50-49 and with the run off in Georgia set for next month
even IF the Republican's win there, the vice president has a vote to break the tie in the Senate
