I’m sorry, there was a sniper killing people for 3 years?? I’m sure the victims got no help from police whatsoever being the 1980s. I can’t imagine feeling so helpless.

So 6 victims and no deaths over 4 months. Less crazy for sure but could have been better.

That’s a different story. That link points to something that happened in Brooklyn (Bensonhurst), whereas the post is referencing something that allegedly happened in Manhattan (Lower East Side).

And last week, the police halted the special patrol. The reason: ‘‘Manpower,’’ says Capt. Carl J. Greco, of the 62d Precinct. ‘‘We have other needs elsewhere,’’ he says. ‘‘We just hope that our leaving won’t precipitate another rash.’’ Some residents of the building remain anxious, however. ‘‘I still look up at the windows when I walk by,’’ says one, Ida Schulberg. ‘‘I still wonder if they’re biding their time.’’

That’s horrifying.

I was walking up Avenue B at 5am after a bartending shift. There was no one else on the street except for one guy several blocks ahead running full force in my direction. I just kept walking confidently, bracing myself for what might be about to happen. Just when our paths were about to cross he ducked down E 6th St, dropped trou and took an explosive shit. He just couldn’t hold in any more.

The eel lady better make that eel as soon as she gets home. For eel it’s best to cook it immediately after killing it.

That eel story just sounds grisly. If I saw someone murk a wild animal that large by hand, even one intended for a meal, on the street in broad daylight, I’d probably audibly mutter “wtf”
