"End gun violence"? How about "stop criminals committing violence"?

What if you dont have a violent gun ? My gun is 37 years old and has never been violent once.

You couldn't pay me to be around 1k people, let alone a million

[mcskittlez]

But NYC has strict gun laws, how could this happen

[JohnSkyLey]

What happened to NYC's strict gun laws that target only law abiding citizens?? Why didnt that stop this?

These will be the same people complaining they can't do anything.

I stopped go to the parade year’s ago. It became stressful and a lot of anxiety being around many crowd and don’t know when some crazy going to happen.

[Markus-sv]

More than 3, I shall not be. I don't give a damn if they give away free Gold, it's not worth rolling the dice for.

[Shelver]

Why are you surprised? These people cannot control themselves.

[FullyAutomaticAddict]

[apborick]

Maybe it's time to reinstate Stop & Frisk.

[oneslice]

Terrible poor excuse for a human being😖❗

Celebration……… are you fucking kidding me. That parade as you call it has been complete savagery for as long as I can remember. From the night before “juve” to the parade which by any other standards should never take place. From unsafe “parade” floats to the unsafe conditions for attendees. If it were held to the same standards as every other “parade” that takes place in NYC it would never happen.
