Is anyone surprised?
Really, what do you expect from the types of people that go into homeless shelters.
And this is why communities do not want these places in their neighborhoods. Some communities already have bottom of the barrel people, they do not need even more added.
this shelter is not that far from that other project averne by the sea.
unfortunately,because of the times and the lack of housing for working people with responsibilities,these shelters are necessary.also unfortunately,the good for nothings and the unrehabitable wind up tagging along.
At least the cops are on these thugs,and doing it quite efficiently without trampling on civil rights.You don't hear about that on the news.
DeBlasio campaigned in part on these type of warehouse shelters being bad. But instead of closing them down, he's opening more. A total lying putz.
Why was an individual with a warrent in the homeless shelter? That person has a home, Rikers Island. I hope everyone in Rockaway remembers to thank their elected politicians on Election day.
People born in Queens and all of NYC can't afford to live here anymore, but these lowlifes are living on the taxpayers dime. Rent free, on food stamps, got lots of free time to hunt down crack.
Don't offer, give them a one way bus ticket far away. Let's see if they can get away with this nonsense anywhere outside of Rockaway. I hear that the Dominican Republic and Mexico is very nice this time of year.
