For a city that prides itself on low homicide rates, a 16 percent increase in murders in New York this year is a grim number.
Gangs with guns and drug dealers are to blame for most murders in the city but Miguel told 1010 WINS’ John Montone he feels pretty safe in his West Farms, Bronx, neighborhood.
In fact, police say the Bronx is the borough where a person is most likely to be murdered, Montone reported, and East New York is the neighborhood with the highest rate of homicides.

You got what you asked for! The criminals need to fear the law because they don't respect it. By early august they will be wringing their hands saying something has to be done about the youts shooting each other. Expect around at least 800 homicides this year. The good news,most that get killed won't be missed.......but there will be the innocents who will pay the price also. The skells know they have the advantage with herr wilhelm in office.
The Bronx is the wild west especially with all those low lives living there.
Sounds good to me. What did everyone think was going to happen when we stopped stop and frisk and bashed the cops all the time? Its actually a positive because most who are killed are drug dealers with benefit cards leaching off the taxpayers anyway.
So the majority of murders occur in black communities? Shocking.
# black lives matter
What time are the protests going to be held denouncing black on black killing?
Why is this a surprise to anyone? Stop and frisk was stopped. There are thousands more guns in the city than there were previously, with more coming in each day.
The article points out that the overall crime rate is down year to year.
yes, and the ultimate crime is murder
Instead of saying murder is up 16 percent liberals should say the Population SHRANK 16 percent
See now I turned a negative into a Positive.....Go Blas!!!!
The cops love to take the credit when the homicide rate is low. Are they going to take the blame now that it is increasing?

It wouldn't be 16 percent. The 16 percent is an increase number over last year's rate.
The population would be a much larger number, the fact that 20 or so deaths (16 percent of 500, divided by 4-a quarter of 2015) would be a very small percentage, in the range of 2/10,000 percent. (20/8.5 million).
No more stop and frisk = more guns = more deaths. BUT it should be harder for a law abiding person to arm themselves = more deaths. Can't have it both ways.
Simple solution: Allow law abiding legal citizens to be armed if they wish.
When criminals dont know who's armed and who isn't they move on elsewhere in fear of being blown away.
There have been a lot of stories lately about how the cops don't do anything despite various calls. It makes me wonder if the slow down has unofficially continued.
As for the murder rates going up, I never suspected they went down because in precincts where a lot of gentrification happened, fudging the crime stats and downgrading offenses was procedure and suddenly areas like bed-stuy was premium real estate. No doubt egged on by the fun size's mayor developer and land speculator pals.
And here we are today, but these are different times since everyone is connected thanks to the virus of social networking. And also thanks to overpopulation, there are just to many people to police. And to the apparent death of shame, as resorts world, mcdonalds and that new years eve block party showed (remember that one?)
Cops have to protect the public. They are not obliged to protect the individual . Don't be a sheep ,you can legally own a shotgun in nyc. Get One,learn how to use it . I prefer a 20 gauge for home defense.......
