Man killed in Astoria by stray bullet

From the NY Post:

A merchant mariner visiting friends in his old neighborhood was killed early yesterday when a gunman fired wildly into a crowd outside a trendy Queens club, sources said.

Moore, 29, had just finished a night out with his brother, Eric, 27, and pals at the RSVP Lounge in Astoria at about 4 a.m. when they heard shots, said the victim’s devastated girlfriend, Chi Chi Wymes, 28.

Moore, a general vessel assistant previously stationed in the Middle East, later died at Mount Sinai Hospital of Queens.

The shooter’s target outside the hot spot on Broadway and 43rd Street was one of Moore’s friends, stemming from an argument that originated in the Queensbridge Houses, police sources said.

That friend was wounded in the melee, the sources said.

Nothing good ever happens outside a club at 4 A.M.

Fire up the needle & spare me the liberal bullshit as to why the death penalty is not a deterrent.

I'd love to have the apartment right above this venue. Ah, just what the doctor ordered - a nice cozy night's sleep.

Let's cut the pc bs, this is the work of a black obviously. If a white person did this then maybe I would start to worry, but this is typical behavior for a certain group of people.

Maybe Chi Chi can run for city council in 2011.

When life hands you a lemon, use it to make lemonade.

1990(2,245 murders) was a lot worse then it is now, but the trend is for the worse these days.

I remember Governor Cuomo saying once "let them all kill each other."

What a ridiculous fucking comment to make. Who the fuck cares who's making crime go up - the fact is - IT IS - and it's precisely because shitbags in this country voted for Bush, who destroyed our economy by handing it over to the rich and to China and shitbags voted for Bloomberg who destroyed this city by handing it over to the rich and to the illegal aliens.

Oh where or where is Mr Chairman of City Council's Public Safety Committee - oh there he is, keeping busy with some convoluted real estate deal! Can't let stuff like bodies on the street distract us from the real business of ... governement.

My fav: Astoria is so safe that we don't need much cops which is why there has been a spike of crime in the community

(and the kind of local logic that sort of explains why the local politicans routinely 80-90% of the vote as a reward for their excellent public service)

In regards to the comment that "this is the work of a black obviously" ....solidifies the fact that somewhere in America, a village is definitely missing an idiot! You freaking fool, the bottom line up front is that an innocent individual lost his life! My dear cousin, Derrick Moore, lost his life unnecessarily!!!!! U on the other hand are still here on this earth wastefully soaking up the air that so many others deserve.

To last poster:

one thing I learned in the military: black, white, yellow, green, we all bleed red.

Maybe, but unfortuatelythat immediate area is still somewhat somewhat, (maybe not predominately anymore) white. Scary to know who is going to the clubs in your neighborhood.

Tear down the projects with the people in them. All that beautiful waterfront property can be used for hardworking, honest people. No more public housing!!!
