There’s Nothing Like Family
Brooklyn, NY
An 18-year-old area man was taken into custody last week for allegedly shooting his 23-year-old uncle, police said.
Officials said that both men were inside their home on the 200 block of East 89th Street on December 18 when the unnamed 18-year-old allegedly said something rude to their grandmother.
Police were told that the 23-year-old yelled at his nephew, demanding that he stopped disrespecting the family matriarch when the 18-year-old allegedly pulled a gun, shooting his uncle in the torso.
The uncle was taken to Brookdale Hospital where he was listed in stable condition after treatment.
Charges against the 18-year-old were pending as this paper went to press.

I love how everything is “alleged” when you’ve got an eyewitness and a victim — with a fresh, bleeding gunshot wound — telling the same story. I’ll bet Jr. Jerk-Off still had the gun in his possession, too. And charges are STILL pending? WTF?

The family probably can’t decide whether to even PRESS charges…

Well, I really don’t know what people expect, we aren’t allowed to punish our kids these day and teach them anything about respect.. if we lay a hand on them, its child abuse, so look at your fellow leaders for this happening… think about it, the school shootings and all, that didn’t happen when I was a kid, cause if you f**ed up, it was a beating with a belt across the bum… now if parents do that, its go to jail, do not collect 200.00, do not pass GO….

How can a family enven think about not charging pressing charges. I mean, future family reunions would be unthinkably risky if you had wo worry about a teen ager pulling a weapon. If the kids wants to shoot people so badly why not put him in the military. If they can’t straighten him out no one can.
