And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. Eccl.3:16
"The vilest of criminals, when
thrown into prison for their offenses, are often made the recipients of gifts
and attentions as if they had attained an enviable distinction.
Great publicity is
given to their character and crimes.
The press publishes the revolting details
of vice, thus initiating others into the practice of fraud, robbery, and
murder; and Satan exults in the success of his hellish schemes. The infatuation
of vice, the wanton taking of life, the terrible increase of intemperance and
iniquity of every order and degree, should arouse all who fear God, to inquire
what can be done to stay the tide of evil." E.G.W.

"A madman disguised as a construction worker turned a Brooklyn subway
car into a bloodbath during the early-morning rush Tuesday, setting off
smoke bombs before opening fire and wounding 29, 
officials said.
The shooter — was wearing a neon
orange and green construction vest and a neon green helmet and muttering
to himself on a Manhattan-bound N train when he unleashed bloody havoc
just before 8:30 a.m.
The gunman suddenly put on a gas mask and released two smoke grenades
as the car pulled into the 36th Street station in Sunset Park, cops
said.
“Oops, my bad,” the suspect mumbled, according to witness Fitim 
Gjeloshi, after opening the canister and then pulling out an ax and dropping it to the floor......Frank James — who warned last month that he was “entering the danger
zone” — rented a U-Haul van tied to the N train attack in Sunset Park......“These white motherf—ers, this is what they do,” he said. “Ultimately
at the end of the day, they kill and commit genocide against each
other. What do you think they gonna do to your black a**?”
In his rambling conspiracy theory, James claimed that a race war would follow the ongoing conflict in Europe.
“It’s just a matter of time before these white motherf—ers decide,
‘Hey listen. Enough is enough. These n—ers got to go,'” he said." NYP

"Three people were killed and at least 13 others were wounded in a 
series
of shootings that rocked parts of the Bronx and Brooklyn late Tuesday
and early Wednesday, police and sources said.
“Another nice day. Everybody’s out in the street, and everybody’s getting shot,” a Brooklyn cop told The Post. “No one is safe.”
Back in the Bronx 23-year-old Sally Ntim died
after she was shot in the head at the intersection of Sheridan Avenue

"More than a dozen Los Angeles gangs are targeting some of the city's
wealthiest residents in a new and aggressive manner, sending out crews
in multiple cars to find, follow and rob people driving 
high-end
vehicles or wearing expensive jewelry, according to police.
In some cases, suspects have been arrested but then released from
custody, according to police, only to commit additional robberies.
Those
are among the conclusions of a Los Angeles Police Department task force
convened at the end of last year to identify the cause of a sudden surge in "follow-home," or "follow-off," robberies,
so called because victims are robbed soon after leaving luxury
boutiques and hotels, ritzy restaurants, trendy nightclubs and other
locations where the gangs are scouting for targets." Yahoo
