Yet in the narrow world these teenagers inhabit, in the poorest patches of Bedford-Stuyvesant, East New York and Brownsville, Brooklyn, violence is as thick as smog, alliances as fluid as water, quarrels as big as the Internet.
Poor little chilrens. We need to steal more money for the inner city goons.
The police identified him as Kathon, but his lawyer and family said his name is Kahton (pronounced kah-TAHN).
Now that we know the proper pronunciation the propagandist can use his first name throughout the propaganda piece.
He lived in a small, tidy apartment on Gates Avenue with his mother, a United States Postal Service letter carrier
99.98% chance mother is democrat voter. Why do democrats or their children always killing innocent people with guns. If we just made selling guns to leftists illegal gun violence would go down to next to nothing. Another thing, this NYC with leftists in control and the state's new draconian gun law and yet a fine black teenager (probably an honor student, they all are) get a gun. Besides murder Cotton had to have broke tens of laws in possessing the gun.
After school, he would stop at the bodega for a can of mango-flavored Arizona Iced Tea and packs of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups to share.
Just another good natured youf who liked Arizona Iced Tea and candy. This propagandist is trying too damn hard.
Several students at M.S. 57 said Kahton had been president of the student council and took honors classes. Yet he was frequently in trouble. Sometimes it was for violating the school’s uniform code or disrespectful chatter in class, a school official said. Sometimes it was worse: He had a sealed arrest from 2011
I can't see them like Rush but you know that was coming. It's almost like the propagandists have some kind of template or something...nah.
But he seemed to do no better at Elijah Stroud, where he had been suspended from the early fall until very recently
It is amazing how a class clown, gang member that has been suspended became an honor student. I must be too old to understand what affirmative action has done to the term "Honor Student."
It is an environment where petty slights, from a challenging glance to jealousies over a girl, have enormous consequences. A territorial battle between Marcy and Tompkins crews left one teenager dead and three more injured in July. Several members of S.M.G. and Twan Family have been shot in the past, and the crews exchanged gunfire at least once within the past month, Mr. LiPetri said.
This ladies and gentlemen is what we get when "multiculturalism" is put into place. Thank you progressives. You seem to have made life much better for the poor, minorities, and women. Which BTW, are hit hardest by progressive policies.
That's it for me on the fisk. The old SOvs at Pravda would give that article a standing ovation. Well done newspaper of record.
