Rochester, New York: Murder Capital Of New York State

Early today, two more men were murdered on the east side of the city in that semi-circle of poverty referred to as the "Fatal Crescent." That brings the total number of murders in Rochester so far for this year to 34.

[yep]

Who didn't see this coming ? Absolutely discusting.

Imagine if the rap concert was postponed from tonight.

Do you think there is a correlation between the high murder rate, extreme poverty, and low graduation rate for black males???

[CityRes]

And how is it the Murder Capital of NY???
Cause some stupid republican guy titles his blog that??? A guy who acts like he's a big city leader when he has only been in the city since 1994???

Give me a break.

Something is SERIOUSLY wrong in the city of Rochester.

Buffalo: 38

Rochesters very own Congress women Louise Slaughter deserves a lot of the credit.

Hey dummy, that's because Buffalo has a larger population than Rochester. Rochester got the title due to its murder rate per capita

Then Rochester should also get the title of Loser Capital for pitiful number of misses and mere wounding compared to the number of shot's fired YTD.

This shooting was not a typical Rochester shooting.
It happened in the suburb of W.Webster right on the lake, NOT in the city limits.
It involved a white shooter and white victims.
Not the typical black shooters and victims that Rochester is accustomed to.
This wasn't over drug dealing, gang activity, turf war, a woman, robbery or being dissed at a party - that normally precedes a Rochester shooting.

[who cares]

White or black a dead man is dead man, a life wasted, blks usually kill for a reason whites kill just because they snap!! Like New town Connecticut columbine the movie theater Virginia tech ect whites kill in one day what black kill in one year
