The NYPD reports that 23 persons have been shot in Brownsville so far this year.

“People act as though they don’t care, there’s nothing to do here, it’s just the same old, same old all day, every day,” a resident of Brownsville remarked.

It all appears dilapidated and devoid of promise. This is what happens when people are left with nothing to do.”
