First of all, most of the killings and crimes that are occurring daily are done to and by people who are out closer to sunrise. Second, I grew up not far from Queensbridge and that complex has always (more than 60+ years) been a breeding ground for crime. You would think after all of these generations of people living there, SOMEBODY would say enough. Guess not.
