This is absurd. My husband has called the police. Thanks a lot Ditmas Park Blog. Now I have people terrorizing me. You are lucky that no one got hurt.
I am officially afraid for my life. Why? Because I expressed my views on my own blog which is what I am entitled to do under the first amendment.
UPDATE: And yes we are wide awake.

Me too! PARTY!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your window. But unfortunately for your argument, you have no evidence to link DPB to your window.
Someone broke into my car a little while back, it would be a leap to accuse the financier I argued with that afternoon.
ps. now that I have a second, who lived in your house before you? Who did you replace?
Now the blog is to blame for a brick through your window you assume. Where's the proof? (Actually please don't post it).
ReplyDeletePlease, oh please drop the Ditmas Blog rant.
You'll do the opposite and draw sympathy for them, not yourself. I came back just to see if there was a response to my last post and now I regret it.
If there are no minority businesses and continual DP blog ranting then I'll believe this is not about the neighborhood and stop reading.
I think people who have behaviors and emotions/visceral reactions to everyday problems have a difficult time changing in adulthood.
I sincerely hope you get help even if you think you don't need it.
Please save yourself, not Ditmas Park. We're doing fine without this.
Good bye
This is terrible Bev. Give me a call on my cell phone tomorrow and let me know that everything is okay.
ReplyDeleteRecently, someone on DP blog posted that their car window was smashed and their stereo stolen. You told them this was how the neighborhood was before "whitey showed up and wanted to gentrify it." So why are you now complaining about a little brick through your window? You're a hypocrite.
ReplyDeleteOver the 30 years I've lived here bricks and stones have been thrown through the windows of homes on Ditmas and Dorchester by students of a local school on their way home. I never realized that the homes were targeted, but assumed that these were random acts by these youngsters.
ReplyDeleteA brick tossed through your window?
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to waste a good brick.
I just figured it out. Noslappz=Ben smith
ReplyDeleteNope. No_slappz isn't Ben but I do know which Anonymous is.
ReplyDeleteYes. I am Ben Smith.
ReplyDeleteA Tripple Shooting on E16th
ReplyDeleteThursday, April 8th, 2010
Wow. Last night. Again, this is in our neighborhood, not east Flatbush, as NY1 reports:
Police are on the hunt for suspects following a triple shooting in what residents describe as a normally-quiet neighborhood in Brooklyn.
The father of one of the victims tells NY1 his 31-year-old son, a 20-year-old nephew and a friend were shot just before midnight in the driveway of his home on East 16th Street in East Flatbush.
The father – who would not give his name – says the men were out enjoying the unseasonably warm weather.
His son was shot in the shoulder; the other men had gunshot wounds to the back and side. They were all transported to Kings County Hospital and are expected to survive.
Residents of the neighborhood say an incident like this is unusual for their neighborhood.
“The neighborhood has improved, still if you go out in the middle of the night it can be a difficult situation, no matter what kind of neighborhood you are in,” said one local resident. “But this neighborhood in particular, I grew up as a kid, I wasn’t too far from here, so I can just let you know this neighborhood has improved.”
“It is very nice and quiet,” said another. “No shooting, nothing; no troubles. This is unusual to happen in this neighborhood.”
The father says three men were seen running up Church Avenue after the shooting; however, the number of gunmen is unknown.
Police have not made any arrests.
Update:
According to Det. Scotto from the 70th Precinct, the shooting happened last night around 11:52pm in front of 60 E16th Street. All the victims are in stable condition at the Kings County hospital, detectives were interviewing them at the time we spoke. Police do not think that it is related to the stabbing at the Parade Grounds last Friday, they also do not believe that it was random.
More detail when we get it, if you have any information on the shooting, please call the local precinct at 718 851 5553.
