NYCCR CENSORED - BECAUSE I’M BROWN

KILLERS DUMPED A FLAMING CORPSE IN A SHOPPING CART ON A BRIDGE IN YONKERS. NO PARTICULAR REASON. INVESTIGATORS FOUND THAT THE BODY, SHOPPING CART AND ALL WERE TRANSPORTED FROM THE BRONX TO YONKERS ON A COMMUTER TRAIN. NOTHING TO SEE HERE. IN KIPS BAY, SURVEILLANCE VIDEO SHOWED A GUY IN A WHEELCHAIR DISPOSING OF A BODY INSIDE A SLEEPING BAG ALONG WITH THE STREET TRASH. WHEN POLICE ARRESTED THE GUY AT HIS HOME, THEY HAD TROUBLE TAKING HIM BECAUSE DOZENS OF ANGRY NEIGHBORS HAD GATHERED, WITH MANY ATTEMPTING TO BEAT HIS ASS EVEN WHILE HE WAS BEING TAKEN TO JAIL. AFTER A WEIRDLY INCOHERENT WHITE GIRL ATTACKS HER UBER DRIVER WITH PEPPER SPRAY, THE VICTIM AND MEDIA BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO MAKE IT A HATE CRIME "BECAUSE," THE DRIVER SAID, "I'M BROWN." DOUG NELSON'S "NEW YORK POST STORIES" TACKLE THE TALE OF A PIECE OF SHIT TYPE GUNMAN WHO LIKED SHOOTING PEOPLE SO MUCH, HE EVEN SHOT HIS OWN SISTER. PLUS A QUICK LOOK BACK AT SUMMER 1977, WHEN A RELIEVED NYC TURNED THE LIGHTS BACK ON AFTER A 24-HR BLACKOUT. ON THE WHOLE, IT WAS FAR LESS DAMAGING THAN THE SUMMER-LONG BLACKOUT OF 2020.
