NYPD Shoot And Kill Knife Wielding Man in Times Square, Tourists Taking Pictures With His Blood Stains


NY Post - It’s the Big Apple’s newest — and goriest — tourist attraction. Visitors flocked to Seventh Avenue between 37th and 38th streets yesterday to take pictures of each other standing next to bloodstains on the sidewalk — left by the knife-wielding madman shot dead by cops a day earlier. “It’s amazing. It’s like, ‘Oh, my God!’ That’s so different than what we’re used to. It’s so gross,” said Abby Smith, 25, of the Scottish city of Edinburgh, which averages fewer than a dozen murders a year. Smith giddily snapped photo after photo of her traveling pal, Scott Ramsey, standing over the blood to show the folks back home. A German tourist named Alex, 18, also took a picture of the gruesome new hot spot — even as he wondered why no one had cleaned up the blood 24 hours after cops had gunned down Darrius Kennedy, 51, in a hail of bullets. “I think it’s strange. Yesterday, I saw the story on the news. I think it’s strange in all of those hours they didn’t clean it up. It’s disgusting!” Alex said. Some poor passers-by stepped right into it, leaving visible footprints, before they knew what it was — and then furiously scraped the soles of their shoes to clean off the gory residue. A class of 16 people on a tour sponsored by the New York Real Estate Institute stopped to walk around the mess amid shrieks of “Eeewww!” and “How disgusting!” The tour leader used the gruesome tableau as part of his lecture to his class. “I’m aghast that the [building] management agency hasn’t cleaned this up! It’s egregious that the city had left the building to clean up the sidewalk,’’ he griped. “It’s a health hazard, it’s unsafe! What if someone slipped and fell?” Student Yehuda Miller, 26, said they should have cleaned it up “out of basic human dignity. “A scene like this should be properly cleaned up. There’s a basic Jewish principle to clean up every particle. To clean up the scene is to show respect,” he said. Even jaded New Yorkers grew queasy at the sight of the blood in the street. “They should have cleaned it up. Why should people be walking in his blood?” wondered Stephanie Torres, who works nearby and heard the shooting at about 3 p.m. Saturday.
Now you’re in New Yorkkkkk! Concrete Jungle where you can walk through puddles of blood from knife wielding madmen shot to death by police officers! There’s nothing you can’t dooooooo!
Sounds like this shootout over the weekend was pretty fuckin wild huh? Just another reason to never ever go to Times Square. I mean I don’t know what I think is worse – the fact that you may stumble upon a lunatic waving a knife getting shot to death. Or the fact that if you’re walking through Times Square you may get stuck behind a group of Euro trash tourists who have stopped to take pictures next to blood stains on the ground. Its bad enough when they stop traffic on the sidewalks to take pictures of the buildings, now I gotta get stuck behind your whole family wearing fanny packs and Big Apple I <3 NY t shirts because you wanna snap some Polaroids of the ground? Get The Fuck Out Of My City! I’d rather a million Darrius Kennedy’s running around than you asshole foreigners clogging up my streets.

Obviously it’s way fucking worse to get stuck behind a group of eurotrash tourists. If the cops are already shooting the guy wielding the knife he’s obviously not going to bother you at all. If you run into a knife wielding lunatic at 1am in times sq though you’re probably fucked.
what an overrated and disgusting city
Fuggin black people

Is she talking about black people or the shooting?
nobody could grab a bucket of water and bleach and dump it on the sidewalk?
I am in NY about every other month and have been doing this for the past 8 or so years….And it has steadily gotten a bit seedier as the years have gone on….if Bloomberg keeps cutting the force, you can expect more and more incidents like this….it will be the 1980s all over again (and yes, I am old and I remember NY in the 80s…pre-Guiliani)….it was dangerous…..queue Crocodile Dundee clip…
Miami: if you think NYC is an “overrated and disgusting city” then you are doing it wrong. NYC is spectacular. There is a reason it is known the world over as one of the greatest cities on earth….(followed closely by Austin!!!!)
I can’t wait till it’s The Warriors style new york again. Me and Ajax got shove some baseball bats up some makeup wearing faggots’ asses
@christosterone been to NYC, miami has better drugs, better women, better sports teams, and is beautiful
F
Mifuckinami? Compared to NYC? That’s like comparing Neil with anyone articulate and witty. Maybe I hit Miami at a weird time because I wouldn’t even entertain the notion of going back to that fake shithole, or anywhere in Florida for that matter. If a fake city and beautiful women are your only criteria for a “great” city, go to LA. At least it really is beautiful and has great beaches.
i didn’t lose any sleep over it.
@miami: I dont do drugs, I am happily married, dont care which city has better sports, and I agree Miami is beautiful…..
