Remember all the cockroaches Rudy got rid of? Well, they're back.

Quote:New crime statistics show that murders and shootings are up in the city compared to the same period last year. And officials say that illegal marijuana deals appear to be playing a role. NY1’s Dean Meminger filed the following report.

The number of murders in the city has been declining for years, but 2015 is bucking the trend.

And the increase in murders isn't the only surprise this year.

The NYPD says the use of marijuana is a big business and has become a big problem. Police say a lot more people are getting shot and killed over pot, compared to cocaine and heroin.

"We are not seeing that type of issue, that type of violence related to those other drugs, but we are seeing it with marijuana,” said Police Commissioner Bratton.

While overall crime is down 11 percent in 2015, there were 54 murders in the first two months of the year, compared to 45 last year, a 20 percent increase.

There were 151 shootings, an increase of 20 percent as well.

The number of shooting victims this year, 170, is up from 140 at this time last year.

In fact, police say seven people have been killed so far this year because of drugs and all were because of weed.

Mas

Generic comment, because some posters won't stop bumping that f***ing gay marriage thread!!

Thank you Bill de Blasio!!!

The Mayor's of NYC are too busy worrying about how many ounces of soft drinks can be purchased/consumed than fighting crime and enforcing actual laws.

Show them what we can do! Show them how we can increase shootings by 20%! We're the progressive capital, show them how we lead!

Maybe De Blasio should implement the Dutch traffic violation laws. Fines are based on income, so a Wall Street investment banker could pay $10,000 for speeding 5mph over the limit and a McDonalds's cook $2 for going 25mph over the limit.

Do You deny that Black on Black Murders are not a Major problem in this Country ? A very Large percentage of Shootings and Stabbings are among this demographic group and a Solution Quickly needs to be found. BTW, It's Not a Subject to be Laughed at Nor taken lightly as Our Government seems to be doing.

Soon New Yorkers will be begging Rudy to run again
