Wingman Violence
From today’s NYT:
There were two shooting incidents last night, one on Fulton Street in which two teenagers were shot, neither life threatening, and one incident on Flatbush and Fulton Street, also non-life-threatening. There was also a stabbing in the vicinity of the Atlantic Center Mall. All incidents, although not directly related, were the result of a promotion for all high school kids from several schools throughout the borough to meet at Buffalo Wild Wings for a 40-cent wing promotion.(No school today.) Although there was a huge police presence at the mall to address the condition and turn the thousands of students away and send them back home, apparently a few rogue groups managed to cause trouble while heading home.
Sent to me by M, who says, “Now, I’m sorry: I know it’s New York and everything, but 40-cent wings are just not that great of a deal.”
