New Havana is a "sactuary City" what should we expect?
Even if the people involved are not illegals, the fact that laws are so disregarded at so many levels creates the atmosphere for such to happen and be tolerated.

This is why it's called "Pistol Waving New Haven". So sad for the families that are affected by the senseless violence.

It's not called Gun Wavin' New Haven for nothing...I don't think that I haven't gone to work in New Haven for a week doing EMS and there hasn't been a shooting...its absurd. And the cops don't care either. Get Destefano OUT...

I'm a single parent of a 18 year old and i worry about him every day. Everyone is worrying about the war in iraq when were having war right here on the streets of New Haven, I feel deeply that in the run down neighborhoods no one gives a dam and im just one voice. I want to see better for our neighborhoods, but like they say it takes a village to raise a kid and the parents of these kids are getting younger and younger. And to be honest our kids do mess it up for people who want to better the neigborhood. I vote, and also encourage other people to vote. Our youth need better options, give up people, give tghe guns up, what happens when they do that and others want to retaliate, thats what kids are worried about now (squealing) in other words being a snitch. Society is screwed up everyone is just looking out for their own (not good). What does a comunity really mean? Desperate in New Haven

How to solve the problem:
1. Curfew
2. Hold parents responsible for children's behavior. If a kid breaks the law, kid AND parent do community service.
3. Using DNA testing, find the father of these kids and hold him responsible. If he doesn't have a job, put him to work picking up trash, road construction, graffiti clean-up, whatever.
4. Strictly Enforce existing gun laws. There are plenty of them.
5. New Haven police MUST live in New Haven That way they will care about it.
6. Deputize responsible citizens.
I'm sure there are other ideas as well...

New Haven is a "sactuary City" like SF, Ca.
are they illegal’s we have a right to know and the news paper co. should find this out to see if we're facing the same thing SF, Ca is going thru.

Dear 2XChick:
This story is pretty funny. I am so glad that there will be a wake. My fraternity brothers and I will be tailgating in the parking lot of the funeral home, shotgunning Colt 45's and setting off roman candle fireworks. We will have a nice spread of burgers, dogs and kielbasa. Then, after firing down 12 cold ones, we will proceed to use "E"'s casket as a urinal. Hopefully, this will be well received.
Will there be any ice "cream"?

Is it really necessary for you to use the option to comment as your personal blog spot? You're NOT funny, it is very disrespectful, & it seems a little racist.... Here you are making a fool of yourself, and you dont even know him, his family, nor do you know the pain these people are feeling!! Cut the ****!! Lets face it, it could be you or your family going through this & how would you like people disrespecting you?? What people should be commenting about is how the police need to find the **** that did this to him!! It doesn't get any worse than this be killed infront of your home..
Dom da dummy you need a life!!! i bet you get a kick out of this until it happens to you or someone close to you!! I also can put money that you absolutely have no life.. you wake up just to see what people have to say, then you think real hard about what horrible things to say so that people will respond, well people need to pay ignorance no mind!!

RIP "PUMP"

Here is the Playbill:
The first murder will be 8 p.m. with a midnight show as well.
Tomorrow will be a matinee murder at 2 p.m. Followed by a delightful dinner time hit and run. Desert will feature a group melee outside a club somewhere. We'll cap the evening with some child abuse and a house full of dead cats!
