A City’s Got to Know Its Limitations

We are constrained by the recent United States Supreme Court decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v Bruen (597 US _, 142 SCt 2111 [2022]) which mandates the grant of this CPLR article 78 petition. Specifically, in Bruen , the United States Supreme Court held that denial of a license applications for failing to satisfy New York’s “proper cause” standard, under which the applicants had to demonstrate a special need for self-protection distinguishable from that of the general community, was unconstitutional as violative of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which protects an individual’s fundamental right to keep a firearm, and the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which makes this right equally applicable throughout the states. THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT. [More]

“Callahan” seems such an appropriate name here.

New York, New York, It’s a Wonderful Town!

Sickening moment man knocks shopper, 36, out cold in random one-punch attack from behind at New York City mall… before security guard wanders past unconscious body and does NOTHING [More]

That, of course, is attempted murder. What do you do with someone who can’t be trusted with his hands?

I like the way the perp’s lookin’ like a fool with his pants on the ground as he cheats paying for parking. You get the feeling there’s no law these amoral mutts won’t break at any moment as a matter of self-entitlement.

I see the Eloi won’t involve themselves either… then again, why should they?
