Saturday afternoon, at broad daylight there was a shoting at Times Square. Some people, actually two brothers got into an argument and started to shoot at each other (nice family). A four year old little girl got injured in this thing.
This happened on Saturday. Times Square always has a pretty strong police presence, but Sunday and Monday, according to the news it was wall to wall police. I love this Monday morning quaterbacking. Do they really believe that if something bad happens the bad people will go back to the scene of the original crime?
Whenever something like this happens on the subway the police put extra patrols on that station or train assuming the culprits will return. They rarely do.
I am not a police expert but I do think they do this to ease their own minds and not to assure the public. Crime prevention is more important for us, common people than being protected against non existing dangers.
In the old gangster days, maybe in Chicago or New York there was a judge who that as long as these gangsters were killing each other it was all right but when innocent people got hurt that was a different thing (or something like it). I agree with this sentiment.
