Nobody gave grown men something to do at 5 in the morning so they had no choice but to kill someone. The street is responsible. I live on a street too, but it never made me violent. I'm guessing the men posting here must have all had someone giving them something to do at all times growing up so they didn't have to commit murder.
The whole point of the Goofy cameras is for no one to watch them. Especially the ones outside the high school at 6 am.
The 'securit cameras' was just a 'fluff piece' for the gazette cheerleaders!! Can't wait until we read their spin on these shootings at the donut shop.
so now there are TWO additional shooters roaming around schenectady county who thinks that shooting at 'humans' is target practice and gives them something to do!! GOOD JOB!

A large part of Schenectady's crime problem can be laid at the feet of the DA's office (where McCarthy works) for not properly prosecuting violent crime, and local politicians, for going along with the unofficial state level plan to clean up NYC by shipping undesirables to upstate communities. The local media goes along with the fiction that all these people just moved here on their own because they felt like it. If someone feels they haven't been given enough opportunities, get on the #55 bus to downtown Albany and protest outside the Capitol with the others. Don't shoot each other and blame it on "nothing to do." People who support this mentality are to blame for this also, IMO.

The DA's office is more into 'plea bargaining' then they are into 'throwing the book at them'. That is one of the main reasons the drug dealers/addicts and scum move to schenectady. Well, only second to the lucrative welfare benefits. We have relatives that live in nyc and they say that schenectady is actually worse. And actually one of our relatives is a nyc cop!

We are kidding ourselves that some of our neighborhoods are any better than the bad parts of the Bronx. Goose Hill, lower Eastern Avenue (and spreading upward), Mont Pleasant, Hamilton Hill, Vale, Central State Street, McClellan below Eastern. Union Street is heading that way.

You hit the nail directly on the head with this one Madam X!
Try leaving the Stockade at Union Street - you'll see jay walkers, a rusted-out bridge to your left, graffiti EVERYWHERE (just look up at the train tracks), 2 ft. weeds and litter all over the place.
Another funeral SCHENECTADY Mourners express grief, fear killer won’t be caught Man shot to death a week ago; police probe continues BY BETHANY BUMP Gazette Reporter
Guests might have expected the grief etched on the faces of family and friends of 23-year-old Rashad Robinson, but an additional dimension of pain was visible Friday outside Refreshing Spring Church of God in Christ. It was one of undirected rage and doubt about whether the person who shot Robinson would ever be caught and justice would ever be served. Kelly Freeman hurried down Georgetta Dix Boulevard and away from the church in tears, as she struggled to catch her breath after just viewing the open casket of the young man she watched her sons grow up with. “I knew him since he was a little boy,” said Freeman, who proclaimed herself Robinson’s “second mom.” “My baby protected everybody. He was a loving person. He’d do anything for you. But don’t hurt anybody, don’t mess with anybody he loved, and then he was your worst nightmare.” Close friends and family knew Robinson as “Twin” — a loving moniker given to him as a tribute to him and his twin brother Robert, said Freeman. “I’ve always been there for him, always,” she said. “God, I just really want the person to be found. But God bless him when he goes to jail. God bless him.” Pastor Clarence Johnson said the community was in shock since learning that Rashad had been shot to death outside Joe’s Bar and Grill one week ago, on Nov. 12 shortly after 5 a.m. With the suspect still at large, they’re not only shocked but desperate for justice. Since Robinson’s shooting, the city’s third homicide this year and one of a handful of recent shootings, makeshift memorials have gone up on Fifth Street across from the bar. Some have signs that ask that the violence stop. Others posted at the intersection of Albany and Hulett streets, however, appear to call for retribution, with messages like “War Time Baby” and “Fire in the [expletive] hole.” That would be the worst response, said Johnson from inside his offi ce before Friday’s funeral service. “Retribution, revenge — that is not what should happen now because that only stirs up more anger,” Johnson said. “It increases animosity. It causes people to wonder how far the actual respect for one another has drifted.” The Albany Street intersection is where one of Robinson’s brothers, William Robinson, was accused of shooting Charles Taylor through the door of his car just one day after his brother’s death. William Robinson was charged with second-degree attempted murder, second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and fi rstdegree reckless endangerment. Lt. Mark McCracken said Friday that the Schenectady Police Department’s investigation into Taylor’s shooting is continuing and that he didn’t want to speculate about the motive behind it. “That investigation’s ongoing,” he said. “We’re investigating the possibility that they are connected, but that hasn’t been determined.” The brother’s arrest was a difficult turn of events for the family, Johnson said. “It’s very hard,” he said. “This is a double whammy for the mother; it’s a double whammy for the whole family because of the way it turned out. The members of the community are very, very upset about whatever is going on relative to this particular incident, and it just opens up wounds.” Family and friends inside the church Friday morning exchanged whispered fears that “the authorities” might show up. Police offi cers were on the scene across the street Friday, patrolling as the crowd gathered. Anguished wails pierced the church halls and lobby just prior to the start of calling hours. From the sidewalk, young kids wearing sweatshirts saying “Rest in Peace Big Brother” hugged one another, at times wiping tears from their faces. As of Friday afternoon, police said they have no suspect or motive yet in Robinson’s shooting. That no arrest has been made in connection with Robinson’s death made the day difficult and full of questions for those who came, said Pastor Johnson. “It makes them wonder whether the person will ever be caught,” he said. ..........................>>>>................................>>>>........................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01102&AppName=1
Suspect in Schenectady shooting captured in Md. BY KATHLEEN MOORE Gazette Reporter Reach Gazette reporter Kathleen Moore at 395-3120 or moore@dailygazette.com.
BALTIMORE — Good detective work put a U.S. Marshal’s task force in the right place at the right time to catch a murder suspect Thursday. Arrested was Rodney Davis, 22, of Brooklyn, who is accused of killing a Schenectady man and wounding two other people outside a Schenectady bar in 2011. Schenectady police determined that Davis was the shooter and gave details about him to the task force, which searched for him in Brooklyn. Then U.S. marshals learned Davis might have fled to Baltimore. They quickly sent a task force to that area. “And they just wound up grabbing him. They actually saw him walking down the street,” said Deputy U.S. Marshal William O’Toole. But it wasn’t entirely luck. “We did a lot of stuff up here. Some stuff just kind of came to light,” O’Toole said, staying vague to protect investigative details. “We sent them to a specifi c address.” Still, he said, luck must have played a part; the task force was in Baltimore for less than a week before catching sight of Davis. “I’m a big believer in luck. Luck is a big part of what we do,” he said. Davis was still being held in Baltimore Friday. He has been charged with seconddegree murder and is awaiting extradition to Schenectady. His next court appearance is Monday in Baltimore, and if he waives extradition, he could be in Schenectady within 10 days, O’Toole said. Police have been looking for Davis for a long time. They believe he fired into a crowd outside Joe’s Bar at 1306 Fifth St. on Nov. 13. Rashad Robinson, 23, of Schenectady, was killed. Two bystanders were also injured: George Lloyd, 23, of Schenectady, sustained a minor leg wound, and Shawn Coons, 28, of Rotterdam, was shot in the arm. That bullet nicked an artery, but Coons recovered. By law, Joe’s Bar was required to close by 4 a.m. When the shots rang out at 5:15 a.m., the bar was still open or had just closed, police said. .......................>>>>........................>>>>.....................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01202&AppName=1
