You are not protected by your zip code. Mother walking with baby stroller fatally shot in NYC
A young mother pushing her 3-month-old infant in a stroller was fatally shot Wednesday night on an Upper East Side street, police and law enforcement sources said.
The police are saying that they don't have a motive. Random violence seldom has what one would call a motive.
Meanwhile, the politicians are shocked.
Councilwoman Julie Menin said in a tweet, “To think that this incident happened in front of a school with a mother pushing her baby in a stroller is beyond comprehension.”
Cue the video clip from The Princess Bride featuring the word "Inconceivable!"
Society is built on law and order. And that has been systematically destroyed in places like Manhattan, Chicago, and other large cities.
Here is my usual reference to Hobbes' State of War, which exists after the breakdown of law and order. It is characterized by a "continual fear and danger of violent death." I would say that people of the Upper East Side are now experiencing that fear.
