Three days later, the information was on the news, but no one shared it in our community. (See news)
This happened near St. Patrick’s Church, so the information should have been shared with the church as well. Women should be aware that that this happened, so they are alert and check their surroundings.
We didn’t have any politicians communicate with the community that this happened. Mrs. Gounardes and Mrs. Brannan shouldn’t be the only women in our community who are aware of this assault.
Whose speaking with the police and not giving a ‘heads up’ to the community. We don’t need to hear “Crime is down” from anyone when someone hurt a woman in our community.
We need new elected leaders that are focused on the community!
As we saw at the last Community Board 10 Meeting no one knows whom the Community Affairs officer from the 68th Precinct is. There is no officer present at the CB 10 Meetings any longer.
Why can they tell us this on social media, but not that a woman was attacked? In Fort Greene, Brooklyn a 71-year-old woman was punched on Friday. (See here)
