Creative Apartment Roof Use

2005_02_policebadge.jpg

As many people exhaust utilizing all the space possible in their apartments, sometimes the clutter can fill to the hall and other common places. And sure, the apartment building roof might not be sanctioned for barbecues, but no one really minds, do they? But Gothamist thinks that storing a cache of weapons on the roof is pretty ballsy. After Julio Negron shot at another driver during a traffic dispute over the weekend, the police went to arrest Negron. Then his neighbors said people had been trying to get into their buliding via the one next door, leading the police to discover "fake NYPD badges, handguns, a shotgun, BB guns, a semiautomatic rifle, containers of Mace, two bulletproof vests, handcuffs, lots of ammunition and $10,000 in counterfeit cash plus other amounts of genuine U.S. currency" in garbage bags on the roof. The Post reports that Negron and two others were charged with weapons possession; what his landlord will do.

Does Jen Chung have dyslexia? I mean, that's cool if she does, I'm not trying to make fun of someone with a learning disability, but I'd just like to identify the affliction if it exists. Because almost every post has some sort of spelling or grammatical error.

I wish we were all as grammatically empowered as the english critics here.
Meanwhile, back on topic:

They also found Tasers and several axes and swords in Negron's second-floor apartment

Scary. I bet the neighbors avoided this fellow.

I wonder if that was the first time Julio Negron shot someone? I bet they run all his weapons thru every test imaginable.

i'm so over all the jack*sses that post "grammar and spelling" jabs. it's the f*cking web, and this is a blog. if you understood the message, and understood it quickly, then be happy and thankful that you just absorbed this information so quickly and were not thrown off by a mis-key.
