  • Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: serious trauma on 51st St. in Brooklyn, a missing person on 90th St. and Amsterdam Ave. in Manhattan, and a large fight at 1087 Broadway in Brooklyn.
  • A Brooklyn high school student was stabbed to death yesterday after school. The fatal injury occurred as he was attempting to rob another kid on a playground.
  • Don Imus will be returning to the air with a "sidekick," who is black.
  • The police are taking her at her word, but it appears that a woman may have faked a violent attack against herself as an excuse to not repay her mother $800. The allegedly faked assault involved using "Krazy Glue" to seal her eyes and mouth shut.
  • Today is World AIDS Day, with demonstrations last night and this afternoon emphasizing prevention to halt the spread of HIV.
  • Barack Obama tipped his waitress almost 60% on the $17 check he covered having lunch with Mayor Bloomberg.
  • Customers who are owed refunds by the furniture chain are not lovin' it at Levitz. The company filed for bankruptcy and checks are bouncing.
  • Some tourists are booking expensive rooms on the Upper West Side only to arrive and find out they've just rented space in some woman's apartment, and she has no idea what they are talking about. NYC scams are alive and well apparently.

    Really makes a lot of sense to book a place in New York where the only form of communication is through email. Only dumb people fall for scams.

    Councilman Felder probably hates this New Yorker.

    JB,



    I would tip 75% if it wan't my money. Bloomberg probably payed for the grits anyway. Was watermelon the breakfast desert?

    where's al sharpton at when that story of the white kid who put a burning cross on the yard of a black student in Cortlandt manor.

    CORTLANDT, N.Y. -- State police arrested a 21-year-old white man on a hate crime charge Thursday in connection with a burning cross found last week in the front yard of a black family.



    The suspect is the brother of a girl who was involved in a school fight with a black boy from the family just hours before the cross appeared, Capt. Keith Corlett said at a news conference.



    Christopher Hudak of Cortlandt Manor was charged with aggravated harassment, Corlett said. Westchester District Attorney Janet DiFiore said the case would be prosecuted as a hate crime.

    That's really a heart rendering story where the kid got done in by a friend of another in Bed Stuy. Probably caused by the white policemen patroling the area.



    Where's Al Sharpton commenting on these news events? It's not like a murder occurs everyday in the hood, or does it. Or is it just jungle fever breaking out?



    What about the eleven year old that shows up with two handguns. Typical day in the hood? Where's Al Sharpton? Although he tries to be the next Martin Luther King Jr., he is about as close to that as George Bush being the next Thomas Jefferson.
