Veteran of Kuwait and Iraq Gunned Down in Brooklyn
After serving tours in the Middle East, it was a Brooklyn backyard barbecue that proved deadly for Sergeant Kidson George. The 26-year-old man was gunned down on the porch of a Crown Heights home where he was celebrating the 4th of July with his girlfriend and others. George was shot twice in the chest by his girlfriend's former boyfriend, sending children screaming and dashing for cover.
An unidentified 27-year-old woman was hit by a stray bullet in the leg, but survived. George's girlfriend, who he was standing next to on the porch, was uninjured. The murdered army mechanic was stationed at Fort Dix, but called Brooklyn home (he was born in Trinidad). His new girlfriend's ex-boyfriend was described to the Daily News as a drug dealer by witnesses at the scene.
Separately, five people were shot early this morning at a gathering behind a home in Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn. One woman was killed, two other people were critically injured, and another two people were shot in the arm.

But remember, everyone, more guns make us freer.

You shoot someone in front of children? At least the mob had rules...

Note to women: don't cheat

[3] You're an asshole. Anybody tell you that? The woman had broken up with the drug dealer. There was no "cheating."

Note to self: Do background checks on any hood rats you decide to hook up with.

NY gun laws sure helped here, huh?

Um, you're making the anti-gun law point for us.
I would say: Even with the strictest gun laws in the nation, crazies still get guns to gun down innocent people on the 4th of July.
What a sad story.

Watch where you party on the 4th. A cook out in East Flatbush, Crown Heights or Bed-Stuy could lead to gunplay.
Better stay in the Hamptons...

As long as they stay in their hood and not mine, I don't have a problem with it. It sure doesn't bother the fat fuck Sharpton.

A love triangle is more dangerous than Iraq.
Men ,when a woman says go just go.

From one war to another: some people never get a break. And on the Fourth of July. That animal is more wretched and dangerous than any insurgent with a firearm.
