Daily News turns 18-year-old into a “teen,” in order to diminish crime
Posted by Nicholas Stix
Customarily, the term “teen” is reserved for minors, unless you’re a racial socialist news editor seeking to diminish the severity of crimes that a raceless, faceless suspect has been charged with.
Bronx 18-year-old Leopold Hines was taken into custody on Friday after cops found two firearms, as well $1,400-plus in fake cash and a printer to make even more bills.

Police said they found fake cash, along with a .38-caliber revolver and a shotgun, and ammunition for both weapons inside a duffel bag in a closet.
A Bronx teen has been arrested in a cash and carry crime: He had a piece and made his own cash, police said.
Leopold Hines, 18, and two friends were taken into custody about 5 p.m. Friday after cops found two firearms, as well $1,400-plus in bogus bills and the means to print more inside his home on Third Ave. near E. 170th Street in Crotona, police said.
Cops showed up at Hines’ apartment after receiving a tip that guns were being stored in the teen’s bedroom closet.
Hines’ mother allowed the cops into the home, where they said they found the teen and his two buddies in the bedroom just paces from a printer, laptop and paper to print counterfeit $20s and $10s.
Cops also found a .38-caliber revolver and a shotgun, along with ammunition for both weapons, inside a duffel bag hidden in the closet, officials said.
Hines faces gun possession and counterfeiting charges. His friends were released without being charged.
On Saturday, another man was arrested on gun charges in the Bronx, police said.
An AK-47 with a bayonet, an AR-15 machine gun, a Colt semi-automatic handgun and 500 rounds of ammunition were found just two blocks away from Hines’ home inside an apartment on St. Paul’s Place.
Again, cops were working off a tip when the guns were discovered inside a bedroom closet at 5:30 p.m., according to police sources.
Tenant Enrique Santiago, 49, was taken into custody on weapons possession charges after he gave police permission to search his apartment, authorities said.
Police say the two gun arrests are not related, despite their proximity.
[N.S.: Ha, ha, ha! And just what, pray tell, inspired the cops to say that? When they arrest two mopes two blocks away with illegal firearms in an area neighborhood that surely has hundreds, if not thousands of such treasures, and immediately think to themselves, “Gee, I wonder if Hines and Santiago are somehow connected?” Not even the moderately retarded could be that stupid, but an MSM reporter could be! The cops “said” that, because reporting genius Tommy Tracy asked them if the two cases were related. As for “proximity,” proximity is when you bust two guys for weapons or drug possession in adjacent apartments. I got your proximity right here!]
