two bystanders shot in manhattan's Tompkins square park

By N.S.

“Hardly a day goes by, you know, that some innocent bystander ain’t shot in New York City. All you got to do is be innocent and stand by and they’re going to shoot you.

The other day, there was four people shot in one day—four innocent people—in New York City. It’s kind of hard to find four innocent people in New York. That’s why a policeman don’t have to aim. He just shoots anywhere. Whoever he hits, that’s the right one.”


(Will Rogers, quoted in The New York Times, June 21, 1992.)

Just like the gangbangers. Fire enough rounds spraying bullets all over the place and eventually you will hit your target.

Will would be flummoxed in 2024 by the definition of "innocent" OR "guilty"--since nowadays(under "black law"),guilt or innocence is based totally on whether you're black(innocent)or White(guilty).
