Charges dropped against 16-year-old rapper and gangbanger who was accused of shooting NYPD officer



Charges have been dropped against a teenage rapper who was accused of shooting an NYPD officer earlier this year.

The gun and assault case against Camrin Williams, a 16-year-old gangbanger and rapper who goes by the stage name “C Blu,” were dropped on Friday, the New York Post reported.

The city Law Department released a statement that said Williams “cannot be prosecuted” without elaborating why.

Williams was facing charges stemming from a scuffle he engaged in this past January where he allegedly shot 27-year-old police officer Kaseem Pennant in the leg while he was already on probation for a prior gun case.

According to police, Williams’ gun went off while he was in the middle of a scuffle with an officer who was responding to a call concerning a disorderly gathering of people.

Williams is reportedly a member of the Reywey Crew, a subset of the Crips.

Bronx Supreme Court Justice Denis Boyle set the gangbanging and rapping teenager’s bond at $250,000 in February. Williams was able to quickly post it after receiving a signing bonus from his contract with Interscope Records.

One week after making bail, Williams was hauled back into juvenile court for violating his probation, but it appears that Williams's luck changed earlier this week with the dismissal of his latest case.

In a prepared statement, the city Law Department said, “Just because the city cannot prosecute doesn’t mean this individual should have been carrying an illegal weapon — a weapon which contributed to both him and an officer being shot.”

“Pursuant to Family Court Law, the case is now sealed and we are unable to say more about the matter,” the statement continued.

Patrick J. Lynch, the president of the NYPD Police Benevolent Association, said that the decision to drop the charges against Williams was “absurd.”

He said, “This absurd decision should outrage every New Yorker who wants to get illegal guns off our streets. There is no dispute that this individual was caught carrying an illegal gun for the second time. If perps like this face absolutely no consequences, even after shooting a cop, we have to ask: why bother sending us out to get the guns at all?”

Williams was previously arrested in the Bronx in May 2020, at the age of 14, for the possession of a Tauris firearm.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams states his support for abortion up until the moment of birth



Eric Adams, the recently elected Mayor of New York City, condemned the pro-life movement as “radical” on Saturday as he pledged that he would “fight” to ensure that there are “no” limitations on abortion.

Fox News reported that the mayor attended a pro-abortion protest in New York City on Saturday and said that he doesn’t believe there should be any limitations on abortion.

When asked at the “Bans Off Our Bodies” demonstration in New York City whether he thinks there should be any limitations on abortion, Adams said “No, I do not.”

Using the hashtag “BansOffOurBodies,” Adams tweeted, “Abortion is health care. It’s that simple. And New York City won’t let a group of radical extremists take away health care or any human right without a fight.”

When pressed about supporting abortions up until the day of birth, Adams said, “I think women should have the right to choose [for] their bodies. Men should not have that right to choose how a woman should treat their body.”

On Saturday, pro-abortion “Bans Off Our Bodies” protests were held across the country. They came in response to a leaked draft of a majority opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court indicating that the Supreme Court was likely positioned to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The pro-abortion protests were organized by Planned Parenthood, Women’s March, and other organizations that prioritize access to abortion. Organizers of the protests said that these demonstrations mark the start of a potential “summer of rage” if the Supreme Court moves forward with repealing Roe.

There were more than 400 pro-abortion demonstrations on Saturday.

Despite this massive turn out, a recently conducted CNN poll indicates that a potential overturn of Roe will likely galvanize Republicans to come out and vote in the upcoming midterm elections more than it will Democrats.

The results of the poll came after the May 2 leak of the draft Supreme Court opinion and they indicated that enthusiasm for voting is lower among Democrats than it is among Republicans.

56% of Republican respondents said they were “extremely/very enthusiastic” about the upcoming election cycle while only 43% of Democrats said they felt similarly.

The Democratic Party and nonprofit groups affiliated with the party were able to raise millions of dollars shortly after the draft opinion leaked. This enthusiasm for donating to left-wing causes and the widespread pro-abortion protests suggested that Democrats had new waves of enthusiasm motivating their base to turn out, but, as CNN’s poll shows, this is not the case.

A 67-year-old woman was hit on the head and pushed down the stairs of a New York subway station by a man stealing her purse



On Saturday, a purse snatcher punched a 67-year-old woman in the head before he knocked her down the stairs of a subway station in Manhattan.

The New York Post reported that the man attacked the woman just before 7:00 a.m. this past Tuesday. The attack took place at the 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal station, according to the New York Police Department.

The NYPD said that she “sustained minor injuries from the fall.”

The violent thief absconded with the woman’s personal cellphone, roughly $150 in cash, and credit cards that were being held in the woman’s purse, police said.

The NYPD released surveillance footage of a suspect who appears to have something stuffed under his hooded sweatshirt as he walks down the street and out of the surveillance camera’s view.

This past February, New York City’s new Mayor, Eric Adams, committed to cracking down on violent crime in the subways by removing the city’s homeless residents who ride “the same lines all night” in the city’s sprawling metro system.

The mayor previously referred to the city’s homeless population as a “cancerous sore” and said that the city would begin to deploy more police and mental health workers throughout its transit network to prevent violent crimes from being carried out in the subway and subway stations as well as to remove transient homeless populations.

Adams said, “No more just doing whatever you want. Those days are over. Swipe your MetroCard, ride the system, get off at your destination. That’s what this administration is saying.”

He continued, “People tell me about their fear of using the system, and we’re going to ensure that fear is not New York’s reality.”

In mid-February, Kevin Douglas, a 40-year-old man, was arrested and charged with second-degree robbery, third-degree robbery, and second-degree assault after viciously attacking a Thai woman in a subway station before proceeding to sexually assault her.

However, violent crime remains a very real threat in many places in New York City besides the subway system.

This past winter, a 4-year-old boy was assaulted by a grown man in Times Square at 3:20 p.m. in the afternoon. And in mid-March, the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown Manhattan was evacuated after a man stabbed two employees.

According to a report from WNBC-TV, a regional NBC affilate providing coverage to Manhattan, violent crime is on the rise in New York City. Rape was reported to be up 27 percent, felony assault by 12 percent, robbery up by 33 percent, and burglary up by six percent.
