No Snitching for 101 Clark Street Shooting Victim

By on August 13, 2010 3:21 pm in crime

The Brooklyn Eagle reports that the 28 year old shooting victim attacked August 1 in front of 101 Clark Street is not cooperating with police. The paper says that despite extensive injuries –including two bullets still lodged in his spinal-cord region — the victim, whose name has not been released, is refusing to tell cops about his “probable assailants”.

While this scenario may be difficult for some to understand, it is an issue that law enforcement has been grappling with for several years starting in 1999. The “Stop Snitchin’” movement gained momentum in Baltimore six years ago when a homemade DVD, featuring NBA star Carmelo Anthony, was released. Today, social networks like MySpace and Facebook have scores of groups dedicated to the subject.

Eagle: 101 Clark Street Shooting Victim Recovering, Clarifies Its Position on I.D.

By on August 3, 2010 2:56 pm in crime

The Brooklyn Eagle reports that the condition of 28 year old gunned down at 101 Clark Street on Sunday is improving. Two .40 caliber bullets lodged in his spine were removed. During surgery, his spleen was also removed and the paper adds that it’s possible he will also lose his left lung which had collapsed.

As for keeping the victim’s identity private, that paper says it’s a matter of security:

Brooklyn Eagle: Despite readers’ criticisms and pleas, the Brooklyn Eagle, though confirming the victim’s identity on Monday, will not publish those details until they are made public by the police. Police said that as long as the perpetrators remain at large, they will not release the victim’s name for his safety.

“It would be a danger to his life,” a police spokesperson said Tuesday.

While it is clear that his attackers know who the victim is and where he lived, it is not clear if they knew his actual name.
