In what is apparently an Easter tradition up New York City way, a bunch of young adults (mostly male) left the New York International Auto Show and headed over towards Times Square for some not-so-hilarious hijinks.
The results of their activities were four people being non-fatally shot; over thirty more were arrested. Four of those busted were charged with gang-related assault. Dating back to 2003, other injuries such as cutting and stabbing have occurred.
Arrest numbers over the past few years have fluctuated between the low 20's and now low 30's. For a look at some local opinions and a clip of Mayor Bloomberg's take on the issue, check out the clip below.
