RESIDENTS’ SHOCKING VIEWS ON ISIS:

Terrorists Not Monsters

Just Confused Young Men Who Need More Education

There’s Nothing Obama Can Do

By Koi Germany

BRONX, NEW YORK, FEBRUARY 26- Co­-op City shareholders, speaking out on ISIS and its threat to Western Civilization, reacted in a variety of ways when they were recently interviewed.

Some of those questioned called the ISIS terrorists “monsters,” while others focused on the need to reeducate young Muslims.

As shareholder Peggy Sarvis stated, it starts with “young, confused people.”

And with the terrorists continuing to resort to brazen displays of violence, shareholders were asked about how they believed the President is handling the situation.

“He can only do so much,” shareholder Charles Aponte stressed. “Muslim countries need to unite and chip in; the United States can only do so much.”

Terry Richardson, a long­t-ime shareholder agreed, stating, “The President’s hands are tied. He can’t change the attitudes of those in the Middle East.”

The issue of homegrown terrorism was also broached as shareholders took a firm stand on the matter.

“It is something we should be concerned about as well,” opined Marcus Minott.

With the issue becoming more pressing, there is a call for action on the part of the people, to do something to halt ISIS’s reign of terror.

“I just think they need to be terminated,” Phyllis Hairston­Talley conveyed. “President Obama has

a nation to think about.”

BRONX, NEW YORK, FEBRUARY 25- The future of curbside animal shelters like this one, recently spotted near the Grand Concourse in Norwood, remain uncertain as the City Council will soon vote on a bill that would bring an intake center for stray animals to each borough. 

Despite all the snow and cold temps, animal lovers across the city have been refusing to call the Center for Animal Care and Control for fear that if the cats are not quickly adopted, they would be put to sleep. Residents say an unnamed animal lover began taking care of these stray cats in the area more than three years ago and the kitty motel sits on an abandon lot. 

The City Council's Health Committee was expected to discuss the bill on February 25, that if the bill passed, would establish a full-service animal shelter in every borough.

BRONX, NEW YORK, FEBRUARY 24- Authorities are looking for the hit-and-run driver who dragged a man a short distance, before speeding past the hospital where he would later die.

Officers from the 50th Precinct were called to West 225 Street and Broadway at just before 7 p.m. on February 23.

Police officials say the victim, identified as Daniel Cabrera, 38, of Cortland Manor, N.Y., was headed westbound along West 225 Street--when he was struck by the vehicle headed south on Broadway.

The victim was briefly dragged and left in the roadway as the vehicle sped over the Broadway Bridge into the Inwood section of Manhattan.

Officials say that Cabrera was rushed to New York Presbyterian-Columbia University Hospital, where he died several hours later.

Like many of the witnesses, David Gibbs only heard the crash, Gibbs told a handful of reporters, "I heard a noise and I heard a boom and where the boom was, there was a guy laying across the street... dead."

"I said somebody got hit," Gibbs continued, "and everybody yelled, 'Dial 911' ... and he sped off right across the bridge."

Police officials were looking for a Dodge Magnum station wagon with tinted windows. Depending on which police sources you spoke to; investigators were looking for a light gray, green or silver vehicle with heavy front-end damage.
