Man Is Shot Dead in Manhattan Diner

an Is Shot Dead in Manhattan Diner
A 28-year-old man was fatally shot at a diner in Manhattan early Saturday morning, the police said.
The social issue for this article is that the death is increasing for this year.
lots of people are dieing and i think that people should be aware of that because this is a
dangerous action increasing.
An employee at the diner, at 109 West 14th Street, said a fight had occurred between customers. - Small things like fighting over something can lead to death because you may never know what the other person might think about you , and what will s/he do to you. Many of these clubs/bars/lounges are causing horrendous quality of life problems. That's why some people shouldn't go out at night.

A deranged creep attacked a women and her friends that was with her , in central park sources said " Ronald fox 47 allegedly pounced on the victim, who was with three pals, in the rambles near East 74 street at 11:05 am. He punched her, then threw sticks at her friends. This is another example of a social issue which is abuse. Lots of adults say that it better to hang out with friends when you are on the streets because you can help each other out when someone is in trouble. But still at the same time you still need to be aware of your surroundings because you may never know when some kind of drunk guy comes around.

From the newspaper i read this article called "murder making a deadly come back".
It was about how the city's murder rate has shot up nearly 15 percent this year, the NYPD recorded 437 murders as of Sunday , compared with 382 in the same period as last year. " It's not bad like it was years ago" said Frankie Bourn age 48 . " But with people losing jobs , It is only going to get worse " . The social issue in this passage is
losing jobs and murder. Losing jobs is a major issue because it leads to depression and many other problems.

Bike lane Pains Gains-

The issue the department of transportation plans for new bike lanes around new york city. Those changes were implemented without any input from citizens , wasting money while new york city goes bankrupt. Worst of all, bike lanes paralyze commercial traffic, making life even more difficult. I think the social issue for this article is pollution , we need more bike lanes so that we won't have to drive our cars that put gas in the air and destroys the atmosphere. That's why the department of transportation is trying to build new bikes lanes which is doing a favor for new york citizens.
