BRENTWOOD, NEW YORK SHOOTINGS AND STABBINGS
By Profesor Martin Danenberg "El Quijote del GED"
If you need a GED program for yourself or someone you love, simply click on the ahorre page to the right of "America's GED Hotline and click where it says "clic aquí" in red letters. That takes you to my website and then go to the page that says "services" and you can order the program by pay pal.
Brentwood, New York has had, what police feel are, a series of gang related shootings and now there was a stabbing on the streets. Farmingville became infamous, then Patchogue-Medford for violence against immigrants. Brentwood is becoming infamous for its gang related activities. The GED Testing Center in Brentwood was closed down almost three years ago and nobody did a thing about it. The Central Islip Recreation Center nearby was asked to get my GED program for the youth in the community and that died. Over two years ago, I called for a youth conference, knowing that the violence happening in Europe would spread here. There are far fewer opportunities now on Long Island and the youth in gangs and around gangs are doing things that were predictable to me. That is one of the reasons that I agreed to become the vice-chairman of Operation SNUG, the anti-gun task force. Communities around the country can learn from the mistakes of Brentwood now. In Far Rockaway, recently, the focus at a meeting was on gangs and revitalizing the community through new GED initiatives.
Brentwood, I guess, has lost lots of GED diplomas in the last three years, making it less competitive with surrounding communities. Central Islip has faced the same situation. My progress has been enormous in New York City among the members of the City Council of New York and in Suffolk County the message has failed to hit home. I have noticed too many community leaders who have not done enough to help their communities. There are solutions, but it may take new leadership to bring those solutions forward. What I fear are more killings as people continue to recklessly things the same way as before. How can you not have a GED program in a recreational center and who is that recreation center for? I would invite all the gang members into the center for GED practice testing and as soon as possible.
