John McCormick (killed when an officer and suspect struggled for a gun during a warrant execution, he was supposed to retire the week after); Officer Gary Peaco (an ambulance clipped the car he was in as he and his partner rushed to assist in a robbery with shots fired and he was thrown from the vehicle); Officer Joe Galapo (inadvertently shot by his partner's gun while arresting narcotics suspects); Officer Christopher Hoban (shot during an undercover drug buy); and Officer Michael Buczek (shot trying to arrest suspects on drug charges). 19:04- Victim's name was Judith Anne Wrappe. She exited the subways and was near the home she lived with her aunt and uncle after her waitressing shift. Was a first-year student at Pratt. How long was she here for from Arkansas? ONE WHOLE WEEK.

I was a young man in April 1984, 23 years old; I remember that massacre well. It really shocked NYers back then. Such crimes then were comparatively rarer than today, now these crimes happen almost every day, or so it seems.
No those weren’t rarer then today those crimes happened a lot yall just figured out things slow asf back then, but reality is this happened way more back then and today is no where close to as bad as it was then lol😂 I find it funny yall old people in the comments are trying so hard to make it seem like today is as bad or worse than it was then when it’s not 😂
@Ty-by6mz I don't know how old you are or you're even old enough to remember 1984 New York, but I remember it quite well. Crime definitely existed, and it is true the news wasn't as quick as it is today; we didn't have the Internet then, but crime, especially mass murders were certainly not as prevalent as it is today. In fact, it was so much rarer then that people back then were genuinely shocked at such a horrific act, now it happens nearly every day, NYers today are a lot more hardened and jaded than they were then, so they are not as shocked.
Mark David Chapman the night he shot John Lennon, was found with a copy of the The Catcher and the Rye (allegedly used in MK-Ultra) in which he had written "This is my statement" and signed Holden's name the protagonistof the book. Later, he read a passage from the novel to address the court during his sentencing. NY Post reported on a possible 2nd shooter? Robert John Bardo, who murdered Rebecca Schaeffer, was carrying the book when he visited Schaeffer's apartment in Hollywood on July 18, 1989 and murdered her. After John Hinckley Jr.'s assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981, police found The Catcher in the Rye in his hotel room (though with other books).
Had to read that in school, you said used in mk-ultra. I'm not shocked, the us gov is creating super soldiers brainwashing ppl and programming them to commit heinous crimes, member the guy from out of town coming to be subway shooter in NYC. He didn't have no reason but was used as a tool commit an act for distraction and cause distress in the city
