Imagine if Those Same Individuals Who Engage in Lawless Street Takeovers Actually Took Over The Streets To Give Back to Their Hoods and Help Others

​

                Rochester, NY Puerto Rican Festival's 

                                         Lawless Aftermath

By Davy V. 

Every year Rochester, NY's Puerto Rican Festival brings lawlessness, chaos, mayhem and violence to my hometown.

Throughout Rochester's northeast side, especially along streets like 

North Clinton Avenue , or as Rochester's Puerto Rican community proudly calls "La Avenida", hundreds of cars playing loud music, completely shut down intersections, as men and women, some of them even pregnant,  hang out of car sunroofs and windows, yelling, screaming, and waving Puerto Rican flags.

Also motorcycles, ATV's, dirt bikes, and scooters, many of them illegal, some stolen, also shut down intersections, doing burnouts and donuts as crowds standing on sidewalks or in the middle of the street cheer them on.

And it's not just in my hometown.

Throughout the U.S., illegal street meetups, commonly known as STREET TAKEOVERS, have well, taken over city streets and main intersections.

Just scroll through social media and you'll see tons of videos showing the lawlessness in full effect.

Groups of hundreds of illegal, unregistered dirt bike and ATV riders taking over highways and streets, doing wheelies and maneuvering stunts that would make a legend like Evel Knievel cringe.

So I was thinking.

Imagine if those same individuals who partake in those acts of lawlessness and above the law, self-entitled narcissistic behavior, the same ones who post videos and photos of their trucks with 30-inch chrome wheels, imagine if instead for one second they didn't think of themselves, and put that same time, dedication, and energy into helping others and giving back to their communities.

Imagine if in the same way they come together to tear the streets up, they instead would come together to clean up their heroin syringe infested dilapidated neighborhoods.

Imagine if they came together and held food drives for families who are struggling just to make it through the end of the month.

Imagine if they came together and hosted Back to School drives, where people drop off book bags and school supplies for school children.

Also, the homeless.

Imagine if these individuals put that same time and energy and went out and bought bulk packs of socks, one of the best items you can give to a homeless person, and bring them hot coffee, and prepared meals.

Hey, here's another idea.

Imagine if these individuals uses that same time and energy and made it a point to check on the elderly folks in their neighborhoods.

Elderly folks that can't easily get out.

Folks that perhaps could use some help with an errand, or maybe yard work.

Maybe something as simple as bringing trash out to the curb on trash pick-up day.

Imagine the difference these individuals could make.

Imagine the impact they could make on their own communities by helping those in need.

Imagine the difference they could make truly taking over the streets and helping others.

Imagine that.

A Man Made a Prank Call Saying There Was an Active Shooting at Strong Hospital in Rochester, NY... HE NEEDS TO BE CHARGED!

​

By Davy V.

"In mental health custody."

That's how they're describing, a 39-year old Spencerport, New York man, who while at strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, New York, around 2 a.m. Monday morning, made a false call to 911 reporting that there was an active shooting inside the hospital.

What followed was a mass response of police, more than a dozen Rochester, NY Police cruiser who descended on the hospital.

As I'm writing this, the man has not been identified, but early reports are that according to police, he is in "mental health custody."

I want to say a few things.

If you follow The Davy V. Blog, 

if you watch my YouTube Channel DavyVTV, then you know that when it comes to mental health, it's something that I have been very open about.

Not only my father committing suicide when I was just 22 years old, but also about my own mental health struggles. 

And while I don't know this individual's history, or even if in fact, he truly does suffer from menial health issues, incidents like these need to be taken extremely seriously.

Simply put:

HE NEEDS TO BE CHARGED.

Yes, I am very respectful of anyone dealing with mental health issues.

And yes, here on The Davy V. Blog, as well as on DavyVTV, I will always advocate for those dealing with mental health issues, like I recently did when TRIGGER-HAPPY Monroe County, NY Sheriff Deputies executed a 62-year old suicidal man.

However, when someone makes a false call reporting a mass shooting, setting off a massive police response, and thus not only alarming, but endangering the general public, making innocent people be in fear, especially at a hospital, a place which in many ways should be considered a safe haven, then that individual, mentally-ill or not, NEEDS TO CHARGED.

I will be updating this story...

UPDATE:

The 39-year old man has been issued an appearance ticket.

According to Rochester, NY Police, he has been charged with third degree false reporting of an incident.

Why The Execution Of a Suicidal Man by Trigger-Happy Monroe County, NY Sheriff Deputies Hits Home For Me

         

               MCSO ChiefDeputy Michael Fowler 

By Davy V.

Most cops who will read this, including good police officers who I  know personally, and respect, have no idea and will never understand what it is to have a family member commit suicide.

I DO.

My Dad committed suicide when i was just 22 years old.

I was home when it happened. 

It's been 33 years.

The loud sound of the shotgun my Dad used.

The way the shotgun blast in my parent's bedroom upstairs, echoed through the entire house, as I was downstairs in the living room watching TV, and my mom was in the kitchen cooking.

My brother later cleaning up the blood on the walls and bedroom floor.

It's all still very vivid and clear in my mind.

33 years later.

I will never forget that day.

                                    Gregory Kase

On Sunday August 9, 2026, two TRIGGER-HAPPY Monroe County, NY Sheriff Deputies responding to the Super 8 Motel, in Henrietta, NY, just outside of Rochester, for a call of a male with a box cutter, threatening to harm himself, opened fire the mentally-ill man, 62-year old Gregory Kase, executing him, despite Monroe County, New York Chief Deputy Michael Fowler saying both of his deputies did have non-lethal options.

In other words, they didn't have to kill Gregory Kase.

But as I've said before, like the late Reverend Raymond Graves, who for years worked side by side with my Dad Mario Vara in Rochester, New York speaking out and denouncing police misconduct including the execution of citizens by trigger happy cops, used to say, oftentimes police officers don't shoot because they have to shoot, they shoot because they want to shoot.

I don't know what these two Monroe County, NY Sheriff Deputies were thinking, but after watching the body cam video that MCSO finally decided to release, of course, after reports that Kase was "profoundly deaf", I can honestly say that they didn't have to shoot.

First of all, Kase had a box cutter.

In the body-cam video Kase can be seen in the motel room's bathroom.

He was in the tub.

When the Deputies kick the room door open and call out to Kase several times, you can clearly tell that Kase has trouble hearing the Deputies.

At no time in the video, do you see Kase harging at the officers.

And even if he had charged at the Deputies, I don't care what anyone says, there is no reason why they had to use deadly force and execute a mentally-ill man holding a box cutter.

The Monroe County Sheriff Deputies  had other options.

But they chose to go lethal over all of them.

Gregory Kase needed help.

Instead , he got two TRIGGER-HAPPY Monroe County, New York Sheriff Deputies who  EXECUTED HIM. 

And to everyone supporting these TRIGGER-HAPPY Monroe County, NY Sheriff Deputies executing a man who was having a mental health crisis and needed help...

SHAME ON YOU!

IF it were your family member you wouldn't be saying that.
