Victory Boulevard, a major roadway which begins on the west coast of Staten Island in Travis runs way-north to the borough’s Tompkinsville section. It’s a street that emerges from a rural Mayberry-like neighborhood, widens as it cuts through the mid-section of the Island’s major strip malls, then narrows again into the bucolic residential area of the north shore and Silver Lake Park. Late-night drivers, often leaving the locals bars, sometimes act up. Once a stretch of parkland is in site, they have a license to chuck bottles, yell, and turn the quarter mile into a speedway. Occasionally, they take it further. Around twenty cars were shot up with pellet guns, the windows shattered and knocked out. It’s the most widespread incident of its kind I’ve seen here. ABC and Fox News covered it for the 11pm edition.
