BLOGNOTES: Some bad information on Everyblock regarding comments made tonight by "Closetogangsinrogerspark" keep getting called into police by anonymous neighbors regarding the homicide of James Brown this afternoon. Every-time they get the call (twice now) results turn up empty at Willie White Park and Farwell and Ashland.

No one is up at Willie White Park drinking and laughing about the murder. No one is at Farwell and Ashland drinking and plotting revenge.

Neighbors, stop wasting police manpower with bad information from an anonymous source, on what's turning out to be an incredibly untrustworthy gossip website these days.
