The Difficulty: An 11-month-old woman who was shot by a stray bullet within the Bronx on Wednesday.
Slightly child, 11 months outdated, was shot in my space of The Bronx (“No one is safe,” Jan. 20).
Deliver again anti-crime items — and stop-and-frisk. It’s time to get robust on crime. No extra pussyfooting round.
If you’re doing nothing mistaken, and also you get stopped, be comfortable as a result of you realize that the cops are doing their job.

One other capturing has simply taken place. An 11-month woman sitting in a automotive at East 198th Road and Valentine Avenue in The Bronx and was shot within the face.
Quite a lot of folks have been shot and have been wounded or killed and plenty of of them have been bystanders. This gun violence should cease.
Mayor Adams and his new police commissioner, Keechant Sewell, should do one thing.
Crime is working wild and on the streets and within the subways, the place folks have been thrown unto subway tracks and into oncoming trains by homeless people who find themselves mentally unwell, which I discover most troubling.
Mayor Adams, you promised to guard my fellow New Yorkers. Do one thing.

It’s fittingly ironic that The Submit story of the tragic capturing of an 11-month-old little one seems on the identical web page as a narrative about DA Alvin Bragg defending his progressive prosecutorial conduct (“Constitution backs my policies: Bragg,” Jan. 21).
Whereas Bragg shouldn’t be answerable for the capturing itself, his “Day One” memo makes it clear that criminals’ rights come first in New York Metropolis. Driving in automobiles or on the subway is not secure within the metropolis.
If Bragg’s coronary heart bleeds for the criminals amongst us, why didn’t he be a part of the Authorized Support Society? The job of a prosecutor is to prosecute.

Three weeks into the Adams’ mayoral time period, and the bullets are flying.
We now have a mayor who doesn’t appear to scare any criminals and a DA who clearly doesn’t care about releasing criminals again on the streets so long as it’s not his road.
Sufficient with the coddling of criminals: Lock them up, clear up the streets — and the notion of security will return.

The Difficulty: President Biden’s statements on the US’ potential response to an invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
I want I may very well be optimistic about what’s about to occur in Ukraine, however I can’t be (“Ukraine rage over Joe,” Jan. 21).
President Biden is weak and feckless, and all people is aware of it, particularly President Vladimir Putin. He watched as Biden spoke loudly and carried a twig in Afghanistan.
Biden may and will have led our allies to face strongly in opposition to the approaching invasion of Ukraine, however he didn’t. Biden may and will have instantly begun arming the Ukrainian military, however he didn’t.
Chinese language management is watching what occurs.
