The Concern: Mayor Adams’ assertion that the subways are protected after a person was shot on the Q practice on Sunday.
Mayor Adams “rode the subway from higher Manhattan right down to Metropolis Corridor,” The Submit reported (“Hunt for Q train killer,” Could 24).
Which means nothing, and the mayor continues to con the general public together with his proclamations that the subways are protected. How protected?
As no information supply revealed who accompanies the mayor when he rides the subway, I’ll withhold my judgment about its security standing.
When the mayor can say, “I usually experience the subways completely alone,” then I’ll imagine the system is likely to be protected. But when he solely rides with employed weapons to guard him, then he’s not certified to say whether or not it’s protected or unsafe.
For now, I’ll stick to my opinion the subways are as protected as you might be when a crazed pit bull who hasn’t eaten in per week has your neck in his jaws. Alan Hirsch

What does it take to get political leaders to incarcerate criminals who’re repeat offenders? The newest killing of an harmless man within the subway ought to outrage the general public into demanding motion now.
That is each an Albany and a New York Metropolis drawback. No extra speeches. Change the legal guidelines now.

The looney left-wing insurance policies which were adopted by New York Metropolis and New York state are straight answerable for the crime wave we’re experiencing within the subways and on the road.
The court docket system coddles criminals, harmful psychological sufferers are free to roam the streets — and the police properly chorus from proactive policing due to the ridiculous restrictions positioned on them.
There isn’t a thriller as to why New York Metropolis has sunken into the state it’s in. There isn’t a resolution aside from to reverse the harmful insurance policies and legal guidelines which have led to this — and to revive the assist and safety that the NYPD deserves and must function successfully. Sadly, I don’t see that taking place.

It’s really unhappy when a person decides to experience the subway in an effort to go to brunch and is shot useless for no obvious purpose.
The “new regular” for New York Metropolis residents is sudden loss of life at any time and in any space.
This mayor, nevertheless, is extra within the social scene, eating in fancy eating places and attending galas. He has no clue as to how you can cease crime, whilst he touts his expertise and dedication.
He isn’t alone on this indictment. The progressives who run town and state won’t change in most of our lifetimes, and loss of life and destruction are to be anticipated.
As a citizen, you will have two selections. The primary is to fireplace the incompetent parasites in authorities. The second is to pack your baggage and get out earlier than it’s too late.

Take this weekend’s tragic, random subway slaying as one other instance of how out-of-control crime is in Adams’ New York Metropolis.
When not jaunting to LA, DC, Miami, Chicago or New Orleans, Adams preens for the digital camera and dines nightly at swanky New York Metropolis eating places.
At this price, he’s beginning to make Invoice de Blasio look downright competent and profitable.

Adams says the subways are protected, regardless of the latest homicide. He’s driving the trains to point out New Yorkers how protected it’s. What a joke.
Right here is a few recommendation, Mr. Mayor: Get the cops out of hiding. There’s a small military of them assigned to the subway, however they’re the best magicians round: You by no means see ’em.

Barring the return of stop-and-frisk and Albany’s politicians coming to their senses, the Large Apple is doomed.
Adams is only a talker, not keen to face evil head-on. A cop on each practice would assist however is simply not sufficient.
Mayor Rudy Giuliani and hardworking, courageous police had New York fastened, however de Blasio and the Democrats have ruined it.
