Two elderly men were stabbed with scissors on the New York City subway last week, as crime surges in the city and a Long Island sheriff warned the city authorities were 'starting to lose control'.
Shootings last month in New York City were up 130 per cent year on year - from 89 shootings last year to 205 this year. During the July 4 weekend the city saw 21 shootings that left 44 people injured and eight dead.
'When you see the vandalism in all our own communities - when you see the assaults, you see Molotov cocktails being thrown at law enforcement vehicles, you have to start to realize that, we're starting to lose control,' said Errol Toulon, Suffolk County sheriff. 'And once we start to lose control, we're not losing control to peaceful protesters, these are criminals. And so once we start to relinquish authority to them, we're going to have chaos in our streets.'
On June 29 Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York, announced he was slashing $1 billion from the New York Police Department (NYPD) annual $6 billion budget.
'I am excited to say that we have a plan that can achieve real reform, that can achieve real redistribution, and at the same time ensure that we keep our city safe,' he told reporters.
The deal involves canceling a July class of roughly 1,100 police recruits.

“...we’re starting to lose control,’ said Errol Toulon, Suffolk County sheriff.”
Ya think Errol? Replacement for Capt Obvious.
Somehow De Blasio’s remark reminds me of Nero fiddling why Rome burned.
‘When you see the vandalism in all our own communities - when you see the assaults, you see Molotov cocktails being thrown at law enforcement vehicles, you have to start to realize that, we’re starting to lose control,’ said Errol Toulon, Suffolk County sheriff.
‘And once we start to lose control, we’re not losing control to peaceful protesters, these are criminals,’
Blow the bridges, pull up the rails, flood the subway tunnels. Problem solved.
To be fair, Suffolk County isn’t in NYC itself.
Too bad the second man wasnt packing. The perp should be a room temperature by the hands of his intended victims.
Hi.
Who was that guy who shot the muggers on the NYC subway?
Bernard Getz?

How long until they can vote him out of office. Maybe after this they will vote a Republican in to take his place.
One year from now NYC commercial and residential real estate values will decline 20%, the number of minorities especially blacks killed or wounded will increase over 400% compared to 2018 figures, over 600,00 people will permantly leave New York City and large sections of Manhattan retail and commercial areas will be boarded and vacant. Welcome to Democrat controlled America.
Where are the social services people when you need them?
This is the first I heard about this. So now we have to go to the UK to get the truth about what is happening in the US.
Democrats are scum.
... The DumocRATS are waxing nostalgic for them.
Ah, the “Dark Knight Rises” plan. I like it.
Except you gotta have a plan for when the river freezes or they will scamper across the ice.
Yep. Bernhard Getz. Dubbed “The Subway Vigilante” by the press. He was convicted of a crime and lost a civil case. Has a $43 million judgment against him.
How can the people of NYC continue to elect a Democrat mayor and watch as their city slide into oblivion? Detroit’s even worse and you’d think the people there would have learned a lesson after seeing the corruption fall out of the mayors office. I guess Biden is right: If you vote for a Republican, you’re not black.

Fire hoses work well during the freezing months!
Nope. You have lost control, Sheriff.
