According to the New York Police Department (NYPD), the attack took place on July 28. The scooter was estimated to be worth $30.00. The three teenagers in the security footage provided by the authorities appear to be black. The NYPD is requesting help from the public in locating the suspects.
The apparent mugging is just the latest crime in New York City. According to the NYPD, arrests for major felonies “are up nearly 29% so far in calendar 2022, compared with the first seven months of 2021.”

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) ran for election in 2021 with a promise that he would be tough on crime. Earlier this week, a journalist asked Adams when that campaign pledge would become a reality.
“When will we expect crime to drop?” the reporter said. “You’ve been in office seven months; you ran on a platform of lowering crime. When we can expect to see those decreases in crime?”
Adams claimed that his administration is doing everything it can to curtail violence, but that the public needed to jump aboard and help out.
“When we get all our partners on board. We’re doing our job,” he responded. “And we also need the public on board.”
“The public must really — as they have indicated in polling — that public safety is a major issue … we’re doing our job,” he said in an exasperated tone.
“NYPD is taking thousands of guns off the streets. We are making arrests. [There are] a high level of arrests for violent crimes. You’re seeing with that — that which is in our span of control, we’re doing it to the maximum,” he remarked.

yeah, bullsh!t...
Negros.
You can't print that!

And murders and violent crimes keep going up.
We are making arrests. [There are] a high level of arrests for violent crimes
Arresting them and promptly releasing them back on the streets.
Chuckle.
“appear to be black”?
Even someone color blind can tell light vs dark.
The “appear to be black” ??? Was it Al Jolsen?
Was the victim white?
Nothing coming out of NYC shocks me, except that people still live there.
A 6 year-old unsupervised on the street in Brooklyn.
Child abuse, prima facie.
The voters insist on putting the same Democratic Party in power every election and then expect different results. Hmmm, what is the definition of insanity?
A gun didn’t steal a scooter nor punch a six-year old in the chest, Mayor.
Their mothers must be so proud

Their mothers are too busy having more babies. (Thanks, LBJ)
We were fine on the streets with our skates or scooters at six when Ii was growing up in NYC. In fact everybody looked after you.
It’s pretty unimaginable that a bunch of high school age punks would steal a little girl’s scooter. I’m sure the victim was black too, and parents in those neighborhoods have just got to go and tell Eric Adams that they’ve had enough.
And then they’ve got to go vote for Lee Zeldin for Governor.
To tell the family secret, one of their grandmothers was Dutch.
BUT:
More than 80% of pistol-packing perps were put back on the streets after getting busted for gun possession in New York City this year, Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday.
“When when it comes to guns, this year, 2,386 people were arrested with a gun. Of those, approximately 1,921 are out on the street,” Adams said during a news conference on bail reform and recidivism.
Bottom line: guns off the street but blacks on the street. Perhaps you are taking the wrong thing off the street.
