“Manhattanites are actually the ones causing this damage to themselves,” New York City Councilman Joe Borelli said Monday, commenting on the skyrocketing crime in his city.

Borelli called the city’s crime problem self-inflicted, because NYC overwhelming elected a soft-on-crime district attorney, Alvin Bragg, who campaigned on a promise to prosecute fewer law-breakers:

“Unfortunately, New Yorkers are learning that you get what you deserve.

“They overwhelming elected this guy, Alvin Bragg, who promised on day one to do exactly what he was doing.

“He’s not lying, he’s not hiding. He’s not shameful of how he wants to treat this office.  And New Yorkers overwhelmingly elected him.”

Anarchy on the streets.

Tyranny in the statehouses.

The Democrat Party wants this.

“You get what you deserve.”


Technically he is correct. In a democracy you not only get the government you want. You get the government you deserve.

“He’s 100% correct”

There could be an enormous amount of cheating going on in NYC.

People who work there and put up with this crime don’t vote there, they vote in Suffolk, Nassau, westchester and in New Jersey. So there’s that. Long Island and upstate went red It was a red wave.

Hard to have any sympathy for both the victims and the cops. Cops are liberal too, often going after the conservative protestors while taking a knee with BLM. Victims vote in the bast@!@# politicians too.

I say eff em all.
