Straphangers ‘ask God’ to protect them while riding violence-plagued NYC subways: ‘Nobody is safe’

We may need some divine intervention below ground.

New York City transit riders say are fearing for their lives and even “asking God” for help after a number of disturbing, violent incidents in subways and train stations that have left people on edge.

Philomena Ofosu, a 24-year-old nurse’s aide from the Bronx said she prays for her safety every time she gets on the train.

“I am a Christian and I ask God to bring me safe to where I’m supposed to be and back,” she told The Post at Grand Central Terminal on Wednesday — hours after a two people were slashed there by a knife-wielding maniac on Christmas Eve.

“Nobody is safe out here,” she said. “You never know what can happen in the train. It’s so scary for people to get stabbed on the train. They think they are going somewhere and they get stabbed.”

You know what they need?
Hochul to ride on the train. None of that stuff happens when she’s riding on it. They would ALL be safe! (do I really need to say sarcasm?) LOL

Turning to God for protection rather than government is a good start.

I have a friend who was from Long Island and her husband used to commute on the subway and he hated it. One night after a four-hour delay on his train due to yet another violent incident along his route, he finally got home and said, “We have to move. I can’t do this any more.”

I wonder why they don’t drive their autos instead of getting on that dangerous subway?

Ghana is 71% Christian, 20% Moslem. The African Christians I have known have been very devout and good people.

Just an aside...my wife and I met a Ghanian woman at a farmer’s market in Livermore, CA a couple months ago. She sells baskets that she buys in Ghana and brings the goods to the USA for sale. She was the most ebullient, happy and friendly person you’d ever want to meet.

Many can’t afford an auto. Parking is very very high.

As much as rent of an apartment in other parts of the country.

Its faster to take the subway than to drive. Parking would also be an issue.

“and even “asking God” for help”

…that’s always my “go to” in any situation. These flippin atheists piss me off that they’re astonished at such a “ridiculous notion”.

NY City today represents everything that is wrong with the USA

For the USA as a country to prosper, the power, size and prestige of NY City must be reduced.
