What will it take to get crime under control in our subways and public transit systems?
On Monday, news broke of another passenger set on fire in New York City's subway -- though this story wasn't all it seemed.
The homeless man who at first said he was the victim of an attack turned tight-lipped when police pressed him about what happened.
Had he set his own clothes ablaze to attract attention?
In the wild environment our subways have become, a malicious attack or a madman's self-inflicted injury are both all too believable.
Most trips on the New York subway or Washington, D.C.'s metro system don't resemble a clip from "Mad Max," but sooner or later anyone who rides the rails of our cities regularly encounters insanity, aggression and the prospect of violence -- or actual violence, including the murderous kind.
The life-changing and very nearly life-ending attack on Bethany MaGee, the woman set aflame on a Chicago Blue Line train last month, was no hoax.
Nor was the assault that killed Iryna Zarutska on a commuter train in Charlotte, North Carolina, this summer.
Nor was the burning alive of Debrina Kawam on the New York subway last December.
None of those women had any reason to fear for her life, yet a commute turned into unspeakable terror.
And it was predictable -- not because these victims had anything special to fear but because everyone knows what's allowed to happen in the tunnels and on the trains.
If a thug with 72 arrests to his name, like the man who tried to immolate the 26-year-old MaGee in Chicago -- or with "just" 14 arrests, like Iryna's murderer -- decides this is the day to take an unsuspecting victim, what chance does she have?

Are these judges just releasing criminals due to race?
Dunno. How many white guys with 72,45,39,17 prior arrests are released for similar crimes?
I blame the media for a lot of this. They've been teaching blacks to hate whites for decades and it resonates with some.
Judges are lawyers. Taxpayer-supported lawyers.
I think it is judges and media. I think many judges impose probation because they believe blacks are a disproportionately large portion of the prison population. The media and community organizers indoctrinate white hatred. The combination is deadly especially when mental illness is involved.
These articles make it sound like this problem was never solved before. It was in the 1990s. In the 1970s and 1980s, subways were dangerous and dirty. Giuliani came in and enforced the law on subways and by the mid-to-late 1990s, you could ride on them late at night alone in most areas and feel safe. That lasted into Bloomberg’s term but then Defund the Police and BLM basically stopped enforcement of the law on the subways and they reverted to combat zones.

This is true. That is why the movie Death Wish resonated with the public when it came out.
“they believe blacks are a disproportionately large portion of the prison population.”
Blacks commit a disproportionate number of crimes, so I don’t see a problem with the prison statistics.
It’s past time to strip both prosecutors and judges of their immunity.
Absolutely no one should be completely immune from the consequences of their decisions.

The time is overdue for Americans to start locking up incompetent and unqualified Black Robed Stooges. Most are dizzy broads who watched too much Court TV and decided that being a stooge sure beats sitting on the couch watching daytime TV and eating bon bons.
