Gangs of wilding teens terrorized straphangers this week in a violent spate of daytime robberies and assaults on Manhattan subways -- another indicator the city could be sinking back to the bad old days that once gripped the Big Apple with fear.
Eight teens were arrested in the spree, which included a stabbing and four cellphone robberies on the B and F trains in Midtown Tuesday.
The rash of crimes came two days after an alarmingly violent prior week, when subway felonies jumped 131 percent, from 22 to 51, compared to the same period last year.

Chalk up a few new Republican voters.
—gotta be the fault of the gun show loophole—
Obama youth are feeling empowered.
It mentioned that they were hanging out and involved in a fight at Strawberry Fields. Hard to imagine...has this become a new thug hang-out?
All dem whi’ folk carrying bama’s stash and I can jus’ take it.
Former “liberals” in the process of becoming conservatives.
Those darned Amish “youts” out spreading “peace & love” again.

Bush’s fault.
But, hey, Bloomberg’s too busy snooping on the sales practices of out-of-state gun shops to run Manhattan...
But were they smoking? Or eating junk food? Or shouting anti-gay slurs? That’s what’s important to Nanny Bloomberg and his Lib city administrators these days.
NYC 1990: “Gimme Fi Dolla!”
NYC 2010: “Gimme Fi Dolla!”
This must be what Zero meant when he said we will get in your face.
An armed society is a polite society. Forcibly disarm the law abiding folks in the population and the thugs run wild. Doesn’t take much to see what is wrong with this picture. One thing is absolutely certain. I will never, ever be robbed in a New York City subway. You couldn’t pay me to go there. Been there twice. Never again.....
Eight cell phone robberies and a stabbing. No biggie. It’s not like they were restaurant cooking with saturated fat.
Notice no photos (okay maybe they were underage) and no mention or race.
Reverse the races and it’s national news.
Three of them mugged my 27 yr. old son in Atlantic City last month, wanted money of which he had none, punched him in the face, took his brand new cell phone, and threatened to kill him. He foolishly and naively went out on a pier to look at the ocean at 4 a.m. and to have a smoke. Hard lesson learned, he has no plans to go to AC ever again.
We need an army of such people since the transit authority is not prepared or does not want to do it.
I love this description of the transit police I read in a NYC police novel: Cave Cops.
The crime rates in Atlanta are higher than NYC.
Atlanta is 3.30 times higher than the national average for violent crime, whereas NY is about 1.2 times higher than the national average.
Atlanta is a democrat stronghold.....
