QUEENS — The NYPD and the MTA plan to clear homeless men and women out of the subway system after a skyrocketing number of people have sought shelter there from the brutally cold winter, police officials said.

I guess they need to raise taxes on the rich.

But But But, I thought progressives care about the homeless and downtrodden

[bigheadfred]

sounds like they are gonna disenfranchise a whole bunch of voters

[SamAdams76]

There is more cold weather coming.

This has been a cold winter. With snow.

The Marxist in charge of NYC allows this?

Bitter cold to return to eastern U.S. this weekend

“Temperatures 20°F below normal will likely invade the Upper Midwest on Sunday, and gradually spread southeastwards during the week,” says Weather Underground’s Dr. Jeff Masters. “The peak cold is predicted to occur late next week, with temperatures 20 – 35° below normal covering much of the eastern 2/3 of the country.

Who did you say that to?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Progressive “Compassion” I think Hitler had the same “Compassion” when he put Jews in ovens

[Telepathic Intruder]

Just kick them out into the snow? Fortunately, because of global warming, it’s unusually warm snow

[MeshugeMikey]

the analogy stands! yes!

[hal ogen]

This is heartless. Those who have escaped the dreaded “job lock” have to have a warm places to write their poetry and play their lutes. Is there no compassion in NYC?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Fire them across the border into Mexico. I hear it’s nice and warm there.

It’s only fair.

Right. New York's Finest would never stoop to this level without orders from the Gracie Mansion. DiBlasio is proven himself not only to be unable to eat pizza correctly, but a heartless bastard to boot.

If this was Rudy G., the NY Times would go ballistic. I'll be waiting for their coming ‘outrage’ with DiBlasio.

Fire them across the border into Mexico. I hear it’s nice and warm there.

And the cartels can use them as target practice. Sounds like a win-win.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Pull!

[Veggie Todd]

Good one!

[Veggie Todd]

Or rather, “Tirar!”.

Who wants to smell a stinky homeless dude while you’re trying to enjoy your sandwich?
