Subway assaults are soaring — with complaints up 24 percent this year — and the worst two stations are Union Square and Prospect Park, according to crime data obtained by The Post. Reports of felony assaults rose to 151 through Aug. 16 compared with 122 over the same period last year. There were 101 subway assault ­arrests year to date, up from 85 during the same period last year.

...de Blasio, and Obama.

Is taking a dump on the subway considered an “assault?”

Is taking a dump on the subway considered an “assault?”

Of course not. That's considered "artistic expression".

Its easy pickings for muggers to assault those they know are unarmed. Lack of self defense for victims will be a Democrat party presidential race promise.

Muggers are looking to buy tickets to a Meet and Greet with Jesus..

This is the first article that I have read that implicates “Diversity.”

Rudy was a little weak on national issues, but he certainly earned the title America’s Mayor.

I believe it but how are De Blasio’s policies causing crime to increase in New York?

Go ahead, ask him for $5.00.

More headline-grabbing fear mongering by the Post. To put this in perspective, approximately 1.7 billion people ride the NYC subway each year (~5 million each weekday, ~2.5 million each weekend day). Since these numbers are for a period of around 7 months, let's call it about an even billion rides on the subway for .

The difference between 122 and 151 assaults over that time period is not exactly a sign of a massive crime wave.

We all know that the increase in attacks is the increase in white people attacked by nonwhite people.

Out country has become less safe in the last 7 years for people with pale skin. Instances of white people getting cold-cocked or randomly attacked and beaten while walking down the street has skyrocketed here. It’s categorized as “simple assault” because they were not robbed, just attacked and beaten.

I try to reinforce that fact onto my wife, who is a Pollyanna about personal safety. She has the typical small town mentality that everyone is her friend or her potential friend.

She works from home now all day, alone. We just had to replace our front door lock. It looked like someone tried to use a screwdriver to gain access, but failed.

Charles Bronson played a milquetoast accountant in the original Death Wish movie, until events forced his hand. When showbiz roles are cast, actors are selected based on facial type. The amusing thing is - if there's one type that no one would use to classify Charles Bronson's mug, it's mild-mannered office worker. Bronson was Lipka Tatar on his dad's side. It wouldn't surprise me if he were a direct descendant of Genghis, and that there was some distant family resemblance to the Mongol ruler himself.

No “broken windows “ policing. Aggressive panhandlers have returned. Never co-ordinates with ICE on illegals. Steet bums untouched. Turnstile jumping unpoliced.

Lots of little liberties allowed that makes the borderline criminals feel empowered.

What about naked people?

It's the liberal world view taking hold:

• Almost any behavior is acceptable.

• It's okay to kill police.

• White lives don't matter.

• American culture and traditions no longer have meaning or value.

• Being judgemental or discriminating against bad taste and bad conduct is not acceptable.
