Two more straphangers met their gruesome end on Gotham’s subways over the weekend, bringing the transit-murder total in just over a year to eight. Before 2020 and 2021, it took five years for eight murders to occur on transit — and that was with much higher ridership.
“The events of the last 24 hours are horrifying,” says acting New York City Transit boss Sarah Feinberg. Yes, indeed.
The latest victims are a 44-year-old woman and an adult man, stabbed to death by an apparent stranger on two separate A trains. Two others were assaulted in the same 24 hours, possibly by the same attacker.
It’s just dumb luck that even more people haven’t died. A day before the two murders, a teenage boy was the most recent near-victim, tumbling to the tracks during a violent robbery. Over the previous week, almost a dozen people fell prey to various slashings and pushings.
The statistics back up the anecdotes. In January, though robberies fell, assaults were up an eyewatering 27 percent.
That follows a year during which violent transit crimes were consistently way up. Six murders in 2020, double the 2019 number. All of the murder victims were minority men. Seven rapes, more than double the previous year...

Lumino doesn’t.
He is vastly outnumbered.

Hahahaha - I forgot about him !!!
New York voters are getting their wishes granted good and hard.
are there no descriptions of these murderers?...these attackers?....I mean if we knew who these people look like, we might be able to avoid them, you know..
Looks like NYC owes John Rocker an apology.
Were they yutes or teens?
the citizenry is not being protected.
Good thing NYC has such stringent gun control for the law abiding. Those two who were killed might have committed self defense! Much better that they were killed than use a gun to defend themselves. New Yorkers are morons for voting democrat. And despicable morons for exporting their garbage ideas to the rest of the country.
I’m one of the very few people who rides the Subway without a mask.... It makes me look like a crazy bad-ass, so no one’s gonna mess with me!
When I moved to New York 40 years ago, I was intimidated by how tough New Yorkers were supposed to be. What compliant sheep they’ve turned out to be. Can’t blame the muggers for going in for the slaughter.
Not to worry. de Blasio is going to get right on it and stop all this naughtiness soon.
Ya think?!?!?!?!
They caught him, but based on the prevailing libtard stupidity, I wouldn't be surprised if they just turned him loose right away due to that recent law, because "he black and can't make bail" or if some libtard group of brainless do-gooders paid his bail and turned him loose to murder more people. That's NYC insanity these days.
You know soaring crimes are really killing NYC, Subways and everything else..????
The soaring crimes of their despotic Mayor and despotic Governor
Amen to that! NYC needs a younger version of Rudy VERY badly right now.
Loose the hounds, reap the whirlwind.
Demographics of the perps?
