After latest bloodbath, time is running out for Hochul and Adams to save NYC
New York Post ^ | April 12, 2022 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 04/13/2022 5:03:55 AM PDT by billorites

Who wants to live in a city like this?” a Sunset Park man asked a TV reporter Tuesday, then answered his own question: “Nobody wants to live like this.”

Indeed. Nobody wants to live in the city New York is becoming.

Another nail in the coffin — that’s what the Brooklyn subway attack was. Crime, crime nd more crime, and now this.

Subway terror is the stuff of nightmares — and a banner day for the owners of moving companies. Helping people get out of Dodge already is a booming business, and nothing spreads the determination to escape New York faster than the fear of being trapped in the subway with a madman with a gun and a sack full of explosives and smoke cannisters.

The 40 or 50 people actually in the attacker’s N-train car are stand-ins for the other 8.8 million people who are now terrified themselves. Everyone is realizing that they or someone they love could have been there. Just to imagine the possibility makes the heart beat faster.

Gov. Hochul knows that, which is why she rushed to be part of the first police briefing. She started out in a soft voice talking about what had seemed “a normal day” but soon warmed to the significance of the moment, declaring firmly and loudly, “It has to end. It ends now.”

“We are sick and tired of reading headlines about crime,” she said. “It has to stop. I’m committing the full resources of our state to fight this surge of crime, this insanity that is seizing our city, because we want to get back to normal.”

“Normal” is such a comforting word. But if Hochul means she wants New York to get back to a safer time, she’ll have to be more specific about the era...

Adams is a moron. First thing he does is cry about gun regulation. The left won’t be happy until it’s illegal for anyone, aside from politician’s security, to own a gun.

NY is hosed. I wouldn’t go there on a bad bet. And I have no sympathy for NY’ers. Vote for idiots and you will get what you deserve.

Democrats were all for “defund the police” and no bail, early releases, etc.

Now that crime is rising even more, they are scrambling to deny they want to defund the police because it threatens their stranglehold over big cities and leftist states.

Democrats who cannot lose elections still support defund the police, showing everyone that this would be the policy if the left had total control over the nation.

I have an idea for NYC. Why don’t you:

1. defund the police.
2. release criminals with no bail
3. allow looters to roam free
4. ignore small crimes such as theft and assault
5. keep electing soft-on-crime deocrats

Yes, that’ll fix the problem.

Something isn’t right about this crime; no cameras, he drops his credit card & keys at the scene, rents a van in his own name 5 days before the crime, leaves a bag in the van he rented.

Now that NYC has RCV, time will never run out for Deep State.

Note to Gothamites: If you want to save your city, see my tagline.

Sometimes criminals really are that stupid.

Within New York City, 68.28 percent of registered voters are Democrats. The crime wave is solely the fault of democrat voters. They want to defund the police, now they own it.

Black thugs are killing White Asians and yet the democrats blame republicans. Where is Al Sharpton and the other poverty pimps?

I have a great sense of schadenfreude when I see Rat cities burning.

” “Normal” is such a comforting word.”

In several cities, “normal” morphed into brazen shoplifting in broad daylight knowing people were filming you and still not caring; “normal” became cops sitting on their hands while private property rights and personal safety were openly violated.

They created their “new normal”; this ends when the lefty loonies start attacking the elites personally.

This dopey token of a mayor tried to use “white supremacists” as his target; he wishes any would even deign to visit his dump.

Judgement is upon that city. It’s only going to get much worse. God has a plan there but the shaking is just getting started.

Wait until the weather events start hitting there. Some already have but that was just an appetizer. Never mock the almighty God. When they lit up the freedom tower after the baby-killing bill, oh man..I felt it.

I know! I know! I know!

Since New York City has some of the toughest (anti)gun laws in the disUnited States, why not just confiscate the guns from all “registered” gun owners.
Yes sir Ree Bob, that ought to do it.

I live in ONE of Texas’s 254 counties that had zero murders and zero robberies in the past year.

Democrats won’t even post a yard sign around here come election time.

Arguably, putting 8 million people in one small area and 68% of them are democrats means you have an unfixable problem.

The governor is a radical Dem and Adams is a low IQ Mayor. They can’t save anything.

The CEO of the MTA was on CBS This morning and reported what nobody else has: The person of interest has a LONG RAP SHEET. No doubt they went light on him due to his race and thus NYC foisted a known dangerous criminal on unsuspecting commuters. This is criminal, from the judge to the DA, they need to be held accountable.

There is not a politician, R or D, who would not celebrate the disarming of all non-LEO Americans.
