My New York nightmare
Spectator World ^ | 29 Aug 2022 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 08/30/2022 10:10:42 AM PDT by Rummyfan

I’m back in a city where you can’t walk alone after dark. Thank you, Democrats!

For nearly two years, every morning I’d wake up thinking, I’ve got to get back to New York. Well, I’m back, and this isn’t what I meant at all. I wanted to be in the city that never sleeps, where I could walk around carefree, even at night, take the subway, and live within a few blocks of every possible convenience.

Instead, this happened. Two years after the shutdowns began — restaurants closed; then open with social distancing, masking and a 10 p.m. curfew; then closed again, except outside in the middle of winter; then open, with masking and a vaccine card — Covid’s finally gone! Hurray! (It was gone in Florida two years ago. That governor is a miracle-worker!)

But the New York I’ve come back to is Death Wish New York. Thank you, Democrats! In 2019, for the first time since World War Two — except one year, 1964 — Democrats won total control of state government. And the number one item on their “To Do” list was to pass a no-jail law, requiring the immediate release of suspects arrested for basically anything short of intentional murder.

The no-jail law went into effect in January 2020.

For the first six months, the no-jail law worked great! Of course, it’s freezing from January through March and then the entire city was shut down for Covid. Apparently, street crime disappears when there’s no one on the street. But then, on May 25, a fentanyl addict was killed by police in Minneapolis, unleashing a bacchanal of violence in Democratic-controlled towns across the land.

It had taken twenty years for New York mayors Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg to round up the criminals. It took only one year for Democrats to release them.

In a total surprise to the party in power, criminals continued to commit crimes. But this time, they knew that, even if they got arrested, they’d be right back on the street in about an hour.

Despite the city being virtually crime-free for the first half of 2020, by the end of the year murders were up 44 percent, shootings up 97 percent, car thefts up 67 percent and burglaries up 42 percent.

Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Coulter anti-Trump?

Evil is like a mad dog waiting at the door....always ready to devour once it’s given freedom to roam.

Maybe but she is most assuredly unbalanced. Scary scarecrow of a woman.

Bleh, Coulter is back in NYC because she wants to be around the queers and degenerates. No other reason.

Not only that, they are underreporting crime.

Long world away from sitting on her parents’ porch with a rifle fooling around. Tons of books, tons of some call caustic treatment of Trump, rumored leftist boyfriends and what seems to me a life more concerned about selling rehash books with her newspaper columns, getting on TV and promoting them.

I could give a crap whether she now feels safe in the midst of a Democrat sh!thole like NYC.

The odd part is the writer didn’t know this before going back.

I decided all urban environments were doomed and not civilized by 2007 and haven’t lived in one since. It’s been wonderful.

She was "anti trump" only in that Trump didn't do all that Trump said he would. She believed that he could have fought the Deep State harder and gotten the wall started sooner and completed.

But we see with what happened with the Steal and now with the FBI invasion of Mar-a-Lago that Trump had a huge hill to climb going up against the Deep State.

Oh, you wanted the Rudy Giuliani New York. Yeah, we don't have that anymore...

Yep, New York City actually mandated outdoor dining in the middle of winter. The workers got to congregate in the toasty kitchen but the customers were put out on the street. All in the name of "safety".

Bunch of morons.

Thanks for the archive. In the exceedingly unlikely event of my visiting NYC I’ll be sure to stick to streets with lots of restaurants with doormen. It’s great advice. Love that exciting city lifestyle!

She talks about the demise of New York City caused by democrats. What about her?

She was edgy, fun, smart, on point. Now? Boring and irrelevant.
