New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is sending in the state National Guard to New York City to help police curb a surge in crime in the city’s subways.
Announcing a five-point plan on Wednesday, the Democratic governor said she was deploying 750 members of the National Guard to the subways to assist the New York Police Department with bag searches at entrances to busy train stations.
"For people who are thinking about bringing a gun or knife on the subway, at least this creates a deterrent effect. They might be thinking, 'You know what, it just may just not be worth it because I listened to the mayor and I listened to the governor and they have a lot more people who are going to be checking my bags,'" Hochul said at a news conference in New York City.

When RATS are running the show in NY City, and the whole State, nothing is unbelievable.
Gonna be a real kerfuffle when it gets a little too real for the Governor.
But the leftists I argue with on Lefty websites said crime is down!
Then she erected a neon sign that said “Help!”
Escape From New York remake?
Imagine what the MSM-Democrats would be saying, if a white Republican governor did this with a black Democrat NYC mayor.
Never let a created crisis go to waste.
Nothing to worry about! Just present your papers, if you are a Trump supporter, just make sure you are wearing your “T” on your clothes, kiss their boots and move along your way...
The crime reason is suspect. I think this is because of some terrorist threat perhaps.
Idiots... rhymes with leftists, or close enough. Letting these criminals walk free then ask the National Guard to clean up their mess. Madness.
Defund the police don’t work so well huh NY?
No cash bail and instant release not so good, either ay?
Are BLM and ANTIFA happy now that the NG has to be brought in for some kind of martial law instead of local policing?
Are the voters who elected this shitty govt satisfied?
The criminals will probably just rob people after they exit the station.
In the old days, convicts used to have large metal balls attached to their legs.

As if the real estate developers need another excuse to abandon NYC.
I think so too.
“But the leftists I argue with on Lefty websites said crime is down!”
Same here. I agree, that “reported” crime is down, but actual crime is going way up. One example is a lot of stores do not even report thefts anymore.
And any illegal trespassers from MS-13 and China will be fast-tracked into the New York National Guard.
What could possibly go wrong??
And when the Rats throw buckets of water, piss, or other stuff on the Patrols, what will happen?
What happens when the social media call goes out to mob rush heavily uniformed, out of shape, or slightly built targets?
Everyone stopped will scream “Raayycissst!”!
Lawyers will circle, and weekend warriors and their families will be sacrificed.
This will end badly, as planned.
Kind of a drastic measure; they just need to pass a law making subway crime illegal! 🙄
“cash bail”
For say sole perpetrator shoplifting, your choice:
1. pay a fine of $200,
2. serve 85 hours now
(reduced by one hour for every $2.50/paid at booking),
3. serve 150 hours in a penalty time room
before 30 days are up, with the hours served in the 168 hours after booking counted as double, or
4. face the judge
