““There was nothing else I could have done to protect myself,” Mr. Weisman, 33, said on Friday.”

He should have moved years ago. He's living in a blue culture hell-hole. Now he says he is surprised something went wrong.

Another moment in history brought to you by the Democrats and their policies.

This is on DeBlasio and his “defund the police.”

No wonder, as Colin Flaherty reports, small police departments in Northern California, Oregon and Washington are filling up with former police officers from NY City, Philly, Washington DC, Chicago, Baltimore, etc.

The safety my family comes first, last and always - I’d hightail it out of those s*** hole cities too.

Sometimes the solution is to move. It’s what a lot of German Jews did in the 1930’s. The smart ones.

It’s what I did 9 years ago when I left Seattle.

Choose your battles.

We moved from the WDC area several years ago to the SW high desert. It was one of the smartest things we have ever done. More popcorn!!!

That’s how I describe our move as well. :)

BTW, we started with only 12 acres, but the guy that owns most of the small valley below us as well as another knob and a couple of hollers and streams next to us sold everything. And he sold that las part as a separate, and cheap, 20 acre plot. It’s ours now. One of those hollers is my own gun range/campground. :)

They trash Giuliani, the guy who cleaned up NYC, took down the mafia and led the city through 911.

I posted on FR Facebook page a copy of an old illustration of the 1880s of why you were safer on the NYC trolley back then than the subway now.

Well, you could have pulled out your pistol and shot him.

In the City of New York, even a properly funded police service cannot combat crime effectively because the jails continuously release criminals without bail, as a new state law now requires. This system leaves the police with little capacity to stop serial criminals who do not commit one of the few offenses that still can result in incarceration pending trial. In the earlier part of the year, some criminals committed felonies, got caught, and got released hundreds of times in rapid succession. This pattern can demoralize quickly even the best police force.
