A Queens woman who lost an eye in a horrifying caught-on-camera attack this past September blasted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday after the lawmaker suggested funding for much-needed NYPD raises instead be given to the Big Apple’s public schools, pools, parks and libraries.
Elizabeth Gomes, 33, who was dragged across the Howard Beach-JFK Airport subway station by a homeless ex-con last year, decried the “Squad” member’s calls to reduce police funding in an interview with “Fox & Friends.”
“Once you put safety first, everything else will go right after it,” Gomes said. “I cannot call a teacher if I need help. If a man is running me down, I cannot call a teacher. I’m going to have to call the police. I’m going to be praying for police, not a teacher.”

In 1995, law enforcement sources say Foster was arrested for murdering his 82-year-old foster grandmother in a brutal beating at the age of 14. Six years later, he was arrested for stabbing his 21-year-old sister with a screwdriver. Then in 2010, he was arrested for attacking three workers at the Creedmore Psychiatric Center, where he was an inpatient. He was on parole until November 2024 at the time of last week’s attack.
Hey Elizabeth - are you one of those New Yorkers who hates Trump? Who did you vote for in the last election?
Even if they get more police in NYC they won’t be able to do jack.

Sorry ladyjane, but victim shaming is beneath most Freepers. Whether she hates Trump and voted for Biden or not, she didn’t deserve to have a deranged lunatic homeless guy in an airport attack her and take out an eye.
“Look at the way she’s dressed, she was asking for it!”
Nope. Nuh uh.
