Every vote counts, even votes from IDIOTS, like her.

Who did you Joan?
Did you vote for soft on crime, believing yourself to be immune from the rising crime rate because you’re rich?

[SharpRightTurn]

I’d love to know how Joan has voted for the past 60 years.

What that place really needs is more democrat politicians. They will certainly fix things up, and they like abortion.

[lowbridge]

Joan Roth is a well known photographer, and has donated to Democrat campaigns over the years. So, yes. She voted for it.

Joan Roth is the scared — and angry — face of spiraling crime on the Upper East Side. In three years, she’s been robbed and assaulted three times...

Pretty sure she's still ahead, she's probably voted Democrat more than three times, Karma's still on it's way.

I’d bet good money the attitude of the gooberment there is that she is old and will be dead soon so why bother? She’s just not able to transition to the new world and way of doing things. Building back better, bidennomics and all that good stuff don’t you know?

[jeffersondem]

In three years she has been assaulted three times. She needs to get out of that neighborhood; maybe out of the entire state.

Hard to pick up and go at age 81 but for her own safety she should move elsewhere if possible; the next time she may not be as lucky.

[Sequoyah101]

It is such a stupid thing to do, voting for rats, it never enters my mind that seemingly normal people can do this sort of thing.

[DennisR]

“He had 61 prior arrests, including rape, assault, and drug possession, police sources said.”

Just the kind of guy Democrats/liberals love. He obviously cannot be responsible for his own bad choices, so he should be able to run around free. /s

[Gaffer]

60 years in a rent-controlled apartment and she’s complaining? Isn’t UES some kind of poshy neighborhood? Article says she is a photographer. I wonder if that was for some leftist publication in NYC.

[Gaffer]

No sympathies for her. She voted for it.

[Jonty30]

I think a lifetime in a rent controlled apartment is a clue.

[cgbg]

I cannot relate to someone who chose to live in NYC their entire lives.

To quote some guy who everybody hates—I need living space.

;-)

[AppyPappy]

In her defense, she didn’t vote for crime to happen to HER. She voted for crime to happen to THOSE people.

[mrmeyer]

Feel good story of the day.

[VTenigma]

Howdja vote dumbass?

[from occupied ga]

I have some advice for her:

JOANIE BABY - STOP VOTING DEMOCRAT!

Everything wrong with NYC is caused by the people who live there. The politicians are the symptom not the disease.
