Interesting read on crime from a New Yorker:
So, public disorder is rising in urban areas run by leftists in America. There's no doubt about that. So, if you go to San Francisco or Chicago or New York City or Baltimore or Saint Louis and on and on and on and on. You are not safe. And the reason that you are not safe any longer because you were safe maybe 6 or 7 years ago, is because the leftist district attorney's refuse to punish criminals. It's as simple as that. If you do not punish the miscreants, they're going to run wild and hurt people. That's it. Now I'm going to prove it to you. I'm going to prove it to you. So, New York City, just yesterday, a Monday in late March. Ordinary day. 31-year-old police officer Jonathan Diller shot dead in a traffic stop. His alleged killer, Guy Rivera has been arrested 21 times, including 9 felonies. He's out on the street with a gun. Okay, that's New York City. So, this 31-year-old officer, married, couple of kids. He's dead. Because they won't keep this guy Rivera in prison. That's it.
Okay. Same day, Monday. A commuter was standing waiting for the subway car when someone pushed him onto the tracks, and he was killed for no reason. Okay, no reason at all. The suspect has been arrested. Carlton McPherson, 24. Okay. And he has been released without bail on Halloween last year after being arrested for assault, menacing and other charges in Brooklyn. He failed to show up twice for his hearing. Still out on the street. Now he's arrested for pushing this worker, this commuter to his death. And they give him $2,000 bail - which he meets. He's out on the street. The guy who allegedly pushed an innocent person in front of a subway is out today walking around. This is impossible to believe, but it is true.
Okay. Yesterday, Monday, New York City, at least 3 people were stabbed. Slashed, okay, in public on the street. And a woman, 46-year-old, found dead in her Bronx house. And it looks like a homicide. Subway violence in New York City is up 50% from 2019. 50%. Now again, the reason is the D.A., Alvin Bragg, a Soros man. Funded by George Soros will not prosecute crimes. And the Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, in way over his head. He's a bystander. Okay? He does nothing. He doesn't even speak out about this stuff. There's nothing from him. So, I gave him a chance. All right. I met him a couple of times. Seems like an okay guy, but it's a disaster. New York City is a disaster. And then you have the legislature in Albany who passed these insane no bail laws signed by former Governor Andrew Cuomo and certified by present Governor Kathy Hochul. Now, all of the names I mentioned of these politicians, they don't care about you. At all. They don't care whether you live or you die. And that is the situation we are in.
Since 2018, 1 million people have left New York State. 1 million. Since 2018, 812,000 have left New York City. Again, these politicians do not care. This whole state, New York in 5 years, if it keeps going this way, will collapse financially. Because the people paying the taxes are getting the deuce out of here. They're being replaced by migrants who are not going to be able to pay taxes. In fact, they will take from the city and state governments. Okay, that's where we are. And that's the Memo. So, it's politics. Its far-left people being elected to office by Americans. It's not like Adams and Bragg and Hochul and Cuomo just showed up. They were elected. And it doesn't even matter how poorly they perform, how dangerous the city is. Millions of people still vote for them again. And we got that with Joe Biden as well.
