The Challenge: Mayor Adams’ feedback blaming the media for the worry of excessive crime in New York Metropolis.
Right here we go once more: one other Democrat saying “Nothing to see right here” when requested a couple of disaster (“Adams rips crime information,” July 13).
This time it’s s repeat offender, the delusional Mayor Adams, who blames the media for stoking worry about crime within the metropolis.
Neglect concerning the mass exodus of people that have left the town and headed south. Nope, it’s all a figment of your creativeness.
Even idiotic Manhattan District Lawyer Alvin Bragg has come out and stated he doesn’t suppose the subway is protected to journey. However Adams blames the 99.9% liberal media for one more “manufactured” disaster.

It’s time for folks in New York Metropolis to place the blame the place it rightfully belongs. The rising crime charges, subway assaults, anti semitism, anti-Asian hatred — it’s all on you.
You proceed to drink the Kool-Assist and vote for do-nothing Democrats, then act shocked when all the things goes sideways.
Your continuous, blind voting for the Democratic Occasion holds the remainder of the state hostage.
Rep. Lee Zeldin gave Gov. Hochul a run for the cash, however couldn’t overtake the New York Metropolis voting bloc.
Cease whining and suppose clearly the following time you get an opportunity to vote.

The variety of unprovoked assaults on harmless people in New York Metropolis is disgraceful.
Nonetheless, regardless of the makes an attempt by conservatives to depict New York Metropolis because the exception, it isn’t.
It’s clear that there’s a nationwide tradition of violence that have to be addressed and never used as a political soccer to scare folks.
A nationwide program to scale back crime is important. There have to be robust efforts to offer correct assets for our courts, district attorneys and Authorized Assist legal professionals.
Legislation enforcement have to be adequately funded and skilled. As well as, there have to be extra funds for psychological well being and violence prevention. These modifications must be acceptable to all.

The ballot that exhibits New Yorkers within the grip of terror over rising crime suggests the town just isn’t even near the Camelot that Mayor Adams thinks it’s. It extra intently resembles the final scene in “Animal Home.”
There’s the mayor enjoying the a part of Kevin Bacon’s character, standing amid panic within the streets, yelling: “Stay calm! All is nicely!”
In the meantime, the band of progressive ideologues operating our Metropolis Council and state Legislature mindlessly march down a dead-end road, enjoying the identical previous tune of progressive “reforms.”
Bragg performs the position of the exasperated Dean Wormer. Regardless of all of the chaos round him, no person’s going to jail. All Bragg can provide is double-secret probation.
An trustworthy reply to voters asking what went unsuitable would get the identical reply Flounder acquired for lamenting the destruction of his brother’s automotive: “You f - - ked up. You trusted us.”

So apparently we solely have the media in charge for the worry of crime in New York Metropolis. Who would have thought?
The mayor, district lawyer, governor and Metropolis Council members all imagine New Yorkers are silly.
So when will this all cease? My guess is when one among these politicians’ relations is harmed.
The atypical citizen is rarely their concern, however god forbid it occurs to them. Then they’ll get up to the issue they’ve created.
Hopefully, the residents of this metropolis will get up and kick all these people out of workplace. I gained’t maintain my breath.

It’s good to see The Submit proceed to warn us concerning the ever-increasing threats to city-dwellers’ security.
The “strolling dread,” as you name it, it’s far too variety. Adams and the progressives have destroyed primary freedoms all of us took as a right and let the roving miscreants take middle stage.
Thanks, Adams, for the continued demise of Gotham, which the buffoon earlier than you initiated.
