Taunting people with "liberal" death is weird behavior

Nobody is taunting you. Stop being melodramatic. You are trying to argue that NYC and it's subway are safe. Just a few weeks ago the Governor sent the National Guard to patrol the subway because it was getting ridiculously dangerous. She didn't send the NG in because there were too many people holding hands and singing Kumbaya too loudly. You are delusional. I get it. Everyone thought they were bulletproof at one point in their life and the guy I referenced was of the same attitude. He saw the world through a dangerous lens where everyone was a good person deep down and he lost his life because he couldn't see the obvious. A crazy person acting erratically can be very very dangerous. The subway in NYC and most other cities are full of these people. You may ride it for the rest of your life without incident but tomorrow could also be the day that the crazy person in your subway car snaps. You seem to think you are Mr Big City New Yorker who knows it all and is an expert on the city and better than people who don't live there. You are not the first New Yorker with that attitude and you won't be the last. However, at the end of the day, NYC is a Shi^hole and a shell of it's former self.

Lot of words to say nothing lol, she sent the National Guard in as a publicity stunt. Not acting like every homeless person is a murderer is the opposite of “thinking I’m better than everyone.”

I just don’t build my worldview based off of tabloids like so many idiots do now, and then they start making things up about cities they haven’t spent time in and saying corny ass things like “Mr Big City New Yorker” lol

Not really if you're chasing right-of-moderate votes in Long Island and elsewhere in the state, people have done "tough on crime" stunts in election years for decades.

“I’m going to demonstrate that Democrats fight crime as well,” she said Thursday morning on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “This narrative that Republicans have said and hijacked the story that we’re soft on crime, that we defund the police — no.”

And they can't even arrest people, it's pure narrative lol

National Guard soldiers are ill-equipped to respond to NYC subway crime, former officers say

The soldiers lack arrest powers, aren’t trained in handcuffing or local policing laws, and may not be able to communicate with NYPD officers in an emergency, experts said.

And Democrats are soft on crime. That’s not a narrative. It’s a reality. Proven by the fact that they are only interested in appearing to “crack down on crime”.

I mean, I agree that it was a waste, so I suppose we're on the same side of this

But @NashVol11 is right in that I have no direct knowledge of the situation. Never been to New York. No desire whatsoever to visit. Wife has a friend that lives in or near the city. We’ve never taken her up on the offer to come and stay.

Spent last weekend in a North Georgia cabin in the woods. Walked around Blue Ridge and enjoyed the weather. That’s more our speed.

IMO worth a visit at some point especially with a place to stay, but that makes sense. Not NYC but I will say that most of the other small towns/natural areas I've visited in New York State (West Point, Beacon, Cooperstown, Lake Placid, Kingston, etc.) have been beautiful
