More cops are needed on the trains. Now.
Leftist are the ones that keep getting elected. Its is who the major of voters in our district want to represent them.
Fear not! Social workers are on on the case! The perp is a misunderstood individual and requires therapy and and a hug ASAP!
Dude, do yourself a favor and move to Texas, Arkansas or Mississippi. This way when you’re a victim of a crime, you’ll be happy to know it was a conservative who caused it.
Arkansas has liberals too. Ever heard of Bill Clinton?
Your retort is redundant. NY has conservatives too ever hear of Rudy Giuliani?
I’m shocked I tell you, just shocked.
I’ve noticed how all of the news leaves out any description of the criminal’s ethnicity, complexion etc. Has being PC gotten out of control?
Because it’s pretty obvious from the the start, you don’t even need to see the photo.
Yes it has. It’s always the same demographics committing the same crimes, but God forbid someone mentions it. It’s “racism”.
A Leftist City in decline.
