Can somebody explain something to me. Everyday – whether here or in the NY Daily News there is a story about a robbery, rape, murder, assault, abuse, and on and on. So how can Mayor DeButthead and Police Commissioner O’Neill say that crime is down? Are they only counting murders and not other crimes against people that will probably scar them, make them scared to travel or go places they usually went and devastate them for life? Also, I’m not a racist or bigot at all (I have friends of every race, culture and religion) but every robbery or crime is done by somebody hispanic or black.

Your last sentence is extremely racist and untrue. Also, even if a crime were reported every day, there are 365 days in a year, and 8,500,000 people in the city. That’s a very low rate.
Crime being down does not mean that crime no longer exists.

Did they ever catch the T-Mobile store store robbers? How about Guitar Center thieves? Pharmacy shooter? Chase bank robbers?

Best Buy harasses paying customers at the door, but lets people walk away with 17 phones from their storage cabinets?

How do they harass? I use this branch for most of my BB purchases and 100% of my geek squad. They are amazing.

Further reports indicate that Apple is furious. They want the 3 phones recovered immediately.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
