In The News Today...

Jamie Dimon who is a smarter executive stopped asking nice some time ago, he said get back in here to work.

Yeah, well, they're not going back.

One Goldman Sachs worker was shot dead a few weeks ago on the subway in a random shooting, weeks after he decided to brave the trains.

This happened weeks after a gunman randomly shot ten people on the subway, and a woman was pushed into the path of an oncoming train.

Notice, the headline reads 'Held without Bail'. Even for a shooting, being held without bail is almost non-existent in NYS.

Prior to that mass shooting, subway crime was already up 70% over last year.

This is yesterday's push. They do it for amusement.

Most of the crimes are never reported by the victims. Like this one, and this one.


"New poll finds crime, subway safety are top concerns keeping New Yorkers from returning to offices"

"Brooklyn Subway Shooting Reverberates as New York Tries to Get People to Return to Work"

"Concern About Crime Stymies Return to Office in New York City"

The sharp rise in crime is mostly due to Cuomo's so called 'Bail Reform' law, which is in fact, a 'No Jail' law. This one was released on bond after shooting a police officer.

"Mayor Adams calls NYC’s criminal justice system ‘laughingstock of our entire country"

"Adams, a former NYPD captain, added, “And you know what’s interesting? You do a profile, the picture that’s emerging after the shooting, after the arrest, after being let go — You know what they do? They go do another shooting.”

Nothing is going to be done about it. We will elect our next Governor on June 28th, and only one of the three candidates supports a change in the 'No Jail' law to allow judicial discretion, and he's going to lose.

The Mayor is coming around but not getting support from State authorities. He has figured out that guns aren’t committing crimes; criminals are. There are not just gun crimes. People tossing people onto subway tracks more often. People hitting people for no reason. All kinds of crime.

Why would anyone WANT to go back to work in the city? It may not get covered well outside the city area but you can bet people there hear the news and are more concerned than normal. People deciding to take $40 Uber rides to work and back, negating a lot of the higher wages earned there.

Criminals going to jail stops repeat crimes and has some impact on potential criminals. Criminals let out time after time also sends a message.

Why do I care? I live near a big city. We have no subway, so that crime does not happen…but way too many criminals are let out on no or low bail and crime is up. They are spreading their crime into suburban areas. Perhaps more will meet lead justice if they get too far out in the country but not everyone is armed.

Progressive Democrats are part of the problem in this issue. Their Soros led crime spree is spreading.

Adams started an anti-gun squad, that quickly made hundreds of arrests and got 2,300 guns off the streets. Every one of those arrested, was released within hours of their arrest.

The Golden Sachs employee got tired of paying $40 for Uber and took his chances riding the trains. Two weeks later, he was dead.

The big banks stay here because they own the NY Fed, which has pumped trillions into them to ease the liquidity crisis. $3 trillion in 2019 alone. They are supervised by the Fed, but at the same time they elected two-thirds of it's Board of Directors, and participate in advisory groups to 'hash out' best practices for the Fed. Such as pumping trillions into the banks, and ignoring their derivatives exposure.

JPM, C, GS, BAC, MS - Too big to let themselves fail.

Those five banks are sitting on $200 trillion in derivatives.

What are the odds of getting shot on a NYC subway
Way way way way less then 1%
Yawn
Going with a bunch of anecdotes
Meaningless
I have no doubt somebody just got murdered in NYC
As I'm typing, another went down
Regardless
That's not the main reason people are not going to the office
Such BS
I visited Jackson MS
Conservatives in the campground were actually shocked lol
It's not that bad out there
No way I'm getting in a bunker
I'm out and about enjoying the country

I guess you are trying to be funny because I am sure the sentence is easily understandable.

Guns don’t fire themselves.

Criminals fire guns in commission of crimes.

Many, many crimes do not have guns involved, yet he spent a lot of his first few months blaming guns for what criminals have been doing. He has turned around on that because getting the guns and letting the criminals go has not stopped or slowed crime.

Criminals being let out with no bail are committing new crimes. Some use guns, some do not. Crime is crime.

Some people have their head in the sand about the issue of rising crime. Many people are concerned about it.

Only a moron is not concerned at all.

Speaking of which, Fox News will not be airing the prime time Jan. 6th hearing this week.

Talk about head in the sand. God forbid their viewers learn their political heroes are criminals!

Exactly. Isolate guns from criminals and they won’t fire themselves. I see this morning the republicans have put universal background checks off the table. Not exactly doing even the most minimal action.

Unless you want to pass federal legislation over local municipalities, you can stop ranting about local crime.

Is Burger King pandering or progressive?

Introducing the "Pride Burger," where you can have either two tops or two bottoms.

Seriously.
