If anybody has a problem they have a choice of ANY other social media website, all of which lean left. Conservatives get silenced on those. That's what makes this forum a special place.
City is effed, and we're all screwed. In just six years Sam The Eagle, city council and Albany have sent NYC right back into 1970's. Eegits have no fear because they know courts, DA and LE work for them now.
Case in point; got on "R" train other night. Some eegit is at other end of car banging out a tune, which was annoying but whatever. Then noticed what he was banging with; a giant a$$ magic marker. This guy proceeded to tag every inch of seat,wall and glass in that part of subway car without fear or shame. This was around 5PM, and of course there wasn't a NYPD in sight.
Truth to tell riding subways nowadays is like voyage of the damned. Between homeless, fare evaders, criminals and bums you don't know which way to turn. Best you can hope for is train makes it to your stop (eventually) and you can get off.
Don't know where all those 500 new MTA officers went, because haven't see any uptick in patrols or whatever.
De Blasio responded that the public defenders coalition were the ones twisting data: “It’s a game. They’re wrong.”
I don't generally trust De Blasio on what he says, because it feels to me like he says things off the cuff and with little attempt to understand any data.
That being said, I think there is definitely a lack of clarity and part of the bail reform package, and indeed, any major law changes, should be an outline of what metrics are used to track their effects, what potential side effects there are, and how to modify or rescind laws depending on how those metrics perform.
