Get ready to be annoyed by people looking for free rides (New York: attorney, schools)

So now it will be legal for freeloaders to bother you as you exit the subway after a long day at WORK and intimidate you to swipe for them. Every week that goes by, the criminals and freeloaders get more and more "rights" to keep being freeloaders to the working society.

I love this quote right under the picture "James Green at 125th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue this month. “They don’t want you to hop and they don’t want you to ask for a swipe,” he said. “What exactly are you supposed to do?”"

HOW ABOUT GET A JOB AND PAY FOR YOUR FARE STUPID?!

And don't give me the "we need to care for he jobless and homeless" BS. Look at that picture, this man is not handicapped in any way. He can and should get the help from one of the MANY gov't training programs which would teach him a skill which would enable him to get a job and earn his own money. But no, it's easier to wake up at 1pm everyday and not have to worry about getting up to go to work.

They already are at my station.

We won't arrest them, we'll just fine them.


So they don't have $2.75 train fare but they'll have the $50+ for a fine? Ok.


I love the guy that was job hunting since 10:30 am, got tired in the afternoon and needed a swipe home. Poor soul.

Next thing you know it raping people will be legal.

• Pissing in the streets
• asking for free swipes/rides
• panhandling
• open containers of alcohol
• smoking a blunt
• Taking up more than one seat on the subway

All of the above have been "decriminalized" under this administration. I may be missing a few.

Who's side is this mayor and administration on? Definitely not the working tax paying folks.

Well now kids can try stabbing others in school with scissors and nothing will happen. I guess we can try the new approach of talking and comforting lawbreakers just like how it's being done for schools. "Why you did that Jimmy? Bad bad! No more rape or free swipes OK?"

The voter's side of course, the majority of whom pay no income taxes so there you go.

In a statement announcing the change, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., the Manhattan district attorney, cited a desire to free the police, prosecutors and courts from processing the most minor cases. “And by reducing unnecessary incarceration, we make our criminal justice system fairer for all New Yorkers,” he said in the statement.


I can almost guarantee that Vance hasn't taken the subway in a coon's age. What an utter joke this is.

It doesn't bother me I just keep on steppin, when beggers ask me for a swipe I don't even acknowledge them.
