Oh great, what happened to Adams being tough on crime. If his version of being tough on crime means saying how we need to help the CRIMINAL because he's "in pain" then we have a terrible 4 years ahead.

Btw, the Good Samaritan that was beaten and robbed was also Asian, as was the woman pushed into the train and killed. The guy who attacked the good Samaritan was already arrested and ticketed about a week ago for punching a woman in her 40s who tried to "assist" him (wonder what it is about the guy that inspires so much assistance?), and was also arrested and ticketed for punching two teenagers (who at least, I believe, did not provoke him in any way, ie, did not try to "assist" him).


Adams said we need to irradiate the guy's pain? What does that even mean (unless the guy beats up people because he has a brain tumor that may respond to radiation)?

No doubt Democrat Adams will continue to throw money at the problem (because that is the only way Democrats know how to solve every problem) and no doubt it will finally solve the problem.
It really worked in Sf. Only reason with don’t have tent cities is because it’s too cold here.

This video is a short recap of DeBlasio's 4 year stint as New York City's worst mayor.
Any attempt of good went poof!

Why would you approach a ticking time bomb? I avoid the mentally ill addicts on the street like the plague. The closest I get is tossing a bag of McDonalds fast food their way from the cracked open window of my car.
It can be an unpredictible situation. I have had an offer of food rejected more then once, I posted a while back about one guy freaking out and yelling. No assault but you never know.

I occasionally give on the subway if they are calmly asking for food and I have some. Never an issue with that situation.

They mostly want an offer of money (to buy drugs), and it is not rare that they consider any other offer as an insult. That (rather than "pain") might have also been the reason for the reaction to the Good Samaritan described in this thread.

Probably not a good idea to approach someone that is sleeping on the floor and try to place a coat on them... It might freak them out.

Queens: An Asian woman (in her 70s, retired nurse) was purposely knocked down from behind by some huge creep. Her face all bruised, eye swollen shut.

Park Slope; a big monster punches an elderly man who uses a cane and then flees.

The Bronx: A 28 year old woman gets stabbed and beaten by 2 thugs.

And all the assaults not captured on surveillance tapes.

Uh...

That's how it works. If you volunteer to help at risk people, there's a risk someone will be aggressive.

If you go work in a soup kitchen in the ghetto, there's a chance you'll get robbed.

If you go offer food to people down at Kensington in Philly, there's a chance something happens.

If you stay at home and watch TV in your big McMansion on the hill and don't volunteer, then you probably won't...

and they want to build a homeless shelter 2 blocks from my apartment on vacant land, and this is why the community is fighting it, no, I don't want these mentally disturbed dangerous 150 males roaming the streets of my neighborhood, a homeless shelter does not belong here .


now, if the shelter was for the families of that Bronx fire that lost thier home, I absolutley would be in support opf that, because thier home was d4estroyed by a fire, but mentally ill men, no, i have no use for that in my neighborhood,. These homeless mentally disturbed men are dangerous, you cant trust them



and bug bird wants to evenly distributed thru out the boroughs, goidd job at ruining all our neighborhood you freaking idiot.


lets see what Adams is going to do for us, most likley squat.
