Ha, just look at Republican run cities and the crime is even worse. For starters, citi-data crime index for Republican Tulsa is 569.7. For New York City it's only 221.4 It's little wonder why Tulsa has to resort to attracting new people to move there by bribing them with $10,000 to come there as remote workers. So, folks, this is quite a serious thread fail.
I voted yes kind of as a joke because the rising crime is certainly a big problem but the vast majority of city dwellers are decent people that do not deserve to be locked down.
Locking down a city like NY or LA reminds me of the "Escape from..." movies.
Maybe that is what we need, a city that is walled off where we can drop all the criminals into.
If you mess up 3 times you are sent to the penal colony.
The answer to all of this is an easy one. Prosecute and lock up the Criminals. Why is this such a odd concept for the Democrat elected?

I agree that there are worse places than NYC.
More importantly, it's not my problem. That's up to NYC or Tulsa or *whatever* voters.
Clearly some places have surging violence due to a variety of factors including policing and ironically the people bearing the brunt of this pain are poorer minorities....but it's being labeled as progress.
In John Carpenter’s movie “Escape from New York”, they turned Long Island into a maximum security prison. There was no way to get out because of a very tall wall built around it, and was constantly patrolled. Good movie, watch it if you’ve never seen it.
It wasn't Long Island,..lol,.....
It was Manhattan.
Although, with as much thuggery and violent criminality today, we could probably fill something as huge as Long Island.
I hear violence can be contagious. Just look at most democrat run cities. I don't want my family to be exposed to that. Should we just lock down/quarantine the whole of NYC and let this play out??? You know... To flatten the curve?
I think we should close all the bridges and turn it into a democrat paradise, like in "Escape from New York".
All the libs could move there and enjoy a city with no police and rule by warlords and live the liberal dream.
NYC knows how to deal with the violence. We just elected a bunch of worthless Democrat machine hacks who don't have the balls to do what they know needs to be done.
