An article<\/a> by Ann Ley in last week’s New York Times begins:\u00a0 “A string of frightening attacks in the subway amid a broader increase in crime in the system so far this year<\/a> has put some New Yorkers on edge.”\u00a0 The article goes on to discuss what experts believe the city and transit authorities must do to make riders “feel” safe.\u00a0 While data suggests that subway crime is down slightly compared to last year, subway riders do not feel safe.\u00a0 As Ann Coulter notes in a recent piece<\/a> on the subject,\u00a0 “the experts\u2019 ideas were not aimed at actually reducing crime \u2014 which to be fair, is impossible if you\u2019re not allowed to put criminals in prison\u2014but to \u201cease riders\u2019 fears about the subway.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The suggestions include random bag checks, X-ray machines to find guns, new fare gates that are harder to jump and more lighting.\u00a0\u00a0 Bag checks and X-ray machines might screen out some guns, but quite a bit of subway crimes does not involve guns.\u00a0 As Coulter notes:\u00a0 “Just this Monday<\/a>,\u00a0a 52-year-old man was stabbed in the neck on a J train; a 21-year-old woman was stabbed at the Franklin Avenue station; and,\u00a0at 7 p.m., a 54-year-old man was killed at the 125th\u00a0<\/sup>Street<\/a> station after being pushed onto the tracks of an incoming subway train by career criminal Carlton McPherson.”<\/p>\n

More lighting?\u00a0 Coulter continues:<\/p>\n

“…lighting has done absolutely nothing to impede violent crazies, as evidenced by the vast collection of well-lit videos showing monstrous crimes being committed on the subway. The last video I saw of an Asian man being punched and choked<\/a> on a subway was so well-shot it could have been nominated for best cinematography.<\/p>\n

Other nominees include:<\/p>\n

\u2014 Video of a psychopath attempting to rape<\/a> a woman on a Lexington Avenue subway platform at 11 a.m. one Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u2014\u00a0Video of a psychopath smashing human feces<\/a> into a woman\u2019s face at a Bronx subway station.<\/p>\n

\u2014\u00a0Video of a psychopath<\/a> punching and kicking<\/a> a woman in the face at a subway stop in Jamaica Queens (leaving her blind in one eye).<\/p>\n

\u2014 Multiple videos of psychopaths shoving bystanders onto the train tracks \u2014 in the Bronx<\/a>, at the Times Square<\/a> station, at the Union Square<\/a> station, at the Hunter<\/a> College station, at the 53rd and Fifth<\/a> Avenue station, etc.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the well-lit videos, the suspects are usually apprehended within hours, as soon as facial recognition software connects them to their previous mugshots. (The phrase \u201cprevious mugshots\u201d is a big, juicy clue if you\u2019re tackling the \u201chow to stop crime\u201d challenge.)<\/p>\n

For example, the broad-daylight rapist had already been arrested at least\u00a014 times<\/a>. Each time, D.A. Bragg simply let him go. The feces assailant had a slew of arrests for assault, theft and hate crimes, but the Bronx D.A., Darcel Clark, also kept unleashing him on the public for more rollicking fun.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The solution to the subway crime problem is the same as the solution to the street crime problem in New York City . . . Start cracking down on criminals.<\/p>\n

Alvin Bragg, Darcel Clark and other Soros-funded district attorneys refuse to prosecute most criminals and most are released shortly after arrest because of New York’s zero bail law. Coulter again:<\/p>\n

“The Times Square subway shover has racked up a half-dozen prior arrests for things like beating and kicking a 57-year-old woman in the face, scratching a woman in the eye, stealing a woman\u2019s cellphone, repeatedly punching an 18-year-old woman in the face and biting her. Released, released, released, sentenced to death and released again. One of those is fake.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

People are not going to “feel” safe on New York subways until city and state leaders take real action to actually make them safe.\u00a0 In most cases that means replacing the politicians who’s policies caused the increases in crime.<\/p>\n
