Schumer Makes Light Of Rising NYC Subway Violence

Schumer is the quintessential politician. Cynical, exploitative and dishonest, he’d throw his mother under the bus if helped further his political career. His cynical and callous disregard for the safety of New Yorkers is yet another indication of his calculating mendacity.

“Schumer Makes Light Of Rising NYC Subway Violence,” by Kerry Picket, Daily Caller, April 24, 2017:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer made light of recent concerns about spikes in New York subway violence by taking a jab at Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his criticism of the city for being “soft on crime.”

“My daughters, you know, they’re young adults, but they ride the subway at 4 a.m., and I’m perfectly happy about it,” Schumer said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Monday. “We are a safe city.”

Schumer went on to say, “And by the way, New York has grown from 7 million people in 1990 to 8.5 million today, the largest of any city, because crime went down,” he continued. “Mothers from Denver and Dallas were not sending their daughters and sons to New York in 1990. Now they’re happy to do it.”

“Here’s the greatest thing I worry about in this country,” Schumer said. “We’re no longer fact-based. The founding fathers created a country based on fact, and we debated the facts. We debated them at the constitutional convention. We debated them in town halls throughout America, and we were supposed to debate them in the legislature. We don’t have a fact base. If, say, Breitbart News and The New York Times are regarded with equal credibility, you worry about democracy.”

“But I’ll be happy to ride the subway at 4 a.m. with Jeff Sessions,” he  added.

However, subway violence in New York City has gone up, according to data from the New York Police Department.

The New York Post reported on March 20 Felony assaults in the subway system rose 16 percent in February in contrast with the same month a year ago,  while last June, The Wall Street Journal reported that sexual offenses on the subway shot up over 50 percent.

Additionally, 88 felony assaults had happened up to that point for the year compared to 74 during the same period in 2016 — a 19 percent increase that has not stopped going up since 2014.

From January through March 2016, assaults on the subway spiked 44 percent — from 52 to 75 percent from 2015, the Post noted….

NYC was brought back to life by Guiliani and then thrived under Bloomberg. Under DeBlasio, it’s all being flushed down the toilet. The place is worse than a sewer now. Homeless everywhere. Trash everywhere. Crime everywhere. Thanks democrats!

Liberals are despicable…lower than gutter dirt!

What a sick, sad society we have become.

Leftists have no morals or ethics. Obama and his liberal cronies hate the Constitution and free market capitalism. He destroyed our economy with measures like the ACA and immigration amnesty. The “Affordable” Care Act has been nothing short of a disaster. My health insurance bill is up to $450/month. (Compare this to my $25/month auto insurance from Insurance Panda or my $10/month renters insurance… both private enterprise!)

The cultural Marxists have really done a number on Western youth, haven’t they? What a bunch of sick people.

DeBlasio is an admitted communist who helped South American communists and celebrated with the communist terrorists. So, his ability to run a city………?

Put your body where your mouth is, Chuckie. Ride the rails at 11:00 p.m. in the Bronx and see how you “fare” with a carload of totally tattoo-ed totalitarians.. Pun intended.

There’s not enough policemen to be everywhere, so that’s why there should be tens of thousands of “Paul Kersey’s” all over America.

Agreed. If the authorities are going to enhance the charges against someone for using a firearm in the commission of a crime against someone, why not no-bill or excuse charges against someone who uses a firearm to stop a crime perpetrated against their person? Or better yet, give them the ceremonial “key to the city” or a certificate of merit of some sort.

He is so full of bull shavaki. His daughters don’t ride the subway. I am sure they are limo-ed to and from work. Someone need to document it by following them and taking some pics. From a distance of course. But maybe not?
