We dwell in a actually Orwellian world when the mayor of New York City sheds tears for the death of a madman who was jailed for hacking an harmless sufferer to death with a meat cleaver (“Zo sheds tears for a monster,” Aug. 28).
That the killer was solely in a position to commit that homicide as a result of he was mystifyingly freed on parole for different violent crimes renders Mayor Mamdani’s sympathies even more reprehensible.
In his world, every part is upside-down: The police are criminals, violent gang members are innocents, Hamas murderers are freedom fighters, Jews are hated oppressors, America has a racist dictatorship and Russia, China, Iran and Cuba are utopian fashions of idyllic political and financial existence.

Well, I’m deeply saddened that Mamdani is the mayor of New York City. Anyone who voted for him ought to be sending apology letters to Jose Miranda’s household. And, by the way in which, the best strategy to keep away from dying in a jail cell is to not commit crimes.
The mayor’s obligation is to guard law-abiding residents of town, not be the mourner-in-chief for criminals. Why that must be mentioned in any respect is a thriller.

It’s no secret he desires Rikers closed. Of course he has no thought as to the place to put the inmates, besides maybe releasing them back among the many unsuspecting population for more innocents to be killed.

It’s all enjoyable and video games with these unhinged sewer dwellers till one of them bodily assaults some younger kids. “Mental illness” is echoed advert nauseam however nothing is ever achieved.
Stop permitting our high quality of life to be destroyed by a handful of mentally unstable people. Remember high quality of life back when Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg have been mayor?
