Subway crime madness: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Sixty-three repeat offenders chargeable for more than 5,000 subway-related crimes.
It’s virtually unbelievable to assume that thugs who’ve been arrested over 100 occasions are nonetheless roaming the streets to prey on us (“Snakes on the prepare,’’ Sept. 8).
This is due to the no-bail nonsense Gov. Andrew Cuomo instituted. Can we think about what is going to occur if this communist, Zohran Mamdani is elected? An antisemite bigot who needs to defund the police (no matter what he now says) is the very last thing our great metropolis wants.

How insane is it that 63 profession criminals are chargeable for over 5,000 crimes in our subway system? Time after time after time, these people are arrested and launched with out bail to prey on hard-working New Yorkers.
The liberal politicians who backed the bail-reform invoice ought to be compelled to experience the subways with out their bodyguards and get to fulfill these people nose to nose. I wager after the primary one of them will get robbed or assaulted, the narrative will change, and so will the bail legal guidelines.

The legal guidelines permitting repeat offenders to repeatedly be let unfastened aren’t solely insane however harmful to our communities.
Our elected officers are guilty by not making use of common-sense options to this drawback. All now we have to do is make sure perpetrators are both incarcerated or get mental-health remedy as a substitute of being put back on the road. I don’t wish to see one other case of a prison with 30 or 40 prior arrests accused of homicide.

I discover it outrageous that 5,000 crimes might have been averted by merely locking up a mere 63 repeat criminals.
This confirms that the thug-huggers in energy are poisoning not solely our subway system, but additionally communities throughout our metropolis and nation. We need to vote them out of workplace.

New York City has turn into uncivilized and harmful. If judges and prosecutors proceed to put criminals back on the streets, frontier justice will come up and put an finish to crime and restore peace and security. Why is our tax money not paying for peace and security?

The Issue: Ken Giardin’s column on Zohran Mamdani’s imprecise, self-contradictory solutions in interviews.
For months, The Post has been describing how regressive and far-fetched Zohran Mamdani’s dangerous insurance policies can be if he have been elected mayor (“Don’t take Zoh for an answer,” Ken Girardin, Sept. 9).
With the City Council, state Legislature and governor additionally all liberal, the outcomes shall be catastrophic. Voters, beware: Mamdani solely tells half of it when outlining his plans. New Yorkers can’t say they weren’t warned.
We need anybody however Mamdani. Unfortunately, Curtis Sliwa would face complete resistance, therefore complete gridlock. Andrew Cuomo, baggage and all, would convey expertise and be the best selection to advertise compromise and moderation.

If anybody needs to see phrase salads and rambling from Zohran Mamdani, simply ask him in regards to the government-run grocery shops he advocates for. Since he doesn’t consider that shoplifters ought to be punished, how would he deal with an military of people stealing from these shops?
How would he cowl the losses? Since he needs to raise the minimal wage to $30 an hour, how long can he operate within the purple? Why would food distributors lengthen him credit?
Ask him these questions, and also you’ll by no means get a straight reply.
