From innocents killed in broad daylight to the plague of homeless encampments to the violent crime that grips too many city neighborhoods, New York City has progressives to thank for its endemic disorder.
The Times Square stabbing maniac should not have been walking free: Court records and social-media posts sounded blaring alarms that she needed help . . . but progressives fight tooth and nail against involuntary commitment, no matter how many innocents like Erin Piacenti die.
Or innocents like the one recently killed in a McDonald’s off Times Square, or in the Penn Station stabbing rampage. And don’t get us started on the subway shovings.
Progs insist we can’t even force vagrants into shelters, and our mayor insists the NYPD move slow on encampments, which produces persistent shantytowns near the Intrepid and elsewhere.
Progressive pro-crime laws and a mayor passively aggressive against policing also leave most crime still well above 2019 levels; watch out when the progs finally manage to close Rikers.
