Some of the hardest working people in the city.

I guess you asked me to create a post, and that's more energy to me than a comment. These comments take very little energy.

I'll edit to "are".

I'm not even making a post about getting rid of this one, just expressing mild dissent. 😂 I generally save my energy for more pressing issues than statues, but feel free to point me towards anything you think should come down. The most obvious target to me in NYC is the Columbus statue at Columbus Circle.

That's a good counter-argument. I think for a lot of people the spree mugging is a big enough issue that they are going to have an issue memorializing them.

Those statues and holidays are also wrong. Does that make you right?

It is absolutely unjust and should be recognized as such. This thread was, from the beginning, talking about recognizing that while not memorializing people that nonetheless also committed other crimes.

And those statues were also wrong. Does that make you right?

Or maybe they're both bad and you shouldn't treat politics as a team sport? Maybe grow up a little?

She's going to jail and ruined her own life. It only pays if you don't get nailed to the wall. Everyone dumb enough to commit these crimes thinks they are too smart to get caught.

It's a win according to the decarceration movement, and I can guarantee you that the people pushing decarceration don't give a single shit about Asian or Jewish victims.

They invented a concept of "white adjacency" out of whole cloth to justify their own racism against Asian people.

r/NYC is the better name. I think we'll all stay here. If you'd like to move to a differently-named sub to avoid the critics here, feel free.

I dunno, you sound pretty racist yourself.

Foosball.

Holy shit you're right. Aren't the Times writers striking today, or was that yesterday?

The coke-fueked rage has to go somewhere.

Then he would be correct in many cases.

The group with the highest poverty rate in the city has the lowest crime rate. Blaming crime almost entirely on poverty is just as stupid as claiming poverty has no impact. Both are denying reality.

You can't fix cultural and personal issues by ignoring them and blaming only society.

Yep. Either way, they should be in jail.

Guess we'll have to pay them more! The horror.

Had to spell it out for our friend.

This one right here chief, which I've posted liberally before and I'm pretty positive you've seen. But sure, try to downplay it: https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/new-york-elections-government/ny-nyc-crime-poll-ny1-siena-college-20220607-7f3g7yxtqnawhflxuuapf5s4ue-story.html

Correct: https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/new-york-elections-government/ny-nyc-crime-poll-ny1-siena-college-20220607-7f3g7yxtqnawhflxuuapf5s4ue-story.html

75%. 75% of city residents were polled and said crime is a major issue. You are so delusional.

Point to the brigadiers. Please explain who is brigading. You've made the accusation so many time with literally no evidence. Assuming that it does happen, explain why it's limited exclusively to people that disagree with you politically.
