Those donuts are disgusting.

Citation for these assertions?

I’ve done this as a local.

I don’t want to check your post history. But I still think you’d be bummed. I think you’re enjoying this thread. Mind you, I can’t prove it.

Edit: I did scroll back through your comments. Seems like about half your comments are calling another commenter an idiot or a moron or impugning their motives in some way. So this thread seems pretty on brand for you. This all reinforces my view that you really do enjoy calling people names on Reddit.

Oops, I confused you and OP.

My own theory is that the a lot of the people who complain about posters like OP would be bummed if they stopped posting, because they enjoy fighting with them.

Just block him and it will be like he and his posts don’t exist.

That term was applied to other parks, too. I think Bryant Park also was a “Needle Park.”

I fear the worst.

Are you familiar with NYC’s jail system?

Is it serious?

I’d have to check the data—surely there were a lot more people in Rikers charged with non-violent crimes, but I’m not sure how many. It’s knowable info from the DOC reports, though.

When you have a city of 8.5 million people, and bail reform prevents any jail time for non-violent offenders (regardless of how many repeat offenses), the 5,000 who are left in the system are very hard cases.

But yet all we hear from the progressive left is “mass incarceration.”

Is this a serious question?

At any rate, the jail population is near historic lows. And yet . . . did you know that the plan to replace Rikers would have a maximum bed capacity of only 3200?

In what area?

Your info is bad and/or outdated. Here is the most recent breakdown of the charges for the average daily population in Rikers.

The most common charge: murder/manslaughter.

I have to think that if we decided to rebuild new facilities on the island, rather than try to put smaller ones in four separate, densely populated locations, Rikers would already be closed.

These vague complaints about “mass incarceration,” as if nothing has changed in NY or NYC in the last 30 years, are essentially criminal justice reform copypasta. By far, the most common charge that defendants in Rikers are locked up on is murder/manslaughter and attempted murder/manslaughter. Want to set them all loose? Pray for their families and neighbors.

>We must also pay attention to the shocking racial disparities in our city’s jails. Black and Latinx people make up 52% of the New York City population but about 90% of jail admissions. Bolstering resources in neighborhoods of color disproportionately affected by incarceration will help those communities support their returning neighbors as we reduce incarceration.

The racial disparities in our city's jails is a reflection of the demographics of the most serious offenders. So, too, are the racial disparities among the victims of violence on this city.

>In 2020, Black New Yorkers, who make up about 24 percent of the city’s population, were the victims in 65 percent of murders and 74 percent of shootings. They were also the largest racial demographic among victims of felony assault and rape.

The people in Rikers are by and large there for pretty serious offenses.

You never watched Crossroads?
