Murders in NYC surge…
…for second week in a row as coronavirus lockdown continues
By Peter Aitken
Despite coronavirus lockdown measures, murders in New York City have doubled over last years’s numbers for the second consecutive week.
This week last year, the city saw five murders to this year’s 10 murders, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) reported.
The NYPD regularly publishes statistics through its CompStat portal, comparing current stats with the equivalent period in the previous year. While some crimes — including felony assault and rape — have declined, murder has increased, as did burglary and grand larceny auto, according to the department.
In the first quarter of 2020, from January through March, murders increased by just under 6 percent in comparison to 2019, with the NYPD reporting 92 murders up from 87 during the first quarter last year.
While the total is small when compared with Chicago and Baltimore, the rate increase is troubling, and likely the result of too many people too close together, for too long. Read the rest here: Fox News

This just proves once again that low life criminals never rest. Every opportunity they find to be the shitbags they are, they take advantage of. Welfare is just not enough for some. I think the next step should be a curfew unless you are working. Anyone else breaking curfew gets charged with, yet another, felony. Hopefully, it will be the third bang and they’ll do long time.
What?! Criminals aren’t abiding by the quarantine order?! Next you are going to tell me the mass simultaneous release of incarcerated upstanding citizens and “bail reform” is contributing to the increase….
I’m going out on a limb here but what the heck. It’s the internets and the internets is all about the free exchange of ideas.
It’s almost like convicted criminals act in an anti-social manner and don’t follow the law.
Can’t possibly be the case. Why, if that were true the media would be screaming for heads on a platter!
Well, they would be if a conservative mayor/governor had done it. But since the ones in charge doing that seem to lean
SocialistLeftist“Progressive”, the press is being “strangely” silent on the matter.And, they wonder why we would argue for gun shops being labeled as essential businesses. Wasn’t there a state, or city government that asked criminals not to shoot anybody in order for there to be room in hospitals for coronavirus victims? I believe somebody pointed that out on one of the threads here last month.
Houston’s Mayor.

And then we had a similar comment added post on Baltimore’s Mayor and his plea.

This is all Trumps fault. If he had just sent more ventilators, PPE, and money to Noo Yawk Shitty, …err City, then hizz honor the Mayor would not have had to release some of the urban entrepreneurs to keep them safe from dying of the virus. And don’t forget all of the mercy killings for the people infected with the virus. He was injected with 3 9 mm rounds but he died of coronavirus…after we put him on the ventilator. That’ll be 51K USD please.
Interesting. Perhaps other places that are releasing prisoners prematurely or with no bail will experience something similar?
The police chief in the city closest to me said that crime is down in all categories. Fires are up a bit (more cooking at home?) but traffic accidents, felonies of all sorts and misdemeanors are down.
*DUUUUUHHHHH!*, crime go up, it not Mayor’s fault because him say so. GEE WHIZ, first they let criminals mostly go Scot-free and now the IDIOT Mayor of NYC is letting masses of them go and wondering why things are going to shit! Anyone wanna bet that the harebrained libs will showcase that and call for more Gun Control?
A nice song about a crappy place. I wonder if with the lesser traffic have they patched any of those pot holes? I hit a bump there once in a twin screw R model Mack and almost broke my neck. Another time I took a go around following another driver who knew the city very well . He said lets go thru the shit hole. Well we came around a corner and under a bridge and half of NYPD had a whole bunch of dindo nufins spread out across their hoods. Was glad to get out of there.
Failed Democrat Presidential Candidate, Washington Governor Jay “climate change” Inslee had a plan to release 1,100 prison inmates due to COVID-19.
His release criteria was those over the age of 50, anyone with an underlying health condition, including pregnancy, and those within 18 months of completing their sentence.
Under his critera, the Green River serial killer Gary Ridgeway, convicted of 49 murders and subsequent confession to 71 murders, would have been eligible for release. Another was Isaac Zamora, convicted in 2008 for shooting deaths of 6 in 2008, including his mother and a Sheriff Deputy.
The liberal Washington State Supreme Court shot ANY release down by voting 5 to 4 against.
His most recent appointment to Supreme Court Justice, an immigrant from Trinidad and an outspoken LBTQI advocate, thinks the law is a “dynamic structure which must adjust to society”.
Man o’ man has NYC gone down hill. I lived in NJ and worked in NYC from ’89 to ’96. It was great for being young and single. It got better (noticeably better) in ’94 when Giuliani became Mayor…America’s Mayor. I’m so glad when I got married we moved to the Sunshine State. The City started going down the tubes under Bloomberg, but its been in free-fall since de Blasio took over. Despite all the good memories, you couldn’t pay to live anywhere in the Tri-State area.
That metro area had issues before any Wuhan Chicom virus:
It will be impossible to hide the consequences of flushing out hardened cons early. It will be obvious well before November. That inconvenient truth needs to be hammered in campaign ads.
