Schadenfreude X 2

Layla Law-Gisiko, president of the City Club of New York, which sued Gov. Kathy Hochul to implement the unpopular toll for motorists driving into Manhattan, said she was left bruised and battered after the Saturday afternoon attack at the 23rd Street station. [More]

So, someone who wants to “make gun control an absolute PRIORITY???!!!” found herself defenseless in a situation she wants to force more people into?

I’m trying to find some sympathy. I know I left it lying around here someplace…

I don’t suppose the French or Tunisians want her back…?

Who Will Guard the Guardians?

Guardian Angels resume NYC subway patrols for first time since 2020 after shocking arson murder [More]

Pinkley’s question comes to mind.

Followed by “With what?”

How worthy of protection are people who vote for their own disarmament and then expect other men, also disarmed by the edicts they demand, to save them?

Cut and Run

What was the first clue that this person is mentally ill? And if someone has proven they can’t be trusted with a knife, what the hell are they doing out?

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before

“Last night in Queens, a memorial for a teen lost to gun violence turned to horror when gunmen opened fire on the crowd, including several young people who are now hospitalized. This cannot be our normal…” [More]

No, it’s not OUR normal, Kathy. But it’s pretty unexpected (oops) for a significant segment of YOUR consituency.

As is blaming it on “gun violence”…

Classy joint sure to attract all the right people, no…?

A Burning Question

Public can’t access fire extinguishers in subway system — and MTA has no plans to change that after horrific murder of woman on F train [More]

What, the one where the useless “Ony Ones” just walked past it while others were askling why aspiring Daniel Penny’s didn’t step forward?

If “Amelia Carter” really is an invented meme (and why wouldn’t we believe “fact-checkers“?) why don’t we know who the “the woman” really was?

New York, New York, It’s a Wonderful Town

Maniac charged in alleged Christmas Eve stabbing of two people at Grand Central Terminal [More]

Grand Central, eh?

It’s becoming a holiday tradition!

No one helped?

Can you blame them?

Did you know therre are people who make their living as a Grand Central Lewdness and Exposure Defense Lawyer?

A Thousand Points of Light Plus One

Guatemalan migrant suspected of setting a sleeping NYC woman subway rider on fire is arrested [More]

“Why did no one stop him?” some may ask…

Fun facts to know and tell…

And what’s with “migrant“…?

UPDATE

Chilling video shows NYC subway migrant ‘killer’ watching as woman he set on fire burns alive and cops walk past [More]

Back the Blue like they back you.

La Misérable

Why would Yoran go easy on a black felony murderer while throwing the book at a defendant she refers to as “the white man”? To ask the question is to answer it. Hopefully, she will soon face justice herself. [More]

At least Javert had self-awareness and decency to drown himsel in the Seine…

And this just in:

Not guilty verdict in Daniel Penny trial [More]

Speaking of Laws Repugnant to the Constitution…

A Bronx bodega worker who allegedly shot an armed robber with a gun he “found” in the store’s bathroom is facing criminal charges — but advocates are calling him a hero. [More]

What kind of real fascists would bring up and pursue charges?

If I were on that jury I’d find him extra not-guilty just for creativity.

Location, Location, Location

Investigators believe, judging from surveillance video and evidence collected from the scene, that the shooter had at least some prior firearms training and experience with guns and the weapon was equipped with a silencer, the official said. [More]

So much for that reform not being hysterically attacked, even though it had no bearing on the outcome. Now all they need is to tie him in with right to life.

At least he appeared to respect the law enough to stay just on the outskirts of Manhattan’s “sensitive area”:

A Public/Private Partnership

Federal prosecutors seek records from company that deployed AI weapons scanner on NYC subway… In October, the city revealed the scanners did not detect any passengers with firearms — but falsely alerted more than 100 times. [More]

Sounds every bit the economic fascism boondogle ShotSpotter has proven to be…

We’re the Only Ones Equipped Enough

Officer Wounded After NYC Shootout Leaves ‘Career Criminal’ Dead … Worthy “had 17 priors including murder,” “was on lifetime parole for firearms possession,” and was just released last last week after being arrested on drug charges and for resisting arrest. [More]

I guess ordinary “law-abiding” New Yorkers kept unarmed by the same sytsem that releases caught predators back among them are lucky there was an “Only One” nearby.

In a statement, Evolv’s board said the termination of CEO Peter George is effective immediately and part of an effort to clean house as the company’s stock value has plunged amid the misconduct revelations and several active investigations scrutinizing the firm’s operations.

That you can’t trust a rope-selling capitalist is news?

What’s in a Name?

When Councilman Erik Bottcher heard about a federal ruling that affirmed that graphic images on cigarette packaging do not violate the constitution, he had an idea. What if he did the same for guns in New York? [More]

And “‘There is not a doubt in my mind that if there was a gun in my home, I would’ve shot myself with that gun,’ he said about his adolescence.”

You guys didn’t have rope, razor blades or household chemicals? This is the guy who wants to determine our rights?

And talk about an aptronym…
