Suddenly the need for alternative headlines becomes clear:

A New York State of Mind
New York man who saved woman from subway mugging by scaring off would-be robber with warning shot arrested [More]
The only question here is who’s the more execrable tyrant functionary: Richard “We don’t tolerate this kind of conduct in NYC Transit, period” Davies or Jerry “The defendant was on the street with a loaded, unlicensed gun“ Iannece?
The state can’t protect you and will punish you for protecting yourself or others.
Who would consent to be governed by that?
The Ultimate NIMBY
Mayor Eric Adams Warns Again: Illegal Immigration ‘Devastating’ New York City [More]
It’s devastating everywhere you’d rather have them sent, Eric.
You’re as bright about that as you are about “gun safety“:
Keep electing morons, Democrats.

We’re the Only Ones Breaking Bad Enough
An NYPD cop and her boyfriend were arrested Thursday on federal narcotics distribution charges and related conspiracy counts for selling more than a kilo of heroin and nearly a pound of fentanyl to a confidential source working for the FBI. [More]
And up until the time she was arrested, she was legally empowered to arrest you for being armed where the city dictated you could not be.

Dressed for Success?
Jewish NYC Councilwoman Inna Vernikov arrested for carrying gun at pro-Palestinian rally [More]
She’d have been nuts to go without one. Some would say she’d have been nuts to go at all. Because even if you defend yourself from the mob, you can have a bigger mob to contend with — especially in a “blue” city.
She certainly wasn’t very cautious. Might she be trying to establish standing for a challenge?
And how come she rates a permit but most New Yorkers don’t?

NYC man, 32, fatally stabbed by unhinged suspect was do-gooder activist and poet [More]

Payback
A former bodega clerk who was infamously charged with murder after fatally stabbing an attacker in his store last year in what he claimed was self-defense is suing lefty Manhattan District Attorney Alvin and the New York City Police Department for racial discrimination. [More]
Too bad he can’t sue them as individuals. Then again, New Yorkers vote for this crap.

Nah, her attacker wasn’t white, so Democrats can’t use this to inflame…

NYPD Granting Fewer Gun Permits After Supreme Court Ruled It Had To Grant More, Data Shows [More]
Checking the demographics of issued permits would be instructive. Are minorities “underrepresented”? Are there quotas to address that, and do they violate the Supreme Court’s recent affirmative action ruling?
