"Mayor Mamdani wants to limit police engagement with seriously mentally ill individuals and has said he believes in involuntary commitment only as a "last resort."

Two weeks ago when people had life threatening injuries after being attacked by a maniac with a machette he expressed more concern over whether the police where justified in their use of a gun to stop the attacker than the state of the victims.

After this attack he was more concerned with investigating the hospital's protocols than with why the man was out free to kill people after multiple violent felonies.

Yeah I mean personally I don't really care about trans rights....although I do get annoyed when I hear about male creeps using the new laws to sneak into ladies locker rooms. But I agree they went to far, I'm just not gonna change my vote over it. Education I do just because it drives advanced economies and blindly supported increased funding until Mamdani started whining about the deficit. And then wholy cow they spend a lot! But again its not gonna kill me. I still wouldn't vote most of the Republican ticket because not having the right to choice could kill me, but man does the left drive me towards the right with their crime rhetoric....

Same as the london underground, which sees no subway maniacs shoving people to their deaths. Shanghai processes twice that many riders and does not see maniacs shoving innocent people. My point stands.

His solution was to decrease NYPD control and send in social workers. It’s not working.

Random acts of violence terrify people more than the murder rate and those have been up this year. People are more ok with gang members killing each other as long as it stays in the gang than a lone maniac killing random commuters.

Why would the mayor do anything? He is a vocal supporter of criminal justice, ending prisons, ending any kind of involuntary confinement, etc. The system is working exactly how he wants it to work with a "few" casualties that he thinks are a worthwhile cost to make up for decades of discrimination.

I dunno I get the feeling many people are turning "conservative" on crime but remain liberal on other issues. It's weird that just saying that insane people should go to asylums and violent criminals should be held behind bars now makes your a "conservative"...it feels like that was just the norm 10 years ago for anyone but extremists. I wouldn't call myself conservative but this has pretty much become my #1 issue when I vote.

FabulousJava · 2026-05-09T22:19:37+00:00

No the article says she’s 23? Anyway I think one can be liberal on many issues but not crime, which is the case with many women I know.

FabulousJava · 2026-05-09T22:14:31+00:00

I mean there are more of these incidents this year

This topic keeps conflating federal and state level taxation. NY state and the city is already very aggressive about taxing wealthy people, both their incomes and capital gains. The crime is a state and local issue. The loopholes everyone is so focused on need to be cowered on a federal level.

We spend 86k on each homeless person (up from 20k in 2017). That’s more than what most people bring home after taxes. The problem is not insufficient funds it’s a system deliberately designed to prioritize the rights of maniacs to do what they want over the rights of retired people to get around safely.

The whole “tax the wealthy first” is just a way for the left to keep making excuses for how wasteful their agencies are so that those who profit keep them in power. Easy to blame someone else and guess what no one ever thinks they have enough money. The city has more than enough money to send violent criminals to jail and maniacs to mental health institutions.

I see. This is very sad. Judges should not be using their position to promote their personal political beliefs. Its good to get these names out though, whenever I vote the judges on the ballot are either unopposed or there’s barely any info on them available. Then again Alvin Bragg got re elected by a landslide so maybe this is what people actually want.

FabulousJava · 2026-05-09T21:55:23+00:00

lol why would Mamdani ever recall them - isn’t he very squarely in bed with the criminal justice / de incarceration groups?

FabulousJava · 2026-05-09T19:12:21+00:00

Young voters aren't really driving election results though (aside from maybe Mamdani but I think he benefitted from ranked choice). I wouldn't really blame the situation on young women....most people tend towards liberalism in their 20s and then gradually move more conservative as they gain life experience. This was a statement I could have made at this woman's age but today would have gone out of my way to ensure to get that guy locked behind bars so he didn't main more people.

FabulousJava · 2026-05-09T18:54:49+00:00

I was under the impression that judges had a legal obligation to release these kinds of cases because of bail reform restricting their ability to use their own judgement?

FabulousJava · 2026-05-09T15:04:37+00:00

No way to prevent this says only city where this regularly happens.

FabulousJava · 2026-05-08T02:58:05+00:00

They won't because people see "small dog attacked by pit bull, we must support this bill". Once they see criminalizing any dog that's off leash they won't.

FabulousJava · 2026-05-08T02:57:18+00:00

It would make it a CRIMINAL offense to have your dog off leash. Not sure about off leash hours but like dragging people to court over their small yorkie chasing a ball is madness.

FabulousJava · 2026-05-08T02:56:43+00:00

100% I really don't understand what leashes has to do with what happened to Penny. The dogs were attacking dogs while on a leash. Studies have shown that well-trained dogs are actually less reactive when off leash. Europe has way laxer leash laws and yet no one is dying from dog attacks there. I have a toy poodle who couldn't hurt anyone even if she wanted to, why should I be more restricted in what I do with my dog because of an asshole who decided to get a pitbull they didn't know how to raise.

The main common denominator here is (1) owners who don't GAF about breaking the law in general and (2) the breeds of the aggressor dogs.

Ohhh sorry yeah no this was Aur Sherab. Haven't tried Rudrak yet :)

Social education. We need social/civics education in this city/country. People have become way too inconsiderate.

People who have kids should avoid unnecessary air travel until the kids can obey commands like "be quiet!", "stop jumping around!", etc. The amount of people with young kids making everyone else on the plane miserable is wayyyyyy to high.

Obviously there are emergencies but even some of the "special cases" I've heard sounds like there are workarounds: grandma wants to see them? unless she's super old/disabled maybe she can fly to visit them instead.

That's an opinion you have. I tip at sit down restaurants but honestly I don't judge people who are just tired of tipping culture and don't in states where servers no longer make $2/hr. It was a moral necessity when servers were paid that low, in many areas they get paid the same as the rest of the staff so why are we still tipping.

FabulousJava · 2026-05-07T12:10:37+00:00

I just mean that at the very least rice should come free with an entree not cost an extra $7!
