NY Suspect Arrested

 Frank Robert James (62), the suspected shooter on a New York subway yesterday, has been arrested in New York City. He will face federal terrorism charges. James has a lengthy criminal history and was very active on social media expressing his hate for the criminal justice system and whites, whom he apparently held responsible for his time spent behind bars. He also had some very complementary material about the Nation of Islam on his social media. Motive is everything in this case, but to really dig into what was going on in this man’s brain, I predict we will largely have to rely on alternative media. 

While giving kudos to the NYPD and the federal agencies who assisted in this case, I find it highly ironic that New York Governor, Kathy Hochul has made indignant statements that this will never happen again in New York.

No? And just how do you plan to stop it, Governor? Keep in mind that the State of New York passed bail reform legislation in 2019 that eliminated cash bail for all but the most serious and violent offenses. The result was predictable. New York City has exploded in violent crime. To be fair, Hochul was not governor when this legislation was passed. She was lt. governor under Andrew Cuomo and took over last year when Cuomo was forced to resign. 

Elimination of cash bail was a Democrat priority, and when they took over the state Senate, they made it a reality in 2019. To make matters worse, New York City was under the leadership then of Bill de Blasio, a radical left-wing, anti-police activist who was a catastrophe as mayor. 

So you can forget all the gains in public safety that were accomplished under Mayor Rudy Giuliani. New York City is now back to its dangerous ways. In particular, Asians/Asian-Americans and Jews take their lives in their hands when they walk the streets or try to take the subway. The long list of assaults over the past couple of years is well documented.

 It is likely that when we go through James’ criminal record (he has lived in multiple states), we will be asking why he was walking the streets in the first place. It is clear that New York State’s justice system is broken. In a city like New York City, you can’t afford the luxury of a broken justice system. 

So you are wrong, Governor. It will happen again, sooner rather than later, and most likely in New York City. Until you start keeping criminals in jail where they belong instead of creating ways to keep them on the streets, this is all you can expect.
