Just look at what is happening in New York City. Crime in the subway system is so bad that Governor Kathy Hochul has decided to call in the National Guard…
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is sending in the state National Guard to New York City to help police curb a surge in crime in the city’s subways.
Announcing a five-point plan on Wednesday, the Democratic governor said she was deploying 750 members of the National Guard to the subways to assist the New York Police Department with bag searches at entrances to busy train stations.
“For people who are thinking about bringing a gun or knife on the subway, at least this creates a deterrent effect. They might be thinking, ‘You know what, it just may just not be worth it because I listened to the mayor and I listened to the governor and they have a lot more people who are going to be checking my bags,'” Hochul said at a news conference in New York City.
Have things gotten so bad that we need to bring in soldiers with guns to keep order on the subways?
Mass transit crime is also a major problem in Philadelphia, and it is being suggested that the National Guard should be deployed there too…
Transit Workers Union Local 234 President Brian Pollitt is demanding accountability from Gov. Josh Shapiro, Mayor Cherelle Parker, and SEPTA officials after a string of violent crimes on and around Philadelphia mass transit over the last few weeks.
In fact, he says he has been calling for National Guard deployment on SEPTA – similar to how New York City has deployed the National Guard on MTA – for four years, according to WKYW.
“I think that governor needs a round of applause because they’re going through the very same thing that we’re going through,” Pollitt said of New York City.
I thought that dealing with crime was what the police were supposed to do.
Unfortunately, police departments in major cities all over the country are now severely underfunded and understaffed.
In Pittsburgh, the situation is so dire that police will no longer respond to calls involving “theft, harassment, criminal mischief, and burglary”…
WPXI Channel 11 out of Pittsburgh reports that police will no longer be responding to calls that are not deemed to be “in-progress emergencies,” meaning theft, harassment, criminal mischief, and burglary alarms will essentially be ignored.
Such calls will Instead be redirected to an answer machine, according to the report which also notes that from 3 am to 7 am, the city’s six police stations will operate without desk officers present.
Only around 20 officers will be available for overnight shifts to cover the entire city, the report further notes, stating that the decision has been taken due to “understaffing.”
Seriously?
So if you own a home in Pittsburgh and someone is robbing you, what are you supposed to do?
We really have reached a point in our societal decline where the wheels are coming off right in front of our eyes.
Our streets are stained with blood from coast to coast, and more violent predators are being allowed in on a continual basis.
Earlier today, I came across an article about the 50 most violent cities in the world.
If you can believe it, 46 of them are actually in the western hemisphere…
To qualify for the list, a city (or metropolitan area) must have at least 300,000 inhabitants.
The calculations are based on the rate of homicides per 100,000 inhabitants.
Of the 50 most violent cities on the 2023 list, 46 were in the Western Hemisphere.
The only exceptions were four cities in South Africa.
I suppose that most of you will not be surprised to learn that Mexico had the most cities on the list…
The country with the most violent cities on the list was our neighbor to the south, Mexico, with 16. In second place was Brazil, with 10 cities, followed by Colombia with eight.
The United States of America was #4 on the list with six cities.
With such extreme violence raging just across our southern border, you would think that our leaders would be doing all that they can to keep us safe.
But instead the Biden administration has been allowing millions upon millions of people to come pouring in.
Our migration crisis is fueling a growth explosion for criminal gangs all over the nation.
We are already experiencing a crime wave of epic proportions, but I am extremely concerned about what will happen if things go a certain way in November.
If they don’t win the election, leaders on the left may decide to make it very clear that it is time for “civil disobedience” on a massive scale.
I have been warning about civil unrest that would completely and utterly tear this country apart for many years, and I believe that we are now right on the brink of seeing that happen.
Many of our major cities have reached a point where they are literally on the verge of being ungovernable, and America is becoming a little bit more lawless with each passing day.
