You can not stop crime at the turnstiles, however you can stop it at home where people are raised . That truly is the key to the crime problems in the USA. Some parents refuse to take care of and raise decent human beings. However the media fails to give awareness to this solution.

[@harisingh6230]

Well said. But what do you think all those illegals coming to New York are coming with? You think they are decent humans? They broke our law crossing the border illegally, don't you think they will jump turnstiles too and maybe do more crimes? Your Mayor should be voted out!

[@Weirdos.United.2024]

Exactly 💯 But you have a certain demographic of people in office. Who are giving a certain demographic of people a pass to commit crimes. It may explain why this certain demographic of people keep voting for the democratic party. { Fact. } ✌🏾

The system did not fail Neely. Thevsystem has failed the public. Arrested 44 times and out on thevstreets. Now an honorable is paying the price.

[@Weirdos.United.2024]

Neely was not a victim, he was a victimizer. I'm black and I see people like Neely who get on the NYC subway and targets a certain race of people and they're either white or asian, why..? Because they know that they can get away with it. People like Neely know better than to step to black's, why..? Because people like Neely know 's it will not end well for him. I live in Harlem NYC, I got on the train at 116th street. This guy was on the same train with me, once that train got to 96 street, that's when he decided to act like the usual suspect. Because that's when non black people get on the train. And everything Neely did he did, and he was able to get away with it. He got off the train, got back on to another train just to repeat the same black criminal behavior, why..? Because he knows that he'll be able to get away with it as long as he targets a certain demographic of non blacks. { Fact. }

[@myworld34001]

These people are ridiculous. 44 arrest is a sad example of our justice system. Get these crazies off the streets. And fire the cops that’s milking the clock and not making proper arrest to avoid paper work.

So sick and tired of people using cops as scapegoats. Get a clue. DeBlasio and others have decriminalized everything. Attempted murder gets you a Desk Appearance Ticket. Turning criminals like Eric Garner into heroes and martyrs have taken away any and all respect for police and the law. You need to stop the nonsense comments, buddy.

I’m a New Yorker from the Bronx what that man said stopping the turnstile will stop crime is absolutely 💯 not true people are poor I work I work actully at a good hospital 🏥 and can’t afford food let alone the fair, trying to get to work my story is a bit different, THIEr is wayyy too much pressure, on poor people in a lot of these borrows. And the immagratioin crisis did not help !. I was born and raised here my father was a nurse I tried to get help from public assistance 3 seperate occasions from the time I was 15 and got denied and I actually needed it. And couldn’t get the help I needed. At all what’s so ever. And the PILED IMMAGRANTS ON TOP OF OUR HEADS !, and their getting access to resources that New Yorkers who paid into can’t get. AMAZING! Idk each of these individual cases BUT, having a an atmosphere of immigrants over, natural born citizens DOES NOT HELP !

What he said was the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. There is nothing to stop the criminals from paying to go through the turnstile and then move on to commit his crimes.

[@kennybautista8218]

Criminals are criminals. They dont need to pay they already dont care, what is one more shit in your life of crime. This is where the cops get them, run their name "warrant" easy arrest, and for "clean" record give them ticket have a nice day. If you dont pay your fare you are basically stealing. The system depends on everyone to run, if you avoid the fare it lets other to do the same. Eventually, you end up with the problem that nobody pays, the service provide start to suck and eventually might even collapse because nobody cared

[@QueensNativeNYC]

You believe those phony crime stats??? One thing they love to do is try to convince everyone that crime is not a problem in NYC.. There were over 4,000 slashings in NYC last year, they want to keep that as quite as possible though.. Most people will survive a slashing but it's still a brutal felony assault.. So maybe murder per capita in NYC is not as bad as many other cities but violent crime is still high, don't be fooled.. Not to mention the thousands of minor crimes that never even get reported and just the overall disorder.. Five stores closed down in my neighborhood because shoplifters kept raiding the places over and over.. Anchorage has a tiny population, so it's a moot to compare those crime stats to NYC.. You could take certain neighborhoods in the Bronx and Brooklyn with similar population of Anchorage that would probably have overall crime stats even far worse than Anchorage..

[@myworld34001]

Crime can be stopped. And this video shows how the this been an issue for over decade long. The subways was made for transportation not a safe haven for homeless people. And lazy police and these bs penalties are a big part of it. There should be rules that put in place. No commercial shopping carts, no lying down on the train, no soliciting and begging. And there should be cops patrolling all trains. Cops that’s are bold enough and not lazy. It should also be harsher penalties, time in jail, and maybe ban from services when rules are broken. And we need more mental asylums in NYC.

BUDDHA.. I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying at Nalanda in Pavarika's mango grove. Then Kevatta the householder approached the Blessed One and, on arrival, having bowed down, sat to one side. As he was sitting there he said to the Blessed One: "Lord, this Nalanda is powerful, both prosperous and populous, filled with people who have faith in the Blessed One. It would be good if the Blessed One were to direct a monk to display a miracle of psychic power from his superior human state so that Nalanda would to an even greater extent have faith in the Blessed One." When this was said, the Blessed One said to Kevatta the householder, "Kevatta, I don't teach the monks in this way: 'Come, monks, display a miracle of psychic power to the lay people clad in white.'" A second time... A third time, Kevatta the householder said to the Blessed One: "I won't argue with the Blessed One, but I tell you: Lord, this Nalanda is powerful, both prosperous and populous, filled with people who have faith in the Blessed One. It would be good if the Blessed One were to direct a monk to display a miracle of psychic power from his superior human state so that Nalanda would to an even greater extent have faith in the Blessed One." A third time, the Blessed One said to Kevatta the householder, "Kevatta, I don't teach the monks in this way: 'Come, monks, display a miracle of psychic power to the lay people clad in white.' "Kevatta, there are these three miracles that I have declared, having directly known and realized them for myself. Which three? The miracle of psychic power, the miracle of telepathy, and the miracle of instruction. ........... ................. ................. ..."And what is the miracle of instruction? There is the case where a monk gives instruction in this way: 'Direct your thought in this way, don't direct it in that. Attend to things in this way, don't attend to them in that. Let go of this, enter and remain in that.' This, Kevatta, is called the miracle of instruction. ................ ... "A householder or householder's son, hearing the Dhamma, gains conviction in the Tathagata and reflects: 'Household life is confining, a dusty path. The life gone forth is like the open air. It is not easy living at home to practice the holy life totally perfect, totally pure, like a polished shell. What if I were to shave off my hair and beard, put on the ochre robes, and go forth from the household life into homelessness?' "So after some time he abandons his mass of wealth, large or small; leaves his circle of relatives, large or small; shaves off his hair and beard, puts on the ochre robes, and goes forth from the household life into homelessness. "When he has thus gone forth, he lives restrained by the rules of the monastic code, seeing danger in the slightest faults. Consummate in his virtue, he guards the doors of his senses, is possessed of mindfulness and alertness, and is content.

[@user-uv5vr2yh9l]

"And how is a monk consummate in virtue? Abandoning the taking of life, he abstains from the taking of life. He dwells with his rod laid down, his knife laid down, scrupulous, merciful, compassionate for the welfare of all living beings. This is part of his virtue. "Abandoning the taking of what is not given, he abstains from taking what is not given. He takes only what is given, accepts only what is given, lives not by stealth but by means of a self that has become pure. This, too, is part of his virtue. "Abandoning uncelibacy, he lives a celibate life, aloof, refraining from the sexual act that is the villager's way. This, too, is part of his virtue. "Abandoning false speech, he abstains from false speech. He speaks the truth, holds to the truth, is firm, reliable, no deceiver of the world. This, too, is part of his virtue. "Abandoning divisive speech he abstains from divisive speech. What he has heard here he does not tell there to break those people apart from these people here. What he has heard there he does not tell here to break these people apart from those people there. Thus reconciling those who have broken apart or cementing those who are united, he loves concord, delights in concord, enjoys concord, speaks things that create concord. This, too, is part of his virtue. "Abandoning abusive speech, he abstains from abusive speech. He speaks words that are soothing to the ear, that are affectionate, that go to the heart, that are polite, appealing and pleasing to people at large. This, too, is part of his virtue. "Abandoning idle chatter, he abstains from idle chatter. He speaks in season, speaks what is factual, what is in accordance with the goal, the Dhamma, and the Vinaya. He speaks words worth treasuring, seasonable, reasonable, circumscribed, connected with the goal. This, too, is part of his virtue. "He abstains from damaging seed and plant life. "He eats only once a day, refraining from the evening meal and from food at the wrong time of day. "He abstains from dancing, singing, instrumental music, and from watching shows. "He abstains from wearing garlands and from beautifying himself with scents and cosmetics. "He abstains from high and luxurious beds and seats. "He abstains from accepting gold and money. "He abstains from accepting uncooked grain... raw meat... women and girls... male and female slaves... goats and sheep... fowl and pigs... elephants, cattle, steeds, and mares... fields and property. "He abstains from running messages... from buying and selling... from dealing with false scales, false metals, and false measures... from bribery, deception, and fraud. "He abstains from mutilating, executing, imprisoning, highway robbery, plunder, and violence. "This, too, is part of his virtue. ...................

The rhetoric here is comical in it's self-important tone.. Someone consulted their thesaurus to write this piece of drama. Spin doctors really think that their bullsh!t works.

[@user-od5sh1ck5g]

They don’t do anything for the mentally ill people. They turn a blind eye to the homeless and suffering in the city.

Not a lot of crime eh? All this is old news.

[@JudithKraftowitz]

The subways are safe when the police are not motivated by policing others based on their race but overall protecting and serving all people that use the system.

It's a disgrace. No crime on the subway in Santo Domingo it's not possible Santo Domingo has the most perfect subway metro system you'll ever see in your life. The NY subway is disgusting and Mayor Adams is worried more about black plastic garbage bags on the sidewalk of NY city streets than giving necessary attention to keeping the homeless mentally disturbed animal criminals out of the subway

Jumping a turnstyle doesnt lead to further crime. It shows they cant afford to pay $3

[@robertw.previdi5450]

Stop scaring people. Crime happens everywhere. But in the Subway given 4 million users a day 2500 felonies in a year is not a lot. Yet right-wing media makes it seem awful. They don't tell you that in 1990 there were 17,000 felonies. Should we be careful, yes, but should we freak out, No.

Terrible leadership in NYC

[@diannemarshall4078]

Use to be Police stopped the jumpers and many had wespons. 99 percent indeed. This program should return but NYPD had to many that left for other states like Flordia or fid thier 20 yrs and moved on. Until respect for our officers return crime will continue to rise. If you want to get a permit to carry its almost impossible mainly because the Government wants to take our right to be Armed away I wonder Why,? I will let you figure it out. This Marine thought he was helping instead it got out of hand thier ste know Winners in the Naked City. The only way to win is to punish criminals not to glorify them as if they are the victims. I'm 72byrs old I loved my city or should I say our City not so much anymore. I slways felt safe where ever I traveled there are Beautiful beautiful parks Gardens throughout all the Boroughs it is my opinion that those beautiful spaces will be filled eventually with tents for those we csn know longer support. The Government has a plan and its not for decent Americans its for there take over of the USA. This problem is all over the world Germany London Ireland Italy ect. The NWO wait until AI comes in to full swing and tells you what the truth is and your freedom of speech thought won't matter. These problems are distractions from really whats going on. We are all caught up in technology but not the humanity they made sure if it. Remember Charity begins at home What is a home basically its family but thats also the plan yo break up the family. So many young people come from single family homes its almost impossible to grow financially so the family is stuck and can't move from one place to another and become dependent on the Government. Those who were fortunate to work save and build thier lives pay the price as well with all the taxes the elderly are suffering but sadly it will be the young who pays the price for the catastrophe we hsve just experienced these last 5 yrs. So before you vote put your big pants on and vote as you never did before because this can't continue or we all meet our demise.
