Violence concerns on some NYC city blocks

Ongoing issues on 14th Street were highlighted again this week after a deadly stabbing by an emotionally disturbed man. There are more police in the area, but people living there say more has to be done not only on 14th Street but other blocks in the city. FOX 5 NY's Michelle Ross highlights some of these areas.

Stop blaming the whole “sanctuary” policy because let’s be honest the BIGGER PICTURE here is Homelessness!!! MENTALLY ILL!!!

this is deeply disturbing, mayor Adams has this trend of not taking credit for any mistakes. he seems to always blame all his troubles on Albany. NYC dont need a mayor like that, and those two snobby women sitting around him smirking when talking about people getting attacked in broad daylight. sickening, they should be ashamed.

[@RoughRaiders13]

The best way to deal with the violence in NYC is to move. Those politicians and judges don't care about you. There are plenty of cities in New Jersey only 30 minutes away that look night and day from New York City because it may not be perfect but at least the politicians and judges here in Jersey care more than they do in New York. I'm about a 27 min drive from the cesspool that is Manhattan and there are zero shootings, zero homeless, zero store lootings, etc....... New York could be a safe place to live in 72 hours if anybody actually gave a shit. Instead all they care about is taking more of your money in taxes to line their pockets. They make roughly a million dollars a day on cars crossing the George Washington bridge alone.......... But there are potholes on the roadway of the George Washington bridge...... Think about that for a second. A million dollars a day but you can't fill fucking potholes. That money is definitely going somewhere.
