Maybe if Donald Trump doesn’t win the presidency in 2016, he’ll run for NYC Mayor in 2017.
I’ll bet this stuff would slow down under a Mayor Trump.
He’s got my vote. So do you, Cato!
Being mayor wouldn’t make a dent in Little Donald J. Drumpf’s yuuuge inferiority complex.
I’d rather have you as mayor than the buffoon that’s currently taking up space there
If I were mayor, every bar would be CBGBs and Danceteria, and my lazy artist friends would be subsidized to play there. It would be yuuuge
I take it you haven’t read that the City economy is actually THRIVING under DeBlasio?

somehow it doesn’t surprise me that Trump has PaulRL’s vote.
of course De Blasio and Bratton have done a great job on crime. but that doesn’t stop a certain group from loudly complaining… because he ended the racial profiling form of stop and frisk.
i think maybe these people don’t care about crime, at the end of the day. they just want to have some sort of public expression of racial supremacy. truly sad.
So true, Bruce. It makes me not want to read the comments. The whining about De Blasio and Bratton abandoning stop-and-frisk ignores the facts that it was not helping reduce crime, was costing a fortune in lawsuits, and was banned by the courts. I guess that’s the kind of magical thinking that makes Mayor Trump the Savior Incarnate.
NOT TRUE. Or, not true. Stop, Question and possibly Frisk has now been proved to be effective in NYC. Now that it is gone, we are paying the price.
Jay Jay, you managed to spout something without any proof whatsoever. Can you please explain your point?
Bruce, please stop going silent for these extended periods. We get very concerned, you know.
Why be snarky? Because he’s right? As if violating the civil rights of thousands was such an effective way of keeping crime down?
Crime is definitely on the rise.

Also: https://compstat.nypdonline.org is very informative and just went online a couple of weeks ago
Thx Lucien weepy hand wringing leftists that have never been vics hate being confronted with facts, and seldom are.
So you’re saying conservatives are victims? They certainly act like it!
No, that’s not what I’m saying.
God forbid a Trump mayor (or president)!
to Lucien: the crime statistics are indeed informative, but you should learn to READ them correctly. you were looking at one week, not the year-to-date.
here are the actual stats for 2016 year-to-date compared to the same period last year.
murder: down 30.2% (!)
rape: up 8.5%
robbery: down 1.4%
felony assualt: up 13.9%
burglary: -8.1%
Gr Larceny: up 4.2%
GL Auto: down 4.8%
total serious crime: up 2.5%
Shooting victims: down 11.7%
shooting incidents: down 19.3%
as you can see, crime is basically steady and murder down. it is early in the year, but i expect we will finish up about where we were last year.
the bottom line is that crime of all sorts is at the lowest level in NYC history, has stayed there or overall gotten lower during the MAyor’s term, and is way below where is was during the Giuliani era.

The NYT’s is a liberal rag, so you can’t believe anything in it. Wonder if the thugs were motivated by “trigger warnings” and would have refrained from this behavior if only there had been a “safe space” available.
wow, you’re an angry person. can i hazard a guess that you’re a Trump supporter?
What’s the compstat on slashings? Way down I bet.
No Bruce, I’m not a a Trump supporter and think he’ a clown., but I’m not surprised by your reaction…anyone who doesn’t think like you is either crazy, stupid or a racist, right!
… or angry… you seem to be very very angry… at an awful lot of things. “Safe spaces”?
People should be angry. there are a lot of justifiable reasons to be angry not the least of which are the twin curses that occupy high positions in dc and NYC. Nonetheless,the left as part of the grand scheme has politicized “anger” to make it appear that those who express anger, especially at the status quo as created by those aforementioned, are somehow unstable and or Dangerous.
