The Situation: A mass capturing in a subway automobile on the N line that left 19 folks injured in Sundown Park.
One more devastating assault on New Yorkers (“Terror on the N practice,” April 13).
Watching the movies taken in the course of the mayhem, I famous with tears and delight that the victims of this assault who have been in a position to get out of the smoke-filled subway automobiles exited not hysterically working amok, however shortly and in an orderly method. Different passengers stayed behind on the platform giving help and luxury to these wounded.
Speak about New York robust. Kudos and God’s blessings on all of these courageous and gutsy New Yorkers.

As a former New Yorker, I’m deeply saddened and anxious on the latest mass capturing in Brooklyn.
It’s excessive time to prioritize the horrific epidemic of violence in our communities by higher funding and dealing with our police to take away ubiquitous unlawful weapons and harmful criminals from our communities.
We have to hold hardened, lifelong criminals in jail as an alternative of getting them go on the merry-go-round of our “justice” system, which merely emboldens them to proceed breaking the regulation.
I want to lengthen my deepest condolences to the victims and their households. Sufficient is sufficient.

As somebody who lived in New York Metropolis most of my life till my transfer to Florida, all I can say is how disgusted I'm with the entire political class.
My aunt, who lives in Washington Heights and has by no means had a driver’s license, is now afraid to take the subway — one thing she has finished all of her life with no thought. Effectively finished, Democrats.
This won't change till the folks stand up and say “sufficient.” Till then, the slide into hell will solely speed up.

I heard Mayor Adams’ remark about selfless New Yorkers working to one another’s help after the capturing on the subway.
It’s too unhealthy that New York’s elected officers don’t reply in the identical manner.
It’s time for New Yorkers to vote in individuals who will do their jobs and hold town secure.

Gov. Hochul spoke on the location of the subway capturing in Sundown Park, Brooklyn. She went on about how we're all sick and bored with the shootings in New York. Hochul has finished nothing to cease it — simply provided empty phrases.
Hochul additionally talked about the teenager who was murdered a couple of days in the past by one other teenager. This teen had a ghost gun, and now we've one other drawback.
The place is the individual who's going to actually do one thing in regards to the bail drawback for New Yorkers? I feel Hochul ought to be part of the unemployment line alongside along with her predecessor.

I feel — and hope — Hochul did herself in with remarks at Tuesday’s press convention.
In indignant, strident tones, she deplored violence — this assault and each day assaults on New Yorkers — after which mouthed the standard platitudes about how powerful New Yorkers are, how we’ll stand collectively — blah, blah, blah.
What was completely lacking from this fake outrage was any recognition that it's her and the state Legislature’s actions that created this surge in violence and that the feeble adjustments simply handed will do nothing to assist.
Right here’s hoping all can now see the emperor’s lack of garments, and that we bid her and her minions a well-deserved farewell in November.

The coverage of locking the doorways at both finish of the subway automobiles should go.
On some strains, the doorways are nonetheless operable, although it’s in opposition to the principles to cross from automobile to automobile.
Think about the fear of being locked in that automobile with that madman and no manner out. MTA passengers shouldn't be denied egress, particularly now with violent crime being an on a regular basis incidence.
