The Concern: A neighborhood affiliation that has employed personal safety for Greenwich Village residents.
As a substitute of paying for costly safety to take away harmful drug addicts from their avenue, New Yorkers ought to be taught from Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas and bus the addicts to Gov. Hochul’s mansion in Albany (“Employed weapons,” Sept. 11).
Maybe if Hochul needed to stroll by collapsed druggies and lumps of feces, she’d change into much less liberal and do one thing to maintain drug addicts, the mentally in poor health and violent criminals off our streets.

So now a neighborhood in New York is hiring a non-public safety pressure to assist curtail violence.
Residents have banded collectively and pooled their cash to pay professionals to maintain their neighborhoods protected.
What’s happening? The politicians have to get their metropolis so as. The constituents already pay taxes to have safety — town police pressure.

I can’t let you know how a lot I get pleasure from studying about liberals in Greenwich Village whining about crime and quality-of-life points of their neighborhood.
It’s fantastic. They elect slobs who need to handcuff the police and help idiots who embraced bail reform and by no means met a prison who wasn’t a sufferer of systematic racism — and now they'll’t abdomen the outcomes. Welcome to the true world.

So now folks in Greenwich Village have come collectively and are paying for armed safety.
These liberal morons would pay extremely excessive taxes and exorbitant rents, then go into their very own pockets to rent personal armed safety agency — as an alternative of heading to the poll field to alter what they don’t like by eliminating the progressive idiots ruining their high quality of life.
We already pay taxes for “armed safety”— which is named the police. However some individuals are digging into their pockets to have personal armed safety, which doesn’t actually work anyway.
Personally, I’d prefer to have a police presence and maintain that couple hundred dollars in my pocket to go to a film or eat at a pleasant restaurant. However that’s me. Frequent sense is lifeless proper now.

The folks of Greenwich Village have demonstrated that the definition of a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.
These residing there have employed personal safety so as to really feel protected. I believe hiring personal safety whereas residing in one of the crucial liberal areas of New York says all of it.

Isn’t it wonderful that the very of us who vote for liberal woke politicians and help “defund the police” and bail reform are actually complaining?
The results of their actions are OK so long as it’s not of their neighborhood. Now they should take care of what the remainder of New York Metropolis is experiencing.
It’s unhappy that I can not get pleasure from a as soon as fantastic metropolis due to their actions. They should get up in November and severely have a look at whom they vote for — or endure the implications and cease complaining.

When the rich elites who voted for this district lawyer’s madness rent vigilantes, it’s known as “personal safety.”
The elites get to punish common folks with their horrible politics that they're immune from due to their cash and its ensuing affect.
When the Guardian Angels patrol unarmed, they're known as “vigilantes.” However right here, the elites get armed safety nobody else can get, but they help legal guidelines that deny common folks the choice to have firearm safety. The place is the outrage?
