Letters to the Editor — Sept. 29, 2022

The Problem: A girl who could lose sight in a single eye after being attacked by a stranger on the subway.

The photographs on Wednesday’s entrance web page as nicely on web page 7 have been undoubtedly tear-provoking (“Will nobody assist us?” Sept. 28).

Elizabeth Gomes could lose imaginative and prescient in a single eye due to the insanity that has overtaken our metropolis.

On this sanctuary metropolis and plenty of others beneath Democratic “rule,” it's the respectable, law-abiding residents who want sanctuary from the criminals who flout the legal guidelines and stroll freely amongst us.

Midterm elections are solely weeks away and I urge — no, beg — those that hold voting for the enablers who've allowed this to proceed endlessly to place an finish to their energy over our lives.

Give the Republicans an opportunity to rectify these horrors. Gov. Hochul has finished nothing to enhance our security, no matter her guarantees. Rep. Lee Zeldin has some good intentions in his platform, so give him an opportunity to make good on them.

Let’s begin with New York and possibly others will observe and we are going to retake our streets. And allow us to pray for Elizabeth Gomes and her household.

The hard-to-watch video of a violently berserk homeless man randomly attacking, kicking and pounding a helpless girl a practice station is the newest proof that the soft-on-crime insurance policies of the progressive left are endangering the protection of all New York residents.

It doesn’t matter the place you reside, the colour of your pores and skin or the time of day, we're all susceptible to an assault by somebody with a grudge, legal historical past or extreme mental-health situation who's being emboldened by legal guidelines (supported by radical politicians) to free criminals and punish victims.

That is the damaging path that Gov. Hochul and her ilk are taking New Yorkers down for the foreseeable future, until we are saying we received’t take it anymore and boot them out of workplace on Election Day.

Anthony Scro

Whitestone

That is what we are going to get again and again with rising crime and these inept leaders. This girl did completely nothing and didn't deserve this.

Gomes might be any one in every of us. Take into consideration that while you vote this November. The management of New York doesn't look after us on a regular basis, subway-riding strap-hangers.

James Papadopolous

Astoria

As somebody who commuted to New York Metropolis for 20 years and has household and buddies nonetheless there, I do have some pores and skin within the sport.

The flamboyant-pants mayor must get his priorities straight. It's the sworn responsibility of elected officers to — in the beginning — guarantee the protection and safety of the residents.

Adams can not reside on his rep as a former cop. He's doing a horrible job of defending residents, however he's hitting each nightspot and hangout.

I don’t care if he lives on takeout— shield our residents. Flip our women and men in blue unfastened to do their job.

Lee Fleischman

Stamford, Conn.

Gomes ought to have the ability to sue Hochul, Adams and former Mayor Invoice de Blasio for starters. They've put the residents of New York in hurt’s approach and have finished nothing to make life higher for us relating to crime.

We, the law-abiding residents, reside in worry and may’t even experience the subway. They've forgotten about us. All of them reside protected lives, whereas we are able to’t even get a beat cop on our avenue.

It’s time for our voices to be heard and our lives to not be in danger as criminals run amok.

Dimitri Papadopolous

Washington Heights

One other day of Hochul and Adams at work in opposition to the residents of New York.

Sanctuary metropolis points, out-of-control crime, no penalties for criminals, filth and homelessness — all delivered to law-abiding residents by inept Democratic leaders.

Watch New Yorkers vote all of them again in and proceed complaining about crime. We are able to’t even take the subway.

Criminals largely prey on the aged and ladies. The place is the outrage on girls being focused? Disgrace on all of you.
