Adams’ feedback that downplay rising crime within the subways are a typical Democratic response to an issue they helped create and can't resolve whereas clinging to present insurance policies (“Don’t Deny Actuality, Eric,” Editorial, Oct. 19).
During the last 2 ¹/₂ years, Democrats have fostered an setting the place there isn't a longer any respect for regulation enforcement, property or folks.
Pretending that the issue doesn’t exist doesn’t make it go away.

As reported, a 48-year-old man was fatally shoved into an oncoming prepare. That is the ninth subway murder to this point this 12 months. I’m vastly saddened and appalled over all this violence in our subway system.
We want extra police safety for individuals who trip the subway. We additionally want a brand new governor, hopefully Rep. Lee Zeldin, who will likely be robust on crime.
As a 73-year-old senior citizen, I'm extraordinarily nervous concerning the rise in crime each above and beneath floor.

“Separate and unequal” is the lot of far too many supporters of Israel on campus.
Denied the unhindered means to train free speech and consistently harassed and intimidated by pro-Palestinian college students and college, they're combating a lonely — and more and more shedding — battle towards unhinged defamation.
How lengthy will directors permit such hateful silencing campaigns to proceed to roil their campuses?
