| Subject: LOL, Gun Control Works: Stabbings Up 20% in New York Mon Mar 21, 2016 10:40 pm | |
| If you missed 70s New York, Bill de Blasio and Barack Obama seem to be doing a great job of bringing it back.
New York City has seen a 20 percent increase in stabbings this year compared with last, and police say they don’t understand why it’s happening or what to do about it.
It's the Ferguson Effect. It's one of those warning signs you get as things begin falling apart.
While most of the attacks are part of domestic disputes in homes, random assaults without apparent motives are on the rise. As of March 13, police recorded 809 incidents, up from 673 last year. So far there have been 20 attacks in the subways...
Tabloids reporting a stabbing almost every day in the most populous U.S. city have heightened the police department’s concern about their impact on the public.
Maybe Bloomberg can start campaigning for knife control.
In January, a surveillance camera captured video of a man striding beside a 24-year-old woman on a sidewalk in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood and, without warning, slicing her face twice. In another attack that month, a 71-year-old woman required 30 stitches after a man with a razor opened a four-inch gash on her left cheek as she sat on a subway train in lower Manhattan. On March 10, a man rushed up from behind and slashed a 53-year-old woman’s neck on a residential street in Brooklyn.
Maybe this school to prison pipeline thing the left is constantly yammering about needs another look.
