New York City is Back! Yes, the Death Wish City of Charles Bronson

New York is back!

No, I don't mean Rudy Giuliani's revived New York City. I mean the nightmarish New York City of Dinkins, Beame and Lindsay.

I mean the Death Wish and Warriors city.

And now Bill de Blasio's New York City before it's passed on to some even more nightmarishly incompetent and corrupt leftist whose only agenda is identity politics.

New York City is back, baby.

Start spreading the news. These vagabond bullets. Are yearning to stray. I'm leaving today. I don't want to be a part of it. New York, New York.

Here's what I wrote back in 2013 when Bill de Blasio first took over. The Village Voice (PBUH) among other lefties ridiculed the post. Decide for yourself.

Do you miss the old New York City? Remember when subway trains were covered in graffiti, a news hour began with six shootings and everyone who lived in the city had been mugged at least once...

The muggers are coming back. The squeegee men are coming back. The crazy people randomly stabbing you on the subway, the gangs shooting each other over turf, the race rioters marching through neighborhoods and shouting, "Whose streets, our streets"-- they're all coming back...

No more fascist cops hassling "innocent" people. Bill de Blasio won't put up with any of that. De Blasio will put the cops in their place, inside a Dunkin Donuts and away from people. They'll still get paid. They're in a union. They just won't lift a finger to help you because they'll have more special monitors and civilian complaint review boards on their necks than they can handle.

And next time one of the innocent victims of Stop and Frisk is pounding your face into the sidewalk with one hand while digging through your pockets with the other, wave to the pair of beat cops sitting in the window of the coffee shop. \

Giuliani New York and Bloomberg New York were booming cities. De Blasio New York is a place where the mayor gives constant press conferences about gang violence and announces new rape prevention programs. Every news story about the city now begins with, "Four people were shot in New York over the weekend" and "A fire swept out of control through Brooklyn destroying four city blocks. Police suspect arson."

It's back.

Kersey the vigilante is no longer possible. Surveillance camera’s everywhere. Cell phone camera’s everywhere. The population of the city in lockstep with the leftist criminals demanding the police be defunded and the criminals set free. In fact, the population attacking the police attempting to arrest criminals.
Kersey can only operate in an environment where the population demands justice. The Liberal cities are demanding anything but.

'Everybody is in shock':

Why?

Have they not been watching what happens when dems go soft on crime?

Unfortunately, there are no more Charles Bronsons...

He was around when the American male testosterone levels were still respectable...

I’m a NY’er, and in terms of cycles, I calculate we are at the end of Lindsay’s term, and just entering Abe Beame’s.

That means the serious threat of bankruptcy is still to come, and after that - just watch the decline of city services, and break-down of law and order.
