As gun violence and murders continued to spike in New York City, Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio declared Wednesday that his city is “safe” and “better” because the number of criminals in jail is at the lowest level since 1946.
Mayor de Blasio made the claim at a signing ceremony for six new police reform bills:
“People said that if we reduced incarceration and ended the era of mass incarceration, we would be endangered. It was the other way around, my friends. We now have fewer people in our jails than any time since World War II and we are safer for it and better for it.”
But, as CNSNews.com has reported, the number of murders, shooting, and burglaries in New York City all jumped in June:
“According to the NYPD, there has been a 130 percent increase in the number of shooting incidents across New York City between June 1 and June 30 compared to the same time last year. The number of people murdered increased 30 percent, and the number of burglaries rose 118 percent. The number of auto thefts rose 51 percent.”

The thugs sure see to feel safe and free to attack people....
Black is White.
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
Let me guess. That mental illness thing??
I’m not going to return to NYC anytime soon [likely NEVER].
Millions of people are moving to New York City
to be beheaded by De Blasio’s crazy daughter and
her terrorist buds.
Right....because people were being thrown in jail for no reason whatsoever.....Did he say this with a straight face ????
The solution to mass incarceration and crime is WORK.
Eliminate welfare.
Even the most menial job gives people purpose and direction. Men especially need it.
You will see the crime rate and prison population drop when we do that.
Mental illness compounded with 4th state TDS.
When Democrat/marxists come to power and implement their lunacy, ordinary people suffer greatly.
The self-delusion is strong with this one. When will he be locked up for common insanity? But then, you’d have to lock up all the morons who voted for him.
I understand why lying politicians say their lies, what I do not understand is how the voters put up with the insults to their intelligence.
By “we”, De Blasio means violent criminals, and those with that ambition.
And they just released one of the scum who attacked the policemen the other day without bail. Time to write off NYC.
“What you mean, We, Kimosabe?”
Baghdad Bill.
Can’t make this stuff up.
Can’t wait for Newsom to release those 18,000 felons so people can feel, and be safer.
What a jerk. Forrest Gump would do a better job.
DeBlasio belongs in Bellevue(the nuthouse).
