It’s good to focus on the positive…

“It’s good to focus on the positive”

Sorry, I just noticed my wording seemed directed at you...it was intended for the Leftist complaining about roughed up by one of her ‘Social Justice success stories’.

I knew what you meant. When you see enough posts, you know underlying thought.

But you seem to have read the file on me kept by your deep state handlers.

Try to have more independence of thought.

What I was trying to get you to understand is that laws can stop crime. You’re trying to say laws can’t stop crime.

So why do we have laws in the first place?

Years ago on FR I mentioned how in the olden days the cities were made to be safe to walk the streets again. It was pulled almost as soon as I posted.

One of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday was to take the train into NYC for a day at a museum with my wife.

Haven't been there in ten years (since de Blasio took NYC into the abyss).

Your first two sentences are useless.

Laws, not enforced, are also useless.
Assault has always been a crime.
I think the negro committing these specific crimes has been arrested.
All “hate crimes” should be found unconstitutional.

Women are incapable, in the majority, or drawing lines in the sand until it’s too late.
Our society has gone beyond the inflection point.
What’s coming will be very ugly.
You and I can argue about it, but it’s still coming.

Museums, parks, restaurants,
Shops, and theaters of course. A wonderful place.

Part of what I meant by putting teeth in the new legislative action is not only to include mandated sentencing, but to engage the political aspects. In other words, make it a campaign with advertising.

There’s no more powerful effect on behavior than advertising.

So the conclusion is, both legislative and political action should be taken on this.

And we shouldn’t abandon our instincts to protect women just because you don’t like the way they think.

I can’t listen to you as I have been instructed to do more independent thinking.

NYC is lost forever.

When you add political sweetener to the recipe, the laws will be enforced.

But why do you advocate for criminals, and then for surrender?

Why do you have no fight in you?

Are you weak?

Not in NYC or NYS anymore. The people that could afford to leave have left.
That’s people with means and money…likely R voters.

Do you ever wonder why every single white majority country on Earth is being flooded with non whites?
I assure you, it isn’t to make the country stronger or better.
People will wake up too late. Demographics is destiny.

That’s why they’re all going back to their nations of origin.

And it’s why our nation of laws will prevail.

The infiltrators of lower intelligence can only advance their game through deception. They don’t see that deception itself is a mark of low intelligence.

I’m strong. I’ve just lost faith and have become selfish.
I only care for those I already care for.

In reality, it doesn’t matter. I can only control what I can control.
What I think means nothing to a random woman punched in NYC.
If I saw it happen in my real life, I would probably stomp the dude and leave him on the pavement.
I certainly wouldn’t hangout for the cops.
“Paul Kersey” is more likely to begin enforcing laws than the police are.

I walk the streets of New York City pretty much every workday and I would not want to be a woman walking by myself, that's for sure.

I'm 6'3" and well over 200 pounds so I'm likely not to be a target but even I keep my head on a swivel and will not get close to the edge of a subway platform unless a train is sitting there.

The irony of petite women being singled out for this random violence is that they tend to be the most on board with all this woke and DEI nonsense, and vote that way accordingly. They are now unfortunately reaping the whirlwind of decades of Extreme Far Left city leadership.

We have created a monster in our major cities.

Surrender is only a sign of weakness.

When we truly care for those we already care for, we also refuse to surrender our values or our national sovereignty.

Values include fighting crime.

You advocate surrendering to criminals.

Women being punched like this should be both avenged and protected by the government.

When you make a thing political, then you have the police, the prosecutors and the chief executives doing what you want them to do.

The police will start enforcing and the criminals will disappear.
