        That may be true based on stats which can always be manipulated. But it sure doesn’t feel safer. There was a time when you had no fear riding the subway. Now you are taking your life in your hands just standing on the platform

          NYC used to be much more dangerous. Really goes to show how mislead we can be by emotions that you feel it’s only dangeeous now

            You are not old enough to remember how peaceful and clean the city was during the 16 years of Guiliani and Bloomberg

                “stop and frisk” was horrible. Just the thought of them removing all those illegal guns from the street. And then actually jailing those carrying those illegal guns. It was a horrible time in NYC

              Hey removed the crime rate now is lower than Jules ever got to in his drug addled terms. It’s lower than it was in 2010. It’s higher than De Blasio sure but Covid fucked up the status quo ante.

              Facts don’t care about your fucking feelings. Get the boot outta your mouth

      Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it would be categorised or described differently. A mass shooting is a mass shooting, no matter how often it happens.
