I actually used to follow Nicole Gelinas on Twitter until I couldn’t take it anymore. Be sure to check out who she works for."

Sorry Lizzie, Old cartoons and silent era movies had damsel tied to RR tracks only to have Canadian MountieDudley DoRight rescue her. Need Dudleyin subway. Generational gap.

NYPD and MTA reported increase in crime. Pushing folks onto tracks and hoping someone helps you up before train comes. One lunatic did it in front of a cop.

It feels likeno self-defense available in NYC and the flip side likethe Floridian stand-your-ground law which gives you the legal right to shoot someone if you feel threatened. Imagine that in NYC. Daily News has become a daily obituary of shootings, slashings, subway crime.

I never hesitated to go to a night performance, but nervous now. Have the Stokes/Linc Ctr event. Won't attempt the subway."



There is something seriously wrong with you.

No Lizzie, pushing someone onto subway tracks made me wonder who would rescue these victims....ergo, the Dudley Do Rights who pulled fellow subway riders off tracks before being killed. Could've called them good seminarians, but how boring is that?

The damn police weren't there.

So tell me highland guy, what is wrong with fear of rising crime that you make such a dumb accusation??

I guess you never lived in Florida where NRA gun worshippers will shoot anyone who looks at them the wrong way. Treyvon Martin was such a victim and his story inspired the Pass Over play.

One old guy shot a movie goer for using a cell phone during the movie and he got off. Blame the FL republicans that passed that BS law.

Then there is the other extreme. Bronx gangs and thugs routinely shooting anyone, drive by shootings, subway crime. So what does one use as self defense? I don't own or want a gun. You are vulnerable in both states.

I guess you can't distinguish or compare the sense of vulnerability. In Arizona and Texas, they legally walk around with assault rifles. Open carry. It's concealed carry in Fl, so it's handguns there. But if you carry a fishing pole to suggest yr going fishing or hunting, you can open carry a long gun. That is a real FL law. Republicans and NRA love it. Just hope some trigger happy fool doesn't kill you ala Trayvon who just went to convenience store for candy..

I don't trust the gun carriers anymore than the NYC thugs. Sorry if the concept escaped you but you've offered no self-defense solution. Uber is all I could think of.

Try reading something other than BWW. Here's a start. Subway victim near death.

regarding the Times piece, I previously noted that it does not appear that the author has any experience as a subway rider. I could say the same thing about JayElle. I could add that there is no indication that they have any meaningful experience above ground. Poor people begging are not unsafe, nor are they something new. Do you know how many people have been pushed onto the subway tracks? It is less than the number of people who have been hospitalized for breakthrough covid infections. What they have in common is that they are both unfortunate but extremely rare phenomenon. As everyone here who has day to day experience walking around the city and riding its subway have said, these articles do not reflect any reality; they are part of a political agenda. Oh, and where have you been witnessing these "Bronx gangs"? LOL Advice to JayElle: stay away; we don't need or want your kind here.

I have highlighted one of the OP's words. Doesn't mean what you think it means, OP. Thanks for the giggle.
