Violence continued to spiral out of control on Saturday in and around Washington Square Park, where anti-cop graffiti was scrawled on its arch, a man was beaten and robbed of his cellphone, two others knifed in a wild brawl and an elderly cook left bloodied after a vicious morning attack at a neighborhood diner.

The chaos around the Greenwich Village park left at least six injured and a 27-year-old charged with felony assault, as residents and law enforcement alike pleaded for an end to the anarchy.

The perps run this town,” one disgusted NYPD source told The Post in the wake of the latest madness. “It is scary to walk around New York City streets. It has gotten so bad that daylight doesn’t scare the bad guys.”
===========================================================================
This level of chaos in NYC is new to me.
 
Why would it scare you? This is what you want. This is what you voted for. This is tolerance. This is acceptance. This is diversity. This is the type of freedom that best exemplifies America and American values. This is what progressive politics is all about. This is people tearing off the chains of oppression and exercising their right to peaceful protest and free speech. It's exactly what MLK and Ghandi wanted for us all and the youth of today are finally realizing the dream! Rise up with them and celebrate!

I would take the Post's reporting with a large measure of salt. What are rational news outlets reporting?

Not much, as it turns out. Here's a view that seems more rational and measured: The wrong way to police Washington Square Park: How things got so bad (NY Daily News). An opinion written by a 20+ year senior cop, no less.

In fact, the perps run all the cities of this country.

Just read that things have gotten completely out of control in Atlanta, for example. No wonder the mayor is not running for reelection.

The liberal media are acutely embarrassed, so they do their best to suppress such news.

And so-called liberals are so mortified by this orgy of violence that they keep screaming "Racism! Racism!" at any source that has the guts to report the facts.

Most Americans, however, know the brutal truth and are doing their best to keep themselves and their loved ones safe from the entities that are now completely out of control.

Yes...the "rational" media does it's best to turn a blind eye to everything that is happening across the nation. Unfortunately for them, everyone has a cellphone with a camera now, so we all get to see what's going on.
 
I've said it dozens of times and i'll say it again: De Blasio has destroyed NYC.
 
Another thread where a bunch of righties sit around in Bum*****, Flyover, furiously proclaiming that blue areas that carry the country are actually destroyed?

People in Bum****, Flyover grow the food and raise the animals that go on your table every day.

Well, apparently, according to you, NYC is "destroyed", so I doubt they are buying food from anywhere....

Derp.

If only James Madison could see this neighborhood today he would be proud of the country we’ve become!

Is LA “bf flyover” in your opinion?

Oh so true, however the distance from any major city and the daily download from rabid right blogs warps the world view. False claims from the MAGA crowd have an echo chamber out here. Making money providing food- more and more farms are corporate managed- doesn't give anyone special insight into anything in Blue States.

I guess Mexico and Central America are just as 'worthy' in your eyes- they provide a rathe nice percentage of the food on our table everyday- especially during the winter months... ✌️
