"I'm not here today to talk to you about numbers" @GovKathyHochul told New Yorkers when she announced a National Guard deployment into the subways. Some relevant numbers: hellgatenyc.com/hochul-nationa…

@ChristRobbins @GovKathyHochul So ridership is down 30%+ from 2019 but the total number of felony crimes are down less than 10%?
@ChristRobbins @TylerAlbertario @GovKathyHochul Aren’t those just the number of arrests? Which actually shows that subway criminals were prosecuted in greater number in 2000 than at present.
@ChristRobbins @TylerAlbertario @GovKathyHochul When your DA is caught reducing everyone’s felonies to misdemeanors it kinda tends to lower the amount of felonies 🤦♂️
@ChristRobbins @GovKathyHochul That’s only part of the picture. They are also there to deter terrorism and other mass casualty events. That’s unrelated to the number of felonies being up or down.
@ChristRobbins @GovKathyHochul It amazes me how many conservative Democrats think that surrendering to fascist lies will actually appease them.
@ChristRobbins @GovKathyHochul “I’m just here to make my Nazi upstate Uncle and his buddies think I’m doing something.”
