New York City is becoming scary

It's becoming frequent enough (Asian American attacks) that I'd put out a decoy.... have the area surrounded by undercover cops.... and converge on the perpetrator and beat the ever living shit out of him.

It's the only deterrent worthwhile.

Yep, they're doing something similar to that right now in Flushing, Queens, not with decoys (I'd love to see that operation!) but they are surrounding certain areas with undercover cops.

This is mind-boggling really: (and Im talking about the security guards just sitting back chilling too)

My wife and one of my Asian coworkers do get a little nervous about the news being pushed about the Asian attacks. I’d like to know all the stats though. We can find video of events of all sorts no doubt but if they are using crime reports, which usually lag, I’d like to know the perpetrators race and the motive. I’m not saying things aren’t happeningi but the FBI usually reports these things after a year of looking into them. I got my haircut Saturday and it was a women from the Philippines cutting my hair. She asked me if I knew the whole story as she never hears any follow up. What percentage are Asian v Asian etc. I honestly couldn’t tell her and I don’t think the data will be complied accurately for a while. Damn the big story the last few years was schools trying to keep Asians out as they scored to high against other minorities. Again I’m not saying things aren’t happening I’d just like more info. I guess I’m a little jaded I don’t take much at face value. Crime is certainly on the rise as police are retiring quicker than they can be filled and officers on duty are much less inclined to get involved in things for reasons that are quite apparent. Shit in my job I am protected from being sued, they removed that from cops. And I’m not cop lover but they play an important part in society. We can’t legislate proper behavior. And with moral relativism if everything is OK, nothing is wrong, we are heading down a path I fear, we are being torn apart from every angle. Look where the wokeness movement evolved from. In the 20’s and 30’s in Germany. It’s actually intersting to follow it’s evolution, family and faith were two things that must be eroded for the preliterate to rise up. You can follow it’s evolution from there and part of it included schools no longer teaching but getting into activism. It made its way to NYU especially in sociology. I wish we could go back to judge a man by the content of his character not the color of his skin. But that’s not what’s taught anymore.

I actually took a test for a licensure and one of the question, I’ll need to paraphrase but it was similar, do you treat all clients equal regardless of race, gender, sexual prefence etc. a few years back the correct answer would be yes. That is not the correct answer but to answer it correctly you need to read up on critical race theory (they dropped the theory) kinda sad.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

Like every other US city violent crime started to drop significantly after 1990. Nothing to do with who was running the city or what kind of regime the police were using. Violent crime fell no matter what the political/policing situation was. The reason being .................... lead having been removed from gasoline years earlier. The same thing is true the world over and because various regions of the world stopped putting lead in petrol at various times it's easy to check. Once a generation of kids grow up with reduced lead getting into their brains violent crime has dropped significantly. Bit of a spike the last year or so but probably down to the pandemic and associated stuff.
