New York City is becoming scary

[SlimTrae]

How can you both claim it is 'becoming scary' and then suggest 'it hasn't changed at all'?

uh for me? metaphorically speaking?!

I've written way too much to know if I stated or suggested it is becoming scary, you'd have to quote me then i will acknowledge it. Otherwise I think my posts are consistent with making a claim: not all the videos suggest criminal behavior. I claimed some in the videos appeared to be suffering from mental illnesses.
I then spent several posts backing that up.
I ended it with not so much disagreeing with the discussion between @Master & @NoSavingByTheBell rather making another claim: parole reviews dont change much. I then attempted to make a claim that the bigger issue isn't early parole, rather the inabiulity to rehabilitate people after incarceration- then add on mentally illl who get locked up & let out- I then asked could there be a huge % of sick people treated like criminals? His 1st video is undeniable---- everyone involved seemed mentally unstable. Very!

When I did make a 1st suggestion it dealt with what all news agencies that are now stating- recently-a spike in hate crimes against Asians. I have never seen so many violent acts against Asians.

I can't speak for @NoSavingByTheBell. I just have an opinion on his view(s) his posts, videos and overall thread of New York City is becoming scary.

He's seen crime, sickness, infestation in NY his whole life, but it was in pockets of the city. It (crime) wasn't as casual, with so many not willing to do anything but walk by.

Plus with cellphones recording, one may have not noticed it may have always been bad, because there wasnt instant media until the past 2 decades.
Now everytime we turn on the tv, surf the internet one can raise the claim: things were always fucked up, but not THIS FUCKED UP.

Might not be the answer you want, but it's all I got.

Yes I was asking Brock but no worries, thanks for your thoughts.

If you go looking for it you will find it. I am not suggesting that all it is , is conformation bias, but it certainly half the reason. The cellphone and trashy re-posting of street violence as entertainment has become normalised and doing that again here, just reinforces that idea.

Yeah, I think Slim made some good points as to why it may seem like it's an overall situation in NYC.

The increase in violence against Asians is certainly a real concern, and one we can thank our former "President" for. (Excuse the quote marks. I just can't bring myself to assign that title, even post-term, to ol' Donnie).

But probably most of all... the dual phenomena of social media and cell phones with video capability is likely mostly to blame for the perception that things are worse than ever.

Granted... you'll see a bit of everything in a place like NYC. It's like a smorgasbord of crime.

Why all the virtue signaling, at mentioning people to try and impress everyone with how rough the area you used to live in is? I really do not understand this need to focus on such negative stuff all the time. I see it on facebook and other boxing groups where it ends up getting spammed with street fights, usually of people who could never compete in the square circle or even in a proper bare knuckle contest. Each to their own but Saddo used to be better than this.

Very interesting thread, I love Manhattan one of my favourite restaurants is there 3 Michelin Star Eleven Madison Park.
I personally haven't seen both sides of the coin, so please guys feel free to share your experiences of NYC as I find it interesting.
I'm sure some of you have stories to tell.

[walrus]

Well I find it interesting as it shows us what happens when police don’t do there job and are turned against. I’m not a cop lover but there are bad people out there. We can’t legislate morality. We need something bigger within us. Honestly have not been to nyc since covid but my buddy goes to that famous flea market in Chelsea every weekend to pick up watches. I’m going to go down one Saturday soon check it out. I have talked to a few people who live in NYC and they are telling me they are looking over their shoulder much more often lately. How many cops were killed last year? Do we ever talk about that?

Many of our major cities are spiking in various crimes. Where one type of crime may taper off, another rises.
New York is an example of that.

https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/...ons/113142980/

Gun crimes on the rise in Columbus.
Compare to New York

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/loca...eveal/2924329/


The link itself states:
1. Gun arrests across the five boroughs remain at a record high, according to the latest NYPD crime statistics.
2. While there is an alarming gun violence trend in the city, overall, according to officials, crime is down


I agree with @NoSavingByTheBell position: He didn't make a thread about crime, he made a thread about what he deems to be scary (an opinion)
He validates it by showing how often crazy (expletive) occurs via these videos.

I agree that while guns for example aren't used for committing more crimes than the previous year- they are used for violence,be it domestic, revenge.
unprovoked ass whoopings occurring so often, one can ask: what is happening to my beloved city- that we can witness women cold-cocking men?
Ass butt naked people starting altercations.

Conclusion for me is stats don't provide jack nada nothing as it relates to most of the videos shown. A fight breaks out & is recorded by a phone, but doesn't make the spreadsheet.

Not every person stabbed will report it.
There is a sad reality to watching these videos and reading the justification as if to state- it could be worse. Why?

Something in Columbus Ohio has law makers feeling the need to pass carry conceal for knives & now get this: brass knuckles.

https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/...brass-knuckles

Not sure what statistics can prove the need for brass knuckles. That's the vibe of the people letting us know how scary things have become- when legislature is considered for all things: brass knuckles?
