Perceive this, Mr. Mayor! New Yorkers reacted harshly Monday to Eric Adams’ claim that they’re merely experiencing “the perception of fear” on the subways, saying they want the mayor to know they avoid riding the rails for a very real reason: to keep themselves safe.
An Upper West Side lawyer said she’s been spending about $500 on Uber rides a month amid the recent spate of shoving incidents that led to the slaying of a woman in the Times Square station on Saturday. “The fear is real,” said the 31-year-old woman, who gave her name as Monica. “When you hear incidents that women are being thrown onto the subway

The people killed are really dead.
It doesn't get any more real than that.

Wasn't Eric Adams supposed to be a moderate Democrat? A less leftwing option than DeBlasio? Sure seems like it's more of the same in The Big Apple. I'll be holding off on my travel plans there indefinitely.

It seems that's the message from all Dem's no matter what the subject. Things missing in the grocery store. "It just looks like they're missing". Prices going higher, "They just seem to be getting higher". Crime out of control. "It just looks that way". They've been protected in their lies by the MSM for so long, they believe they can keep on gaslighting even when everyone knows their lying. They don't even know how to tell the truth or take responsibility. They are like kids who's parents have always stuck up for them no matter how much of a bully they've been. They still think their parents will stick up for them so they can continue lying. Well, I half expect that they are right in that. But it's gotten so bad, the media can't keep holding the bag. No one's listening to them either.

"It was an eventful first day on the job for new New York City Mayor Eric Adams: The former police officer called 911 on an "assault in progress" while at a Brooklyn subway station."

All Democrats are the same. No such thing as a moderate any more. Criminals will continue to have free reign.

I will give Mayor Adams a chance to prove that he misspoke when he made his comment about fear...but I still won't go to New York any time soon. In the article, he acknowledged the need to bring down the amount of crime in the subway. In that context, his comment about dealing with the perception of fear may be an indication that he understands that in order to make New York safe again it will not be enough to crack down on crime, there will also need to be actions which give it the look of being safe.

Looks like New Yorkers got a third term of DeBlowsio after all.

So how do young black New Yorkers deal with the fear they must now be instilling in other New Yorkers these days, Asians or otherwise? Nice work, thugs.

Didn't take long did it. Less than a month and the man has turned into a fraud just like the rest of the democrats. But then again New Yorkers are as dumb as they come. They keep electing democrats and they keep getting screwed over. So what has Eric Adams done to fight crime all of you brain thrusts. Perception, perception, perception. Ad they still don't get it.

Mayor, are you saying that the family members who buried their loved ones misperceived their death?!

Of course, we all know why the previous wave of subway crime subsided in the early 90's. Transit Police Chief William Bratton started arresting turn style jumpers. Seems fairly simple to me.

People perceive that the subway is dangerous because it is. Story after story recounts people (usually women and old people) being beat up, stabbed, or thrown onto the tracks by some "deranged" person of always unidentified race unless the attacker was White (99.999% of the time Black). The same goes for the streets of New York. Even more amazing is if these people are ever caught, they are immediately released by the bleeding heart DA to repeat their criminal actions in the name of equity and equality in justice.

And the reduction of tourism is just perception, right?

Attention New Yorkies. If you ever perceive me there you will be hallucinating.
I have no need of filthy streets or the rude arrogant condescending jerks in the virus traps below them.

Why are they complaining? They elected him. If they wanted a crackdown on crime, they should have elected a Republican.

The beatings are real. The blood is real. The deaths are real. Only Adams and the media think otherwise.

Ordinary Noo Yawkers can ride the subway in complete safety the way Mayor Fop does. They simply need to hire an armed security detail to guard them, or run for mayor and get free armed security the way the mayor does when he rides the subway for his photo ops.
