The threat-laced ramblings of alleged subway shooter Frank James, now in custody, have a disturbingly familiar ring, don’t they? Sure, they’re on YouTube — but bitter mumblings of the same sort are heard all day, every day in New York’s increasingly untenable subway system.So the question of the moment is this: How long will the city accommodate — indeed, encourage — aggressive mental illness in its public spaces? Will it ever push back?How many shootings, how many slashings, how many fatal shovings and — disgustingly — how many demented excrement smearings will it take before the penny drops?

Dem pols have no compassion for the mentally ill nor those who are harmed in their path as evidenced by cities destroyed under dem leadership.. Entire cities are being destroyed by the lack of compassion of dem pols who just don't care about people. Those who cherish The Golden Rule would not behave with such disrespect toward others. America's Founder's would be astonished and dismayed at the sad state of American cities in 2022!

Not just the mentally ill; the spiritually ill as well. How many people who do not seem to know right from wrong are in positions of trust in our country?

#6, I believe you put your finger on the root problem. Far too many in this country are morally and spiritually bankrupt. John Adams said it best and we are proving him right. “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
The inmates are running the asylum and in their unbridled humanistic zeal democrats don’t even realize they have made this country a laughingstock. We are so far from what we had been and the world sees it. We have lost all respect from Americans and the entire world. It is devastating to witness our descent into godless wokeism. The path we are on is unsustainable. My prayer is that like the phoenix we can rise from the ashes with the right leadership. God help us. The illegitimate Biden administration has upset the entire world.

Nothing will happen to this bLACK Supremacist. The bleeding hearts will say he's insane cuz his mother combed his 'doo' funny and made him watch Leave It To Beaver and Father Knows Best, the latter being particularly disturbing to the poor boy , as his mother chose poorly and he didn't have one.

Nothing wrong with NYC that a little more federal funding won’t make worse....

In reply to No. 4; The closing of the State hospitals was the result of the ACLU suing for the government to get these helpless people out of the poorly run State Hospitals by saying they needed to be free to roam around the streets because they had and have no where else to go.
Thank the ACLU for all of these people being out on the streets because they are incapable of taking care of themselves.
Just my opinion, but I hope it really isn't.!!!

It wasn’t mental illness. It was black racism against whites and Asians. We see it every day and the enemedia does everything possible to cover it up. Before this demon was apprehended CNN referred to him as “this gentleman”.

You can thank Clinton for this mess. He decided that the people mentally ill were being held in facilities against their rights. So he opened the doors and allowed them to live on the streets. They had no where to go and no mental health care.

Crazy James dropped a dime on himself, and the Mayor took credit for 'catching' James.
(The term 'dropped a dime' is an expression from circa 1940s, where a tipster uses a pay phone to call the police.) For you youngsters who have no idea what a pay phone is, it has a money slot on top, accepting nickels, dimes, and quarters. You insert a coin to use it. And I'm so old I remember when a pay phone for local calls required just a nickel.
Crazy James called the police on himself and Mayor Adams took a bow, claiming to have caught him.

You can't make this idiocy up: the dems created and managed slavery early on. Now they continue to manage all major black cities which are just a form of slavery with a violent twist.

#17, the youth of today also don't know how to use a rotary dial phone. If it doesn't have a touchpad and emojis they're lost.

Fraud Joe Biden is on the job like Jack Webb at a cop convention. Biden's answer, 'ghost guns' that's right guns without serial numbers. Blacks on computers buying software to make three-dimensional ghost guns and the talent to do it. We know since 2020 BLM and Antifa were given a path to bring mayhem to the streets of cities. Blacks have carte blance to commit crimes without consequences, so NYC doesn't need to wonder what is happening. It's a certain race of people terrorizing American cities at will and it's no surprise. Thank state and city politicians that you keep voting for. FNYC

Number 12 - You're right, it was the ACLU that "free the mentally sick" to the streets. One of many stupid moves made by the ACLU. Like all liberal groups always unintended consequences. Liberal behavior to fix things has destroyed many countries, societies, and groups in the history of the planet. Darn liberals are so stupid and they want to run things. And the useful idiots vote for the idiots.

Those of us who have made frequent business trips to NYC city but chose to live outside the walls of that zoo can inform you that it has always been run and populated by the mentally ill.

It's hard to believe that blacks can build ghost guns when they think the way to hold one is sideways so the hot brass goes straight up in the air and lands in their do-rag. Frank's gun was purchased at a shop in Ohio.

The question is how long will the city accommodate the mental illness that has become public discourse. I'd say until NYC looks more like Chicago. A few more hours. Maybe only minutes.

I live in Florida. New York wants me to leave a well run state and go to the loony bin of New York, just so I can say "gay". How absolutely idiotic is their thinking? Never have I had the inkling to visit NY city, and even with a gun to my head, I would say "go ahead and pull the trigger".
If this is the muck and mire the citizens of NY want to live in, then let them remain in their corruption. No one else can fix this crazy for them.
