The Upper West Side has devolved into a Wild West atmosphere where anything goes, terrified crime victims and neighbors begging for more cops told The Post.
Criminals are more emboldened than ever in the ritzy nabe — with robberies soaring over 30% compared to last year — and carjackers so brazen they flashed their guns without concern on consecutive Sundays in broad daylight.
“I have never felt so scared in this neighborhood the way I feel now,” one of the carjacking victims told The Post this week. (Snip) The woman, who wished to remain anonymous for fear for her safety, had just parked her $245,000 2024 Mercedes G Wagon

In my state, if you flash a gun or a knife to commit a crime you are liable to be on the business end of your intended victim’s gun. Sorry about you having to live in NY!

They got what they voted for good and hard.
All these rich, supposedly smart people continuing to vote democrat when their neighborhood and city, not to mention their country is falling apart.
Not smart.

Crooks are getting smarter. Why steal a 10 year old clunker when you have the opportunity for a $245,000 2024 Mercedes G Wagon.

Did this neighborhood vote for Alvin Bragg and support defund the police and sanctuary for illegals? If so, they got what they asked for.

Any resident who chooses to drive a $250K Mercedes in NYC traffic is a fool to start with.

The Upper West Side is Ultra-Leftist Central in N'Yawk City. Just about every rabid commie lives in that neighborhood.
So pardon me - - if I experience a moment of glee at their self-inflicted crime problem. As the old saying goes - - the only good commie - - is a mugged commie.

Can’t really feel sorry for folks that try to deny reality in the voting booth. Go easy on crime, expect more crime. Voting for the Left doesn’t ever make things better. And please don’t move to my home state where we still try to treat criminals like criminals, not pampered misguided youth.

Since all the bad guys already have guns, isn't it time NY wised up and ENCOURAGED qualified people to be armed. Yeah, there would be some blood on the streets but much more would be from the scum buckets.

There's always at least one article on here in the morning that brings a smile to one's face. That expensive Brownstone with a view of Central Park isn't the dream that it used to be, eh? My humble home out here in the woods with the 8-year-old Toyota parked out front is looking better all the time. Mssrs. Smith & Wesson watch it carefully all day.

If New Yorkers think it is bad now, just wait until their government gets tired of feeding and housing all the illegals and turns them out into the streets. May want to start scraping those "Defund The Police" bumper stickers off of your cars.

Same here in North Georgia. Lots of people pack in my county. Wave a gun at somebody and you will regret it.
