NYC Mayor de Blasio Celebrates Record Low Prison Population as Shootings Soar 277%

Mayor Bill de Blasio celebrated New York’s record low prison population even as shootings soared by a whopping 277 per cent compared to the same week last year.

During a news conference, de Blasio employed “doublespeak” worthy of Orwell when he claimed that allowing more criminals out on the street actually makes New Yorkers “safer.”

We now have fewer people in our jails than any time since [World War II], and we are safer and better for it,” he said.

However, the soaring crime rate in New York City suggest otherwise.

Summit report: Compared to last year’s figures, shootings in New York this week are up by a jaw-dropping 277 per cent.

Even before the recent riots, major crime in New York City had soared by 22 per cent thanks to bail reforms that allowed suspects to avoid jail and re-offend.

Last month, it was reported that there had been 38 murders over the last 28 days up until June 14, twice as many as the previous year.

On Monday alone, 18 people were shot in 14 separate incidents. Six NYPD officers were also injured during clashes with protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge on Wednesday.

Recent victims of the crime wave include a 1-year-old shot and killed in Brooklyn on Sunday. Since black lives only matter when they die in confrontations with white police officers, de Blasio must have seen fit to indulge in gallows humor,” writes Dave Blount.

While de Blasio presides over empty prisons and soaring crime having vowed to slash next year’s police budget by $1 billion dollars, he has also assigned no less than 27 cops working in shifts to protect a Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower.

  1. He’s probably one of the new age enlightened Catholics who believe in being evil to make Jesus come back. Telling lies ,robbing from rbe poor, dealing drugs and laundering money ,setting up murders and crimes are all good works for new age man .

    • Stupidity is the most plentiful element on earth, surpassing carbon which, suddenly, is too abundant. I wish I didn’t have to live in this dumbass world.

      • I agree, I’m completely disgusted with the direction this country is going in and I’m even more disgusted with the general stupidity of the majority of the population. I’m just glad that I’ve lived the majority of my life already. And once President Trump leaves office be it Jan. 2021 or Jan. 2025 this once great Republic is finished. Especially if the Democraps have the Presidency and both chambers of congress at some point.

        • Yeah, I’m guessing you and I are both the same general age. I’ll fight with all that I have left, bad knees and all.

          • I’m 62 and will keep fighting even though it may be futile at some point.

          • I just pray that ex-marines and the like who love freedom have a plan of action that patriotic citizens can all be a part of.
