NYC Mayor Says “Crime Is Down” After Man Pushed Into Speeding Subway Train<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Democrat run cities have been spreading a fallacy – That crime rates have been going down and that their policies have been effective.\u00a0 This fallacy is supported by FBI crime rate data, but what Democrat don’t say is that this data has been incomplete since 2020.<\/p>\n

At the onset of the covid pandemic the FBI started an overhaul of it’s crime data collection system.\u00a0 This change meant that numerous cities across the US were not required to provide full crime stats to the agency for years.\u00a0 New York and LA sharply under-reported crime data<\/a> from 2020 through 2023.\u00a0 In fact, the FBI is only supposed to begin collecting that data in totality from all US cities in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That’s right, this means that crime rates will look like they are exploding in 2025 just as conservatives take power in the federal government, but only because the stats will finally be complete.\u00a0 Crime was actually lower under Donald Trump from 2016-2020, and spiked by 43% under Joe Biden<\/a> from 2020 to 2022.<\/p>\n

Keep this reality in mind when Democrat officials like NYC Mayor Eric Adams or Governor Kathy Hochul claim that crime is going down on their watch.\u00a0 It’s simply not true.\u00a0 Hochul was recently confronted by a reporter on this issue after a string of attacks in New York subways, only to duck the question.<\/p>\n

Multiple violent attacks have occurred on NYC subways since Hochul declared the transit system safe, including a man pushed by an assailant into an oncoming train.<\/p>\n

NYC subway shover is 23-year-old Kamel Hawkins and he\u2019s just been charged with attempted m*rder for shoving a 45-year-old man in front of a train at the 18th Street station today.<\/p>\n

The suspect in that attack has been arrested by police and identified as Kamel Hawkins, a 23-year–old with a history of violent activity. \u00a0After pushing the random stranger onto the train tracks, Hawkins fled the station and was arrested hours later above ground near Columbus Circle.<\/p>\n

Hawkins has a record of aggressive behaviors and past crimes including an assault on a police officer. In 2019, Hawkins was charged with slamming an officer to the ground on Flushing Avenue, leaving him with a back injury.\u00a0 The suspect also has open cases for assault, harassment and weapons possession charges.\u00a0 Reports indicate that he was released without bail in a separate case in 2020 despite prosecutors asking that he be held. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Much like Jordan Neely, a NYC vagrant with an extensive criminal history and a history of mental illness, Kamel Hawkins was set loose upon the unsuspecting New York public even though he was a clear danger. Previous progressive policies of police defunding and lighter sentencing for repeat offenders has led to a wave of violence in leftist cities which Democrats refuse to report accurately. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Mayor Eric Adams was quick to dismiss concerns of rising crime in a press conference on the subway issue, once again repeating the false assertion that crime is falling even though complete data for New York has not been made available.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

To Eric Adams credit, he did defend Daniel Penny after the Jordan Neely incident, stating:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have someone on that subway who was responding, doing what we should have done as a city in a state of having a mental health facility…\u201d\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

However, these individual incidents of crime are not happening in a vacuum and Mayor Adams knows this.\u00a0 He also likely knows that New York has been under-reporting their crime stats for years and that Democrat policies are to blame for the continuing revolving door that allows repeat offenders back onto the streets over and over again.\u00a0 This is not ransom or “perceived” crime, it is a pattern that Democrats play a large part in perpetuating. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
