When you condone a culture of lawlessness, you get the abysmal failure known as New York City. And it turns out that when you refuse to prosecute criminals and arrest law-abiding citizens, you end up with “brazen heinous attacks on [the] subway system.” This is why New York Governor Kathy Hochul intends to deploy the National Guard to assist in doing bag checks.

It is probably just a coincidence that it is an election year. This likely has nothing to do with any of this.

According to The Post Millennial:

New York Governor Kathy Hochul intends to deploy 1,000 National Guard, state police and MTA officers to search bags of subway riders in the New York City transit system.

Her Wednesday announcement revealed that this plan is intended for "the city's busiest transit stations." She made the announcement on X, talking about the "brazen heinous attacks on our subway system," and said they "would not be tolerated."

This deployment is part of a 5-point plan to address subway safety. She intends to deploy nearly 1,000 law enforcement to "conduct bag checks," she said, and introduced a "leadership team" to assist with these subway safety efforts. This will comprise 750 National Guard as well as 250 additional law enforcement. They will be set up to check bags for "deadly weapons" at "checkpoints."

She proposed a change to New York law to prevent those convicted of violent crimes against passengers from riding the transit system at all. She compared this to a DWI where those convicted of driving while impaired are prevented from driving.

Hochul said that district attorneys need to prosecute repeat offenders and that this needs further coordination between agencies. A new, "early warning system" will need to be put in place, Hochul said, so that decisions on "charging and bail" can be made. MTA police and DAs will be made to work together for "accountability." "I need the judges to uphold their end of the bargain," Hochul said.

Hochul also addressed safety for transit workers and said that more cameras would be installed. This comes after a transit worker was slashed by a rider.

You know, this may or may not be unconstitutional. I am not sure. But, had officials done their job and prosecuted crime, things would have likely not gotten this bad. Now what they plan to do is de facto treat the majority of New Yorkers as criminals rather than the criminals themselves. Subsequently, for New Yorkers to feel like they have the least bit of safety, they must give up their Fourth Amendment rights because officials refuse to do their job.

What else do these people expect when they punish people for protecting themselves or others?

This is how backward progressives are. They absolutely refuse to prosecute actual criminals and subsequently create a culture of lawlessness. And then go and yell at law-abiding citizens and take away their rights all because of the mess that they caused that could have been preventable.

Not only can you not protect yourself from criminals, but it is assumed normal civilians are the problem.

Question: Does anyone know if officials search migrants when they enter the state? Because I highly doubt that.
