The Challenge: Sixty-three repeat offenders answerable for greater than 5,000 subway-related crimes.
It’s virtually unbelievable to suppose that thugs who’ve been arrested over 100 occasions are nonetheless roaming the streets to prey on us (“Snakes on the practice,’’ Sept. 8).
That is because of the no-bail nonsense Gov. Andrew Cuomo instituted. Can we think about what is going to occur if this communist, Zohran Mamdani is elected? An antisemite bigot who needs to defund the police (it doesn’t matter what he now says) is the very last thing our nice metropolis wants.

How insane is it that 63 profession criminals are answerable for over 5,000 crimes in our subway system? Time after time after time, these people are arrested and launched with out bail to prey on hard-working New Yorkers.
The liberal politicians who backed the bail-reform invoice must be pressured to journey the subways with out their bodyguards and get to fulfill these people head to head. I wager after the primary considered one of them will get robbed or assaulted, the narrative will change, and so will the bail legal guidelines.

The legal guidelines permitting repeat offenders to repeatedly be let unfastened are usually not solely insane however harmful to our communities.
Our elected officers are responsible by not making use of common sense options to this drawback. All now we have to do is ensure perpetrators are both incarcerated or get mental-health therapy as an alternative of being put again on the road. I don’t wish to see one other case of a prison with 30 or 40 prior arrests accused of homicide.

I discover it outrageous that 5,000 crimes might have been prevented by merely locking up a mere 63 repeat criminals.
This confirms that the thug-huggers in energy are poisoning not solely our subway system, but additionally communities throughout our metropolis and nation. We have to vote them out of workplace.

New York Metropolis has develop into uncivilized and harmful. If judges and prosecutors proceed to place criminals again on the streets, frontier justice will come up and put an finish to crime and restore peace and security. Why is our tax cash not paying for peace and security?

The Challenge: Ken Giardin’s column on Zohran Mamdani’s imprecise, self-contradictory solutions in interviews.
For months, The Publish has been describing how regressive and far-fetched Zohran Mamdani’s dangerous insurance policies can be if he had been elected mayor (“Don’t take Zoh for a solution,” Ken Girardin, Sept. 9).
With the Metropolis Council, state Legislature and governor additionally all liberal, the outcomes might be catastrophic. Voters, beware: Mamdani solely tells half of it when outlining his plans. New Yorkers can’t say they weren’t warned.
We’d like anybody however Mamdani. Sadly, Curtis Sliwa would face complete resistance, therefore complete gridlock. Andrew Cuomo, baggage and all, would deliver expertise and be the only option to advertise compromise and moderation.

If anybody needs to see phrase salads and rambling from Zohran Mamdani, simply ask him in regards to the government-run grocery shops he advocates for. Since he doesn’t imagine that shoplifters must be punished, how would he take care of a military of individuals stealing from these shops?
How would he cowl the losses? Since he needs to boost the minimal wage to $30 an hour, how lengthy can he function within the purple? Why would meals distributors lengthen him credit score?
Ask him these questions, and also you’ll by no means get a straight reply.
