Last I checked, City-Journal was NOT part of the Vast Right Wing Consipriacy. Anarchy in New York?
It’s true that New York City wouldn’t be confused for Tegucigalpa or Mogadishu. And its violent crime rate, while soaring, is still much lower than that of Baltimore or St. Louis, for instance. But comparing New York today with the New York of even a few years ago makes clear that the city is undergoing a serious fracturing of civic order—one trending toward further disintegration.
If you make something cheaper you will see more of it, and the powers that be have made crime and lawlessness cheaper. At least for the criminals.
The article follows how a person with an extensive criminal record was released immediately after threatening a stranger with a loaded crossbow.
It is worth your time. Can it be that at least some journalists are waking to the Truth?
All this may not amount to “anarchy,” in a purist’s sense of the word. But it isn’t the New York City that Bill de Blasio inherited, either.
