Five straight days of attacks in the subway: Welcome to the world progressives knowingly created.

From Sunday night’s knifing in an L station to Thursday morning’s stabbing of an off-duty MTA worker on a Bronx platform, the violence follows the horrific pre-Christmas arson murder of Debrina Kawam and includes Tuesday’s miraculously non-fatal shoving onto tracks in Manhattan.

And the hell-ification of the underground is a predictable consequence of “social justice” policies.

AD
Take Kamel Hawkins, 23 and charged with second-degree assault and attempted murder for allegedly shoving that unsuspecting stranger in front of an incoming 1 train.

No surprise: His long rap sheet includes a 2019 attack on a police officer, plus an assault, harassment and weapons possession charge from October and a 2020 case where the judge released him without bail despite prosecutors asking for remand.

AD
Keep letting violent perps walk free, and the violence grows — but progs insist going easy on criminals matters more than preventing innocent people from being killed or maimed.

This particular quote sums up left wing social policies:
Way back in 2007, Milwaukee District Attorney John Chisholm, one of the first wave of radical “reform” prosecutors, laid it out: “Is there going to be an individual I divert, or I put into a treatment program, who’s going to go out and kill somebody? You bet. Guaranteed. It’s guaranteed to happen. It does not invalidate the overall approach.”

It doesn't matter that public safety is to be compromised in the name of the left wing social policy. All that matters is that the virtue is signaled and the appropriate groups are catered to. In this case, felons.
