    What a bunch of complete ****ing horseshit. I was in New York last weekend and used the subway and buses at all hours and never felt unsafe. Compare crime statistics between all major cities in the US. Hell compare violent rates between Houston and NYC. ****ing dumbass.

    You may not be that lucky the next time you were in NY city with that attitude. My investor friend a lifelong New Yorker, grew up in Brooklyn, just moved last month. He was a crime victim twice in a span of a couple of months. He’s lucky to be alive. He told me he lived through the 70s crime wave, and he feels unsafe now versus back then. So you can dismiss it all you want but I’d rather listen to a native New Yorker. One more thing, he loves New York and never thought in a million years that he would be out of there.

    Anecdotes can always be used to portray lawlessness and crime. It's a common tactic of fascists.

    Anecdotes of crime will always exist. Therefore you can forever complain that we don't have enough law and order for eternity until the end of time

    Can you point to me we're NYC ranks?

    I lived in NYC for over a year also. Technically in Long Island as that was where my work was but i was in the city very often especially Queens because I have family members there. Never once did I feel remotely afraid.

    Just too many people around. You never feel alone or threatened.

    Though I can see a racist white dude being afraid. Because you could go an entire day without seeing a single white person in many parts of Queens walking around.

    Is your experience anecdotal?

    Yes. Anecdotes are useful in describing trends. Not useful to defend a premise that goes against data. Just useful to place insight on a trend. That would be the proper usage of an anecdote.

    I don’t give a **** about your usual delusional rant. I trust my New Yorker friend, so there you have it. Carry on

    Trusting your friend over crime data is stupid.

    Are you stupid?

    Maybe you’re the stupid one who placed your trust in crime data. When there are under reporting or no reporting when crime happens, your crime data is completely worthless just like the administration of Joey B. The next time when you see a crime being committed, don’t trust your lying eyes but trust your crime data. Lol

    Next time I see a rural meth head I'm going to think everyone in rural America is a meth head.


    Again, your stupid logic implies that forever in human existence we can argue for harsher policing by personally seeing a crime and projecting that as a systemic problem that is rising.

    So you are a stupid person?

    Is there any change in crime reporting mechanisms now compared to 5 years ago?

    So stupid person it is.

    He went through the 70's crime wave huh? Maybe he feels less safe now because instead of being a virile young man in the 1970's he is a doddering, elderly, fox news watching fool, with a cane who would have a harder time defending himself now than he did in the 1970s.
