Mayor Adams’ administration is gaslighting NYC on violent subway crime

After every violent subway crime, the New York Times tells us not to worry: Subway violence is “perception,” not reality.

The Adams administration has joined the gaslighting, with officials promising us last month that things were getting better; we just didn’t know it yet and had to trust them because we didn’t have the data.

Now we have the stats, and they’re bad.

How “rare” is subway crime? It’s so rare, the Times has to keep reminding us so.

In mid-March, after Gov. Hochul deployed the National Guard underground, the paper reassured us this move was silly — “dramatically violent” incidents are “rare.”

A week earlier, another Times piece, rattling off four recent attacks — stabbing, hammer, slashing, bottle — told us they’re “rare.”
