Stop deflecting  crime, Mr. Mayor — and start pointing fingers

Stop deflecting crime, Mr. Mayor — and start pointing fingers

We get that Mayor Adams wants to accentuate the positive, but his happy talk on crime just isn’t cutting it.

In a radio interview before Sunday’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, for example, he claimed that “isolated incidents” have created an “energy” that “our city is a place of disorder,” which he slammed as “just a lot of BS. The city is resilient.”

Astonishingly, he even insisted “our subways are safe” just days after a man was shot with his own gun after instigating a fight on the A train.

Adams also dusted off his oft-repeated line that New York is “the safest big city in America” — the same day a madman stabbed 19-year-old twins in Brooklyn, one fatally, after they rejected his advances.

On Monday, cops had to take out an active shooter who was chasing a couple down the street, while an enraged LIRR rider slashed another passenger in the face.

Enough “isolated incidents” add up to an actual pattern of real disorder, yet the mayor contends that media coverage creates a mere perception problem, even as he admits that “how people feel is important.”
