The killing of Richard Henderson is a nightmare shared by every New Yorker

The senseless killing of Richard Henderson on a Brooklyn subway train last weekend is a painful sign that the city has a long road ahead in the fight against crime and disorder.

The beloved husband, father and grandfather was trying to play peacemaker in a dim dispute over loud music when a snarling thug on one side of the argument fired at the other side — and hit Henderson instead, fatally.

His killer remains on the loose — and straphangers on edge.

Count it as one more terrible bit of evidence that the city hasn’t turned the corner on crime.

Mayor Adams and the NYPD are trying, but the City Council and Legislature aren’t.

Despite some gains this last year, since 2019 felony assaults are up nearly 35%, shootings 27% and murders 21%.
