With the crime rate in New York, you'd think the police should be diverting more attention to criminals that are already terrorizing the populace as opposed to the ones a quarter of the world away.

Allowing terrorists free reign is a far worse idea than having cops spot-checking knapsacks in the Subways for explosives.

There are plenty of people who complain about the wide-open borders.

Since when has the ā??populaceā? of NYC been ā??terrorizedā? by crime rates? Thatā??s been over since Mayor Dinkins left office. The crime rate in New York is now the LOWEST of any of the large American cities. This is partially due to the Roe vs. Wade legalization of Abortion in the early 1970ā??s, which reduced the amount of unwanted children that would turn to crime. The departure of Mayor Dinkins and his administration, in 1993, ushered in the better-run admin. of Rudolph Giuliani - and the extra security forces, since 9/11, have also reduced crime.

For the people out there that are wondering about the REAL situation in NYC: there are no jackbooted Nazi-thug cops running wild. We have some serious security, but Iā??ve seen the same things in Europe in recent years ā?? even more so. Military cops with Uzis in the airport in Holland? Yup, but I donā??t remember hearing anything on here about that - or Heathrow, and many other places. The dangers that had to be dealt with in the airports are now relevent in the other systems of transportation - here, and elsewhere.
