The NYPD released figures on Thursday showing that crime soared in New York City in the month of January.
The data was released on the same day President Biden visited the Big Apple to discuss gun violence in the city with Mayor Eric Adams.
January saw a staggering 38.5% rise in nearly all major crime categories, bringing crime rates in NYC to near pre-pandemic levels.
The city also saw 100 shootings in January, blowing away the last three year’s totals for the first month of the year.
Car thefts also soared, with the number of vehicles stolen in January 2022 being about double that of previous years.
The only possible silver lining was in the number of murders – there were 28 murders in NYC this January, compared to 33 last year.
Mayor Adams definitely has some work to do.

How is the possible? I thought that the new mayor was going to clamp down on this, oh yeah that’s right the voters picked this man to be to wave his magic wand. I guess those plans fell apart when the district attorney of New York county decided that nothing is considered a crime. You get what you vote for in New York and it’s mainly left-wing and socialist candidates.
Mayor Adams said he was the “Biden of Brooklyn.” That explains alot of the brain dead criminal policies.
Real “Silver lining ” !!!!!
We learn from history that we don’t learn from history, it’s mind boggling that we had to deal with democratic leaders the last couple of years and here we vote again for them.
