Introducing the Chaotic World of Subway Madness
Step into a subway car and brace yourself for what can only be described as a rolling lunatic asylum. Brace yourself as I reveal the truth about the subways, which are touted as the “lifeblood of the city.” Brace yourself as the “progressive” crowd howls, the MTA and the NYPD deny any exaggeration, and facts demand attention. It’s high time we take forceful action and relocate the mentally ill to ensure the safety of everyone. If we fail to do so, the underground madhouse will undo the recent increase in ridership and wave goodbye to the city’s fragile recovery.
Oh, how foolish of me! The laws prohibit any such action. I apologize for my oversight. As someone who has ridden the subways for half a century, I can say with certainty that I have never witnessed such a high number of deranged individuals. Be it schizophrenia, dementia, or the effects of drugs, these individuals pose unpredictable threats of violence. Even if you are fortunate enough to have never been pushed onto the tracks, I assure you that the subways are not exempt from this madness.
Allow me to clarify, I possess no medical or academic credentials to make these judgments. However, my eyes serve as my credentials. Take, for example, a recent incident on an uptown F train in Midtown. A tall, lanky white man paced back and forth, mumbling incomprehensibly about a lost hat. His wild arm movements struck fear into fellow passengers, who pretended not to notice. No one acknowledged the potential for assault or worse. Similarly, on an N train I boarded at 49th Street, a young black man lay unconscious, exposing bruised and infected legs. He may very well have been dead. When two police officers entered the car at 57th Street, they merely glanced at him before exiting, indifferent to the desperate need for help. These encounters are becoming alarmingly frequent.
One could argue that the scorching summer weather drives these individuals to the air-conditioned refuge of the subway. However, it is more likely that City Hall quietly abandoned its plan to remove homeless people from trains and stations if they exhibited unsafe behavior or resisted assistance. The shelters, already overflowing due to an influx of migrants, simply lacked the space. The “progressives” who dominate the media narrative absurdly attribute subway vagrancy to the lack of affordable housing. Yet, even if you were to provide free accommodation at the Plaza Hotel’s VIP floor, these individuals would still opt for the subway within an hour.
Now, don’t misunderstand my intentions. I am not gripped by the same fear of the subways that plagued us in the 1970s-1980s, when muggings were a constant threat. My wife, our female friends, and I continue to ride the trains day and night. Despite claims by naysayers that women no longer use the subway, we persevere. However, we can’t help but scrutinize each subway car, scanning for signs of imminent madness. We search for individuals who might send everyone into a state of fear, similar to the tragic cases of Jordan Neely and Devictor Ouedradogo, where passengers were compelled to resort to self-defense. Although transit crime has decreased by 5% this year, according to the NYPD, it remains a staggering 49% higher than just two years ago. The projected number of under 2,500 transit crimes this year provides little consolation when a deranged individual instills paranoia in everyone onboard.
While it is valid to place blame on the mayor, governor, legislators, judges, and DA’s, their options are limited. Imprisoning every subway maniac without a trial is not a viable solution. Unfortunately, criminal justice “experts” and advocates for “social justice” have convinced politicians that placing the profoundly mentally ill outside of hospitals is the more compassionate approach. Regrettably, the 1975 film “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” depicted mental hospitals as chambers of torture, perpetuating a distorted perception. Today, our subway system has become the embodiment of that cuckoo’s nest. Proceed with caution as the doors open, for you never know what awaits you inside.
