what dreams said:My problem with this latest AOC headline is her use of the word "accosted." I've only read the reports, wasn't there. But according to the reports, someone called her disgusting, maybe a bitch. Since when is that "accosting" someone? Did the guy hit her? Grab her, push her, pull her hair? I thought that's what the word "accost" means. I mean, are there some sticks and stones, or are we only dealing with words here? When did saying something disagreeable and rude become an act of violence?

I quit social media when the violence started this summer. It was turning me into a person I did not want to be -- anxious, depressed, angry. I finally decided I could no longer stomach enriching the technocrats who have become billionaires several times over by turning the American people against each other, by undermining our democracy.0 -

Shootings here are done with stolen guns. So those people doing the shootings are not responsible gun owners.
Your comments are ridiculous sometimes.
Let's hear your "why" on the crime surge. I'm all ears.
Pandemic
+
20.4% unemployment (primarily Black & Latino and lower economic scale)
+
close to 33,000 covid deaths (3-1 Black/Latino : white. How many heads of households or primary caregivers/providers?)
+
Riker's Island and jails releasing violent criminals awaiting trial due to covid spread
+
Summer months with youths aged 16-20 not in school and outside with increased drug/gang activity
+
NYCPD unable to deal with being criticized for being called out on busting heads and choking people to death, with the people and their elected leaders calling for reform, resulting in a "work" slow down and reluctance to make arrests (how many on here work in an organization/department, get criticized or told to do a better job and respond by pouting or slowing down your work effort?)
+
Pent up frustration with a predominately white power structure that limits opportunity for minorities via all kinds of reasons, too much to get into, and the George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery killings
+
a flood of guns from "responsible" gun owners (up 42% in NY State for the month of March 2019 vs. 2020; Up 88% in FL; 135% GA; 90% SC; 127% NC; 82% VA; 98% MD; 80% DE; 31% PA; 20% NJ [what's up with NJ?}, for a total of 993,745 firearms sold in March 2020 that we know about) you know, the Iron Pipeline?

My take on the surge of crime? When the plain clothes unit was disbanded, overnight the shootings went up. Almost instantly. I seriously believe that the cops were told to start "reporting every shooting" so the public would see that defunding the police or disbanding certain departments is bad for civilians.
I can not prove this. It's just a theory. When a shooting happened before and no one was injured, no body, nobody cares, no paperwork. Now it means something.0 -

I don't follow AOC and had never heard of Yoho before this incident, so I checked her Twitter to get a first hand take of her "craziness" as described by some here. Definitely not bad like some have referenced. She even asks media to correct inaccurate reporting, both about her and Yoho. She's definitely outspoken, but I didn't see anything even close to Trump level postings. A lot of assumptions being made in this thread.
It's a hopeless situation...0 -
