How ‘Social Justice’ Policies Are Causing Mass Violence And Injustice In New York City

The deterioration of New York City’s subway system shows us what happens when we confuse “social justice” for justice.

Last week, I got off the L at Bedford Avenue to a commotion. It’s not unusual in New York City to disembark the subway to the sounds of a street musician or a scuffle, but this was different, more visceral. These were shouts of real distress.

They came from a homeless man sitting on the lip of the platform, legs hanging tentatively over the edge. He grasped the ledge with one hand and his chest with the other, howling as he leaned toward the tracks to check for the oncoming train. A commuter passing by reached out his hand to help.

“No, don’t touch me!” warned the homeless man, recoiling from touch, leaning further over the edge.

“Hey, don’t do this,” the commuter implored. I took out my phone to dial 911 as people pushed hurriedly toward the exits, busy with their daily lives while the homeless man considered the end of his.

New York City Is Increasingly Dangerous
In 2021, a man deemed the “A-train ripper” went on a 14-hour stabbing spree, killing two and injuring two more. In January, a young woman died after she was pushed onto the tracks at Times Square. Two people were bludgeoned with hammers in separate 2022 attacks, and in March, a man was released by a judge after smearing feces in the face of a commuter.

And then April 12, 2022. Frank James threw two smoke grenades and opened fire on a train full of people entering the 36th Street station in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Twenty-nine people were injured, including 10 from gunfire.

Stabbings, shootings, suicides, attempted rapes in broad daylight — the list goes on and on. It’s clear that social justice policing is making our city less hospitable, allowing people to roam the subway when they are in need of serious mental help.
