Subway Murders Skyrocket and Robberies Surge Under Mamdani's Watch

There was a time not too terribly long ago that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani claimed violence is merely a "social construct" that needs to be addressed with social workers instead of police and prison time. But violence and crime are very real issues, and in New York City's subway system, both are skyrocketing under the communist regime.
Here's more (emphasis added):
A maniac repeat-offender pushed an elderly man to his death on Manhattan subway stairs Thursday, cops said — the fourth homicide in or around the subway this year, up from just one a year ago at this time.
Cops brought Rhamell Burke, described as an “emotionally disturbed person,” to Bellevue Hospital’s psych ward at 3:30 p.m. Thursday. He was released an hour later and at 9:30 p.m. allegedly shoved Ross Falzone, a 76-year-old retired teacher, down the stairs of a Chelsea subway station.
Because the attack began above ground, the NYPD will not include the homicide in its transit-crime stats.
Robbery in the transit system has also shot up by 18% so far in 2026 over the same span last year, to 156 from 132, according to NYPD data.
Felony assault is down 6% so far this year, to 209 from 221, but has increased 16% over the same period in 2024 and 60% from seven years ago.
Watch for Mamdani and New York prosecutors to redefine crimes to deflate the number by lying.
