This is a tragic event reflecting part of a larger crime wave across the United States and in New York especially. Countless victims of violent crime have accumulated under recent Democrat “leadership” and yet the response from them is always the same–blame guns and gun advocates.
Rather than addressing the underlying causes of violent crime, cracking down on repeat offenders, and better equipping our police force to deal with violent offenders, what do these so-called authorities do? They point fingers and shout “defund the police!” And in deep blue states like New York, that leads to more and more tragedies such as this one.
Make no mistake, this is not a political tragedy. These are human beings whose lives were extinguished by a cruel and deranged gunman. But the event itself is also part of a larger pattern of rising violent crime in the nation which is thus far unaddressed by elected (and “elected”) officials.
