Ramon Rivera is why New York is virtually uninhabitable under moonbat rule:

The New York Post reports:

Ramon Rivera, 51, identified by sources as the person of interest in the bloodbath, was released from jail Oct. 17 on a time-served sentence for a spate of recent burglary and assault convictions after spending most of this year behind bars…

Sources revealed Rivera has at least eight past arrests in New York City, a history of mental health issues and years of police run-ins crisscrossing several states.

They tried locking him up in a mental hospital, but evidently that didn’t work out:

In May, Rivera spent several days in Bellevue Hospital’s psych ward, where authorities said he assaulted a corrections officer, the sources said.

What else could they do but unleash him on the public?

The release perplexed Mayor Eric Adams, who said NYPD investigators were looking into how a career criminal with a history of mental illness could walk free, despite his recent convictions.

What is perplexing is how Adams can have no idea what is going on despite being the mayor. Bail reform? Marginalization of the allegedly systemically racist police? Ending “overincarceration”? Ring any bells, Mayor Adams?

A three-strikes law might have saved three lives. But that would require prying pro-criminal Democrats from power.

It isn’t just the belligerently senile Joe Biden, who calls those who vote against his party garbage and snarls through gritted teeth that he wants to smack us in the ass. Profound hostility toward much (possibly most) of the population is pervasive among Democrats. For example, this nasty piece of work is Governor of New York:

Tens of millions of Americans are not American. They are anti-American and will be treated as such if Democrats are allowed to consolidate power.

Being called anti-American by a party grounded in an ideology that regards America as inherently unworthy to exist (as Democrats make explicit with “land acknowledgments”) is almost as ironic as Democrats accusing their opposition of being “divisive.”

In 2008, David Paterson became New York’s Historic First Black Governor. Let’s see what he’s up to nowadays, as the erstwhile Empire State decays into ruin due to moonbattery:

Paterson and his stepson were attacked by a trio of young suspects while walking their dog on the Upper East Side Friday night, his spokesperson and law enforcement sources said.

Paterson, 70, and his wife’s 20-year-old son, Anthony Chester Sliwa, encountered the group of young men, possibly teens, climbing a fire escape on Second Avenue near East 96th Street shortly before 9 p.m., the sources said.

David Paterson is legally blind — not that this would matter to the scum that now owns the streets of New York.

Liberals can rejoice that the allegedly systemically racist police have been marginalized into irrelevance under New York’s system of anarchotyranny.

Paterson suffered a head injury and his stepson a facial wound. Anthony Sliwa is the son of Curtis Sliwa of the Guardian Angels.

This milestone in NYC’s decline was captured on video:

Some of the contributions Eric Adams has made to the ruination of New York City are apparently illegal. He has been indicted by a federal grand jury for as yet unspecified crimes:

Adams now becomes the first mayor in New York City history to be indicted while in office. If he were to resign, he would be replaced by the city’s public advocate, Jumaane Williams, who would then schedule a special election.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire. Williams is such a leftist kook that he wanted to rename Citi Field because global warming.

Getting back to Adams:

Adams will surrender to authorities early next week, sources said.

Details about the exact accusations remained unclear, but they are believed to be connected to allegations of the Turkish government illegally funneling money into his mayoral campaign in exchange for approval of the Turkish Consulate in Manhattan, according to sources.

Rather than step down, Adams proclaims himself to be a victim:

In a pre-recorded video statement released on Wednesday night, Adams chalked it all up to a political witch hunt. He believes he is being unfairly cast out for speaking out against the Biden administration’s disastrous handling of the migrant crisis.

The Biden/Harris regime does deserve most of the blame for the tsunami of unlawful welfare colonists that have descended on NYC like a swarm of locusts, but a share goes to Adams, whose sanctimonious sanctuary city posturing and outlandishly lavish handouts have served as fuel on the flames.

Since polar bear hunting is a sport for cowardly lowlifes, it is important to choose a victim who is not in a position to fight back. White guys are a favorite target in locales that suppress gun rights, but only when the hunting is done in a pack. For solo practitioners of the knockout game, old ladies are preferred:

An 81-year-old woman was viciously sucker punched in New York City. It happened as Geula Levi-Freeman was leaving her building to walk her dog.

She was left with a concussion but fortunately survived.

This is what Democrats are replacing civilization with:

In the unlikely event the culprit is apprehended, he would most likely be charged with a misdemeanor and immediately released to do it again.
