NYC Subway Crisis: Guardian Angels Return Amidst Soaring Crime

Sliwa highlights a concerning statistic: murders on the NYC subway are up by 60%. The Guardian Angels, recognizable by their red berets, will conduct wellness checks on the homeless and alert authorities to issues.

Mayor Eric Adams' office counters that they've surged police presence in the subways and reduced crime. However, Sliwa challenges Adams to join him on daily patrols to witness the situation firsthand. He emphasizes that the city needs all the help it can get, urging collaboration instead of dismissing the Guardian Angels' efforts as mere "theatrics."

The debate underscores the complexities of addressing NYC's escalating subway crime, highlighting the tension between official responses and community-led initiatives.
