  31. ​ @vallee7966  I'm tired of people making excuses for this thug. The media has been harping on the fact that is mother was killed in 2007, as if that's any excuse for his mile-long rap sheet or the fact that he broke a 67 year-old woman's nose or pushed a 60 year-old man onto the tracks. I know plenty of people who lost a parent at a young age, but didn't turn to a life of drugs, vagrancy and thuggery like Neely did. Again, I'm not interested in hearing about his mother. The old mental illness excuse has been getting worn thin by the Left for years now. There are infinitesimal resources available for people like Jordan Neely: our country spends half (HALF!) of its annual budget just on Social Security and health care alone. That's $2 trillion. Nobody in this country is starving (with all the food pantries we have), nobody is dropping dead in the street for lack of access to health care (that's a bogus Leftist lie). From what I can gather, Neely was placed under psychiatric care at some point but fell off the wagon, stopped taking his meds and stopped attending his appointments. You can't help people who won't accept help, and unfortunately bums like Jordan Neely usually only want one type of help and that is cash so they can buy booze or drugs. He did not have a "mental illness problem", he had a substance abuse problem. He alone chose to go down that path. I feel no sympathy for him, nor should I. I only feel disgust towards him that he could've made something of his life but didn't. The rest of us trying to go to work have to deal with them threatening us because 1) our government isn’t caring for them and 2) our government isn’t providing safe mass transit for us. ...you can blame the Police Defunders for that. These people should NOT be allowed to use subway trains as shelters, they should be actually staying in a shelter where they belong. And no, shelters are not always full every night of the year (that's another bogus Leftist myth) but people like Neely refuse to stay in them because they don't want to abide by the "no smoking/no drugs/no alcohol" rules. Otherwise we need to bring back insane asylums and commit these people, even forcibly if necessary. The alternative is leaving them on the street.

  32.  @vallee7966  here's a FACT: Social Security is primarily paid for by a tax on employers. Obviously you've never owned your own business or employed workers, or you would know this. ( "yes I have Sean! You don't know me! I've owned by own business before you liar!" ...no you haven't). The portion you pay out of your paycheck is a drop in the bucket compared to what your employer pays. Keep that in mind snowflake the next time you decide to accuse your employer of being "greedy" and "exploiting" its workers (which I know you Lefties love doing). I can't see the rest of your comment because it appears you deleted it, so let me go back to Neely. You and your fellow Leftists keep parroting that the system failed Neely, he didn't get the help he needed blah blah blah. Here's another fact: after Neely punched a 67 year-old woman last November (the woman suffered a broken nose and a fractured orbital bone, and Leftist media had the nerve to write that "the woman suffered no permanent damage" ) he pleaded guilty to felony assault in exchange for a 15-month alternative-to-incarceration program. He was supposed to stay in a treatment facility and abstain from drugs. He didn't. If he had completed the program, the felony assault would have been reduced to a misdemeanor, but he skipped a compliance court date and left the facility. That led to a warrant being issued for his arrest. The majority of his 42 arrests were NOT for littering or jaywalking as Leftists have tried to claim. From January 2020 to August 2021, he was arrested for public lewdness (he pulled down his pants and exposed himself to a female stranger), misdemeanor assault for hitting a woman in the face, and criminal contempt for violating a restraining order. I don't wanna hear any more excuses for this disgusting human being.

  44.  @miasparks167  as far as your statement that Trump is irrelevant and the question of why bring Trump into the conversation…lol, seriously Mia you should be asking that question of MSNBC since they have been talking and continue to talk about him every. single. day. in the 2+ years since he left office. They talk about Trump even more than they talk about Biden. But I digress… You do bring up a lot of other typical Leftist talking points ( No Sean you’re wrong! I’m not a Leftist! …yeah right Mia, suuuure you’re not) like systemic racism and oppression/suppression and America is such a horrible rathist country blah blah blah. Some facts for you to discredit your bogus narrative: slavery has existed worldwide since time immemorial but America is the only country in the world that has the courage to fight a war to abolish it. A war in which 350,000 white Northeners died by the way Brazil imported 20 times as many slaves as America did, yet I bet you’ve never referred to Brazil as a “thyth-temically rathist” country the way you and your leftist buddies refer to America all the time I’m sure. On white supremacy: whites are not even the richest racial group in America. It’s Asians, followed by Indians who (by the way) have about the same melanin content as blacks. Whites are #3. You wanna know who is the most successful and wealthiest immigrant group in America today? It’s NIGERIANS. Yes, Nigerians are the most successful immigrant group in terms of income and educational attainment. Oh how about you hate hearing this fact Mia. I can feel the rage boiling in you now. You don’t wanna hear this statistic, nooo all you want to hear it’s about how blacks are systematically oppressed and discriminated and kept down by Wall Street and the ugly white man blah blah blah.
