Protesters gather at Congressional hearing on NYC crime

On Monday, a congressional field hearing on crime in New York City attracted a large crowd of protesters both inside and outside the federal courthouse. Some protesters called the hearing a Republican stunt to protect former President Donald Trump and perjure Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, while others protested what they call Bragg's soft-on-crime and pro-criminal policies.

One violent protester was removed for yelling…. That made me laugh … meanwhile burning and looting continue

[edzzz]

This and many more reason is why I left the Democrat party

[dannybx]

I stand with all of the law abiding citizens and all of the victims of crime in all of the 5 boroughs of NYC.

It's time to take our city and state back.

As a born and bred Manhattanite I say this is beautiful. If the people get any angrier that'll revolt and clean up the city themselves. As a matter of fact once the peoples militia starts rolling the criminals, buffoons and the idle hands just roaming the streets getting high and begging will leave the city on their own accord or in a pine box. We'll give them a choice, thats the least we could do.

Chicago is going to hell right now
We need help asap

[rikellis]

Oh no, the crime ISN'T going down, those are the statistics of the crimes not prosecuted, another words, crimes not making it to the law clerks office to register as a result of an arrest, huge difference! Remember, Lightfoot changing the status of crimes in Chicago?
