Rant #3,306: A New York State of Mind

I remember that as a kid, we used to go into the open fields and find things like coins, horseshoes, and discarded stuff that we thought was interesting, like discarded clothing and cans and bottles of Thunderbird.

In today's world, kids find body parts in open fields.

I am sure you have heard about the case, right here on Long Island, where kids going to school found arms and legs and other body parts right by their school.

Dusattached body parts have been found in other nearby places, and they have supposedly been traced to a love triangle involving people from Yonkers, a man and a woman carved up and thrown around as if you were throwing old gum wrappers out the window of your passing car.

Police have taken into custody four people from the unaptly-named Amityville as suspects--

But they could not jail them and had to release the four because New York's bail laws do not allow for those suspected of perpetrating such a crime to be bail-worthy, fir the lack of a better expression.

Each has a GPS attached to them, and they have been told to stay where they are.

The bail laws in this state are idiotic to begin with, make no sense, and if anyone needed to be incarcerated for their possible crimes, these four fit that profile.

What more can you say about this crime?

It is almost as if the perpetrators wanted to get caught, because the initial body parts were found near a school, basically hiding in plain sight.

And then the police find four imbeciles who they think are prime suspects for cutting this man and woman into pieces, and they can't even hold them in jail, where they belong?

That is what is happening in New York State now, where criminals of every level run rampant here because they know that little will happen to them and they will be out on the street lickety split.

Is it any wonder that some thug being held for some heinous crimes in Arizona, and has a long rap sheet linking him to some heinous crimes in New York, is not being extradited to New York because authorities in Arizona do not trust that he will be handled properly if they sent him back to New York? 

They believe that because New York bail.laws are so lax, that he will be back out on the street right away if he came back east.

Crazy, absolutely crazy.

Serious crime is a daily occurrence in New York City subways, with innocent people being stabbed, pushed onto the tracks, and assaulted each and every day.

The governor here, "Yokel" Hochul, is even dispatching the National Guard to the subway for protection, and has put in place random searches of those using the subway.

And as many people are for it as against it, as those against it say that it is not inly an invasion of privacy, but it could lead to racial profiling, even if the searches are random.

And then we have the "migrant" crisis ... what more can you say about this that hasn't already been said?

Good people are leaving this state in record numbers every year, due to crime and the cost of living, which is impossible to handle here.

I have said this time and time again, and I will say it again: this is not the world I was born into--

And I will also say this again: watch who you vote for, this November and every November.

It won't be Nikki Haley, who bowed out of the race on Tuesday.

Even though I wouldn't have voted for her--nor Biden or Trump either--it would have been interesting to see how many votes she would have usurped from Biden and Trump if she would have remained in the race as an independent.

But now, we will never know, and we are stuck with a choice of an extremely weak president and a former president, a former Queens boy like myself, who is a crybaby and a sore loser.

Me, I might just vote for another former Queens boy--and I will let you figure out who that person just might be.

 It is somebody I fully trust ... unlike the two major party candidates.

Who can it be now?
