NYC rings in New Year with its first murder

A woman in her 40s is the first homicide in the Rotten Apple to start off the New Year. She was stabbed to death in Queens as Eric Adams started his first day Saturday as Mayor and Comrade Bill de Blasio leaves Gracie Mansion to go elsewhere to suck.

The woman has not yet been identified and just prior to 9 a.m. was found lying on the sidewalk in Astoria, Queens. She had been stabbed multiple times and died at Astoria General Hospital.

No witnesses or suspects have been identified in the killing and, like many crimes like this, it may go unsolved.

The murder apparently happened around 9pm near 21st Street and Broadway by the Bel Aire Diner in Astoria, close to where the woman was discovered.

This is the first New York murder of the year in the Big Apple in which 2021 experienced 485 murders, approximately 483 more than happened in Afghanistan in the year prior to the U.S. pulling out until the airport attack which killed 13 servicemen and women. In 2020 there were 468 murders, which was only 4% fewer than last year.

New York City has seen a big rise in violent crime overall, particularly in shootings and killings as part of the national trend to defund the police and bail reform policies that allow scumbags to go free and commit another crime.

But now the city has Eric Adams, 61, a former police captain as mayor and perhaps things will improve. Hopefully, his first day on the job is not a foreshadowing of things to come. However, based on his de Blasio-based Covid policies, it doesn't seem too likely.
