NY Crime trumps COVID as businesses urged to have customers remove masks in stores

It seems as if everything goes full circle. Now that crime has surged in New York City, the coronavirus isn't such a big threat anymore. Now the NYPD in order to identify suspects, is asking businesses to require customers to remove their super-protective COVID-19 masks when they enter the stores because robberies have become rampant in the Big Apple.

NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey spoke at a press conference last week saying that masks are making it possible for thieves to escape detection on video surveillance, according to local PIX 11.

Well, it's good to know heads have been removed from corresponding nether regions and people are realizing just how ridiculous masks are, and evidently have always been when it comes to coronavirus. All that masks accomplish is to give carte blanche to the bad guys.

"People are coming up to our businesses, sometimes with masks, sometimes masks, hoods and latex gloves, and they’re being allowed, they’re being buzzed in and allowed to enter the store and we have a robbery," Chief Maddrey said.

"We are asking the businesses to make this a condition of entry, that people when they come in, they show their face, they should identify themselves," the department chief continued.

Why no fingerprints?

Man randomly stabbed in Manhattan

Most businesses in the city wouldn't allow masked customers before the pandemic, Maddrey noted, because a lot of them steal stuff and walk right out the door, unabated. In fact, thieves were basically allowed to take up to $950 worth of merchandise without criminal charge. It was socialism at its finest.

"We need our businesses to be proactive and do their due diligence. We need to make sure people are identifying themselves," Maddrey said.

Mayor Eric Adams (D) bragged about how shootings have decreased by 17% last year, and murders fell 11% when compared to 2021. Unmentioned in the bragging was the fact that burglaries, robberies, felonious assaults, grand larceny, anti-Semitic and Asian attacks along with other criminal activity remained high, and thus an increase of such crimes climbed to 22% compared to 2021.

So yeah, there's that.

And something tells me that with the large influx of illegal aliens, crime is not coming down anytime soon.

NY City robbery suspect squished by subway train as he ran from cops

Manhattan -- A New York City subway train robber was killed when he fled police on the Number 2 train near 174th Street on Monday.

The NYPD said the suspect was fleeing police who were chasing him after he robbed a 46-year-old person at violent gunpoint shortly after 6 a.m. 

The young man was one of four suspects who robbed the passenger, After the robbery the four got onto the number 5 train but a 911 call from a subway passenger alerted police and they waited for the suspects at the 180th Street Station.

Police said that all of the suspects were between the ages of 16 and 18 years of age, and I suspect the suspects had no fathers in the home.

Once the train came to a halt, one of the suspects tried to flee the cops by jumping onto another moving train on an adjacent platform, but alas, he did not quite make it and fell in-between two train cars, under the train and was killed instantly.

One of the suspects needed to be tasered before bringing him into custody.

Robbery suspect may sue man who stopped him

Ryan Flores, 30, may not be the smartest guy in the room, but he clearly has the largest set of testicles than most, and more audacity than Antifa has in calling itself Antifa.

Cregg Jerri, 58, a good Samaritan, is credited with stopping a robbery of a Starbucks in July and now he might be sued by the scumquat Flores, who he stopped from a robbery of overpriced coffee purveyors in Fresno.

Flores is facing charges of second-degree robbery and assault with a deadly weapon after trying to rob a barista with a fake handgun and Transformers mask [which didn't fool anyone--they knew he wasn't a real Transformer].

In the process of trying to rob the place, Jerri subdued him and stabbed Flores with his own knife after first clobbering him with a chair from behind. Flores stabbed Jerri in the neck and the two men wrestled over the weapon, which Jerri took away from him. He stabbed Flores about 17 times during the fight.

Flores's mommy, Pamela Chimienti, came to the legal aid of her son saying that Jerri's actions used "excessive force." She told KSEE that her loser son planned to file a lawsuit.

Flores: pondering the robbery

"Excessive force" can be defined as a victim of violence responding to that violence with a greater amount of violence in the heat of the fight in which the victim may believe his/her life is in danger.

We often see "excessive force" used by Israel after Hamas, for example, blows up a children's school bus and the IDF bombs the crap out of a Hamas installation killing more Hamassholes than the children they killed.

Screw "excessive force" That's exactly what you need to stop the initial violence. You don't measure a similar response--you hit them with shock and awe.

Chimienti said, "The guy, in my opinion, went from a Good Samaritan to a vigilante."

No lady--if your son is willing to scare innocent people with a fake gun, and have a knife as a backup plan to stab innocent people, your son deserved whatever he received and you, for going after the Good Samaritan, deserve to see him rot in prison.

But of course, he won't rot there. He'll be out and back on the streets. Hopefully the wounds he received will be a reminder that he shouldn't be robbing people of things that are not his.

And he shouldn't be robbing the person who brought him to justice by using a lawsuit to get his money.

In fact, if Flores goes forward with the suit, maybe Jerri should countersue and see who wins.

Flores said, "I don't like to judge people, [he just likes to rob them] but that's a lot of stab wounds."

Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer, had praised Jerri's actions and called the idea of his being sued "ludicrous." Legal analysts doubt the suit will go anywhere because it's hard to prove "unreasonable malice."
