Why do Dems care extra in regards to the Nice Garden than skyrocketing crime in Central Park?

New York’s World Citizen Pageant — a glitzy live performance to boost cash for the poor worldwide — has morphed right into a messy, harmful affair that did $620,000 in injury final yr to Central Park’s jewel, the Nice Garden.

Put aside the evident hypocrisy of a worldwide charity trashing a inexperienced house, yr after yr: Why received’t town get up for itself?

Metropolis Councilwoman Gale Brewer has had sufficient; she needs the disorderly spectacle moved from the Nice Garden to a different location. State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal agrees.

Good. 

The park is town’s yard and ought to be saved in prime situation, and there’s no cause to let some star-studded orgy of self-congratulation carry on tearing up the turf.

However the place is that this tender concern in the case of a vastly greater park drawback — particularly the truth that crime is skyrocketing there?

The park’s seen a 222%  — sure, you learn that proper — improve in robberies over the identical interval in 2023, NYPD knowledge reveals. 

Felony assaults have doubled. 

But in a latest Metropolis Council assembly Brewer recommended that as an answer town give the younger unlawful immigrants enjoying an enormous function within the the crime spike “one thing to do . . . between now and when college begins.”

There’s some informal racism right here: Brewer clearly assumes that migrants revert to criminality the second they aren’t distracted sufficient.

However extra broadly, what on earth is she even speaking about?

Certainly, judged by the lights of that ideology, why is messing up a Central Park garden dangerous sufficient to demand any motion in any respect?

The left expects New Yorkers to tolerate all types of social decay. 

Like random lunatics roaming the subway and assaulting and murdering straphangers as a part of the price of dwelling within the metropolis. 

Gothamites are informed, again and again, that crime will not be an issue and that policing it’s white supremacy.

They’re vilified as racists for daring to counsel too many unlawful immigrants have arrived right here, and to object to their tax {dollars} being spent on their meals and shelter. 

However a bunch of concertgoers ruining a garden in Central Park?

That’s a bridge too far! Time to revive public order!

The selectivity liberal Dems present in selecting and selecting what public chaos to actually get their dander up over about actually does converse volumes.
