In their weekend story about the case on their website Fox News ran a picture of Jordan Neely at age 15. (Neely died at 30.)

That’s right, Fox News.

The NY Times was so proud.

Why, he could have been Emmitt Till.

Two observations: Ann writes: “Weird that New Yorkers would feel like city officials are releasing insane people onto the streets and refusing to remove them, even when they commit violent crime, after violent crime.”

First: Could this be deliberate? Will someone, anyone, have the well-developed sense of moral outrage to call out specific city officials for conducting what is CLEARLY a deliberate terror campaign against their own citizens, a campaign designed to cow normal people into passivity and conformity?

Second: Poinzy makes an excellent point, which is that the solution to the current crisis was implemented within living memory, so there is no excuse for inaction except cowardice -- an assumed cowardice that works to facilitate the actual policy. (See observation #1)
