Look Who Suffers, Carl

More ugly numbers prove it: New York’s criminal-justice “reforms” are slamming the most vulnerable New Yorkers. New NYPD data shows that The Bronx — which is around 83% black and Hispanic, with a 24% poverty rate — notched up 32% of all murders this year through Aug. 7 despite having 18% of overall city population.

As one former NYPD officer told The Post, “New York City is in a decline in its fight against lawbreakers — and The Bronx is leading the charge.” The scores of victims include 11-year-old Kyhara Tay, killed in May in the crossfire of a street gun battle.

But Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronz) still won’t reconsider the reforms.

Most NYC crime victims are black or Hispanic. Yet the left has somehow convinced Heastie & Co. that pro-criminal policies are pro-minority, and Gov. Hochul has her head firmly in the sand.

It looks increasingly like the only hope for the most vulnerable New Yorkers is a November win by Lee Zeldin.
