[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neely was a one man crime wave with a rap sheet longer than the tale of two cities.  His crimes have included multiple instances of where he punched women in the face, including elderly people.  Unfortunately once someone stood up to him it led to his death.  The dude should have never been on the streets in the first place, and should have been in jail or a mental institution.  [/quote]

Yes, but where are the humane mental institutions that will treat and medicate poor and homeless people that suffer from mental illness or addiction? The answer is they don't exist. Until we build, fund, and staff them the Neely's of the world  - 42 arrests, including attempted kidnapping of a 7 year old girl and punching elderly women in the face - will continue to wander the streets and ride the subways. Everyday we ignore them. And occasionally one snaps and pushes someone in front of a subway or stabs a random person and everyone says something must be done and nothing ever is.

This generation of politicians - both democrats and republicans - suck at dealing with real world problems. They are stuck in their ideological bubbles. And in the meantime our cities get progressively worse. Compare crime and quality of life issues from 2013 to now. It's been a bad ten years. And still, nothing meaningful ever gets done. Until we have better leaders with real solutions, more and more people are going to take matters into their own hands.
