The release of an unknown substance on a New York metro platform at Union Square caused a panic among the crowd on Friday and induced many to coughing fits and vomiting.
Authorities later confirmed the substance to have been pepper spray and said they had received reports of someone spraying it into the crowd, according to the U.S. sun.
The city announced in late September that it would install cameras in all 6,400 subway cars. New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul took a cavalier attitude toward concerns the cameras would infringe on individual privacy.
“You think Big Brother’s watching you on the subways? You’re absolutely right,” she said. “If you’re concerned about this, the best answer is don’t commit any crimes on the subway.”
Crime on the New York subway has emerged as growing concern for residents and tourists alike. Multiple shootings earlier this year have prompted the city government to mull imposing gun checks on the subway as well, though cost and manpower concerns remain prohibitive.
Hochul faces a general election in November against Republican rival Lee Zeldin, whom recent polls have shown to be within striking distance as crime concerns resonate with voters.
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
