SICK: Friends Say Leftist Activist Ryan Thoresen Carson Would Sympathize with ‘Emotionally Disturbed’ Teenager Who Fatally Stabbed Him to Death, Seeing Him as a ‘Victim of a Broken System’​

The video, obtained by the New York Post on Tuesday, shows Ryan Carson and his girlfriend sitting on a bus stop bench when they are approached by a stranger in a dark hoodie.

The stranger begins kicking scooters parked nearby for no apparent reason, then turns to Carson and asks “What the f–k are you looking at?”

Carson tries to calm the stranger down, but the man pulls out a knife and chases after him. Carson’s girlfriend can be heard frantically yelling as her boyfriend tumbles over the bench and collapses to the ground, The Post reported.

The attacker then stabs Carson multiple times in the chest, leaving him mortally wounded. He then walks away, but returns a few moments later to spit on Carson’s girlfriend and kick his body.

The video ends with Carson’s girlfriend kneeling over his body, gently moving his arm

Claudia Morales watched as Brian Dowling “randomly” stabbed her lefty activist boyfriend, Ryan Carson, to death in the neo-hipster, ghetto-riffic Brooklyn neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Carson left a legacy of Marxist hate on social media, even celebrating the death of Rush Limbaugh. His moll, Morales, has been photographed wearing an “ACAB” t-shirt (ACAB is an anagram for All Cops Are B**tards).

Though Morales didn’t run, scream, or call the police as her boyfriend was getting filleted, a group of his friends was quick to set up a GoFundMe page to procure funds for… themselves.

According to the internet tip-cup page, Ryan’s friends are asking people to donate $20,000 so Morales and other friends can take time off to grieve. As of this writing, they’ve wrangled $71,330.

The ghoulish online panhandling page reads:

Hi everyone.
We are a collective of Ryan’s close friends, reeling from a brutal loss. We are asking for your help on behalf of his partner in easing the burden and stress of this horrifying situation so that we can have space and time to grieve, and remember Ryan. Immediate needs are to offset the costs of working class people taking time off of work to properly mourn.
If you Google ‘Ryan Carson’, you’ll hear (and now see) about the tragedy that struck on early Monday morning. But if you look past the breaking news, you’ll see news on his legislative victories, you’ll probably find his social media accounts filled with thoughts and memories, and you’ll find collections of his artistic works to date. We hope you may find his thoughts on mutual aid, his works of advocacy, and understand that his radical principles of community care, justice, and dismantling an individualized profit-centered way of life are worth carrying forward in our own communities.
It is this time of remembrance and healing that will allow for reflection; we thank you in advance for any material support you can provide.
In pain and gratitude,
Ryan’s Friends

Leftist New Yorkers are learning the hard way that their pro-crime policies reap ruin​

By Olivia Murray


Keldy Ortiz is a writer based somewhere in New York, “who focuses on issues of race, community affairs and social justice” and in an opinion piece published yesterday by CNN, Ortiz lamented the closure of big box stores (due to shoplifting) in urban centers; as Ortiz noted, minorities suffer the most. Ortiz acknowledges that the spike in retail theft is a serious issue, and writes:

Whatever the cause and whatever the scope of the problem, something has to be done to address retail losses caused by crime.
But there must be a better solution than pulling up stakes and fleeing communities in need.

And… then Ortiz showed me exactly why I’m right to question whether or not leftist voters have much to offer in the way of political solutions (they don’t), and validated my rather biased assumptions of the average modern Democrat:

One thing they could do is focus their efforts on organized crime gangs that fence stolen merchandise online.

Eureka! Why didn’t we conservatives think of that? Instead of restoring the Western sense of law and order and returning to a society where shoplifting and retail theft is criminalized and penalized, the solution to the crime epidemic lies in the hands of the private businesses! But not totally, they don’t really have a right to seriously defend their property and neutralize thieves, they can simply “focus their efforts on organized crime gangs” that resell the stolen goods.

Is he proposing that the little bodegas that closed up shop hire private investigators and forensics analysts? Does he think the corporate executives are willing to invest in a system to track down the criminals who will be immediately released and let off the hook by pro-crime DAs ? I mean seriously, what does his suggestion even mean?

Adams’ chief fundraiser raided by FBI over alleged kickback scheme involving Turkish government​

The home of a top fundraiser for New York City Mayor Eric Adams was raided by the feds early Thursday morning as part of an investigation over an alleged kickback scheme involving the Turkish government and a Brooklyn construction company.

Federal agents burst into the Brooklyn home of Brianna Suggs, a campaign consultant and lobbyist — just as Adams abruptly bailed on a slate of White House immigration meetings to fly back to the Big Apple almost as soon as he had landed in Washington DC, The Post confirmed.

The raid was connected to a broader public corruption probe by the feds looking into whether money was illegally funneled to Adams’ 2021 mayoral campaign via a Williamsburg-based construction company – and was purposely conducted while the mayor was out of town, law enforcement sources said.

Investigators specifically sought evidence of whether Adams’ campaign conspired with the Turkish government and the construction company to move foreign cash into his campaign accounts by using straw donors, the sources said.

Adams shouldn't have complained about Biden.

‘Out of Room’: New York City Is Literally Paying For Migrants To Leave, But Many Refuse To Go​

• Migrants who are being turned away from New York City shelters are being given the option to leave at the city’s expense, but dozens told the Daily Caller News Foundation they do not intend to leave.
• The city recently established a reticketing center for migrants where they can get free, one-way plane tickets to another location.
• “I already started my asylum process. Besides, as a gay, I don’t want to continue suffering. The life of a gay and immigrant is not easy,” Susej, a Venezuelan migrant, told the DCNF.

New York City is trying to expel migrants by offering them plane tickets to leave for other states, or places outside of the country, but many of them don’t want to leave, according to dozens of migrants the Daily Caller News Foundation interviewed.

Migrants entering the reticketing center, which the city recently established to help migrants leave the area, told the DCNF that they don’t want to go elsewhere because they came to New York City for the resources it provides as a sanctuary city. The reticketing center is located in the since-closed St. Brigid School in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where migrants can get a free, one-way ticket to the location of their choice provided by the city government.

First migrants arrive at NYC’s Floyd Bennett Field — only to scoff and leave isolated site after just one look-around: ‘Disaster waiting to happen’​

The first batch of migrants was bused to Floyd Bennett Field’s makeshift tent city in Brooklyn on Sunday — and wanted no part of it.

Dozens of migrant families arrived at the controversial remote housing site courtesy of the Adams administration shortly after 12:30 p.m., looked around and promptly hopped back on the bus to try to return to their previous shelters.

“We weren’t told where we were going,” one of the bused migrant dads griped to The Post. “I work in The Bronx. My kids go to school in The Bronx. For us to live out here is ridiculous.

“We’re going back,” he fumed.

Another migrant father bused to the field said he has been living at the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, the city processing site for the migrants — and was heading back there.

“They are going to take us back to the train so we can go back to 45th Street,” he said. “We didn’t know we were coming here. They just said they were taking us to a shelter.

“I cannot stay here,” he added. “This is crazy.”

Switching to Electric Heat Too Expensive in New York. Ya Think?​

The ramifications of New York’s raft of new “green energy” policies are beginning to sink in for residents of the Empire State. One of those regulations will soon begin the process of forcing residents to phase out their natural gas, oil, or propane heating systems and replace them with electric baseboard heating or electrified heat pumps. This will primarily impact apartment buildings and condos first, but it will eventually impact everyone. The transition turns out to cost a pretty penny, even if there are state and federal rebates available to soften the blow. But once the new systems are installed, according to a new study from the Empire Center for Public Policy, it will cost significantly more to heat your space with this gear. And that assumes there will be enough juice on the grid to run it when you need it most, something that can no longer be taken for granted. (NY Post)

New York residents could face skyrocketing heating bills under the state’s new “green” policies — which may not even have a significant impact on greenhouse-gas emissions, a new study warns.
A review by the Empire Center for Public Policy says the state’s new rules will push homeowners to buy expensive electrified heat pumps while being forced to phase out their natural gas, oil and propane systems.
But even then, the new electrification policy could only have a negligible impact on greenhouse emissions while burning up homeowners’ wallets, according to the analysis, “In Cold Reality: The Cost and Challenge of Compulsory Home Electrification in New York.”

For the co-ops and apartment buildings facing this demand, they aren’t going to simply suck up all of these expenses. They will be passed on to the residents and tenants. At one community center in Bayside, Queens, the owners claim to have no idea how they will pay for the conversion. The more than 200 residents there will likely be seeing an increase of more than 30% in their monthly maintenance fees overnight. Most of the residents are lower-income, working-class families and retirees. The senior citizens are concerned that they will need to move to even smaller quarters if they can afford to stay at all.

The conversions will have to be widespread and the displacements will not be evenly distributed. Currently, only 13% of all residential buildings in New York have electric heating. On Staten Island, only 5% have electric or solar heating, so nearly all residential buildings will be hit. The most common form of heating in the coldest, western, and mountainous parts of the state is oil. They too will be forced to “upgrade” to heat pumps or electric furnaces at great expense. Those upstate, rural areas are also the ones with the lowest average incomes, particularly when compared to New York City. The average cost of electrifying a single-family home ranges from $14,600 to $46,200. So the outlook isn’t brilliant for them.

Why don't people throw their trash into the proper receptacles instead of the river?

Why don't people throw their trash into the proper receptacles instead of the river?

So one of two things had to have happened here. Either they looked at the abominable amount of trash that they themselves throw in their river and decided they couldn't afford the cleanup, so they would try to sue to get someone else to pay for it. Or even worse they looked at all of the stuff THEY threw in the river and said "Pepsi, how could you do this!".

 

[Hijinx]

Why don't people throw their trash into the proper receptacles instead of the river?

For the same reason they scatter trash along the highways, it's just more convenient to just toss it out the window on the way home.

 

[stgislander]

I sometimes wish my wife would do that. The car is her trash receptacle.
