Rolling Out the National Guard Troops By Charles Taylor (Florida)

New York Governor, Kathy Hochul, has put around 1,000 national guard troops to man the New York subways. This is part of her crime-fighting plan, as crime in the subways has got out of control. Stabbings and bashings are common. Thus, from what I have seen of video footage, the national guard stand around waving their M16/M14 assault rifles (yes, full-auto), while the police do bag searches. While that seems to be a plan, a lot of crims will not carry weapons in a bag, but rather on their person, so once more it is the ordinary person who is being treated like a criminal. Still, having national guardsmen with assault rifles could still be a show of force, and a deterrent.

While I thought that this could be a one more movement to totalitarianism, the same thing was done after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, so it is part of the course. It does show how bad crime has got, with illegals playing their part in the stabbings, bashings, and lootings. It is but another sober lesson for the rest of the West, about where the open borders future, of endless acceptance of the Third World, will go.

"Hundreds of National Guard troops began flooding city subways Wednesday as part of a crime-fighting plan suddenly unveiled by Gov. Kathy Hochul following a series of attacks underground.

The governor defended the major show of force — not seen since the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks — as an "even better" way to help New York City "solve this crisis."

"These brazen heinous attacks on our subway system will not be tolerated," Hochul declared from the MTA's Transit Rail Control Center in Midtown, pointing to last week's random slashing of a train conductor and other recent acts of violence.

In total, 750 National Guardsmen and 250 state and MTA cops will help the NYPD patrol "the city's busiest transit stations" and check commuters' bags, Hochul said – adding the initiative came after meetings with Mayor Eric Adams, MTA officials and the NYPD last week.

The announcement of her "five point plan" to combat transit crime came the day after Adams — who was noticeably absent from the gov's press conference — had already revealed the NYPD would be enhancing bag checks and stepping up its presence in the system.

Still, the governor pinned her deployment and wider safety crackdown on the brutal Feb. 26 slashing of an MTA conductor in Brooklyn and a 64-year-old postal worker being kicked onto the tracks at Penn Station over the weekend.

"No one heading to their job or to visit family or go to a doctor appointment should worry that the person sitting next to them possesses a deadly weapon," she said. "They shouldn't worry about whether someone's going to brandish a knife or gun. That's what we're going to do with these checkpoints."
