Guardian Angels Return To New York City Subways (How Long Before Alvin Bragg Throws Them In Prison?)

Posted • December 30, 2024: Crime on New York City subways is out of control. In the last week and a half, two people were set on fire -- one fatally.

Reminds me of the 80s when Guardian Angels were on subways in most big citys when the events happen their there to interact and help. This is what the Democrats have done: taken New York City back 40 years. (…)
