Gov. Hochul needs to resign!

Gov. Kathy Hochul ripped for ‘tone-deaf’ tweet about improved subway safety after sleeping straphanger (A straphanger is a passenger who stands in a crowded bus, subway, streetcar, or train and holds onto a strap or other support for balance. The term can also refer to a commuter who uses public transportation.) fatally lit on fire and her post bragging about her subway safety improvements mere hours after a sleeping lady was killed when she was set on fire aboard a Brooklyn train Sunday. 

By an illegal SHE Kathy wanted to have stay in NY. The Democratic leader was blasted from both sides of the aisle after her office put out a social media post celebrating a decrease in subway crime even in the wake of the horrific immolation and a double-stabbing on 7 train in Queens that left one rider dead.

“In March, I took action to make our subways safer for the millions of people who take the trains each day,” Hochul wrote on X Sunday afternoon alongside photos of her in the transit system with law enforcement and riders. This woman is a radical lunatic and this now is too far. She needs to resign or face charges herself for how badly she's allowed the state to get. She is an utter disgrace to the JOB, and shows it in every press, video, and speech where she lies constantly for the liberal morons who belive this crap.

“Since deploying the @NationalGuardNY to support @NYPDnews and @MTA safety efforts and adding cameras to all subway cars, crime is going down, and ridership is going up.” 

The tweet was quickly blasted, including by Rep. Ritchie Torres, who has been critical of his fellow Democrat in recent weeks and is eyeing a possible run for governor in 2026. 

“Two hours ago, Kathy Hochul took a victory lap for making subways ‘safer.’ She congratulates herself on the same day two subway riders were stabbed in Queens (one in the face and one in the chest) and another was barbarically burned alive,” he wrote on X. “Has there ever been a more tone-deaf Governor in the history of New York?” 

Another Democrat, Councilman Robert Holden, chided Hochul’s tweet as “incredible timing.” “Kathy Hochul’s incompetence is costing lives she needs to leave public office immediately before more New Yorkers suffer,” he wrote on X.

Republicans also expressed outrage over the shocking social media snafu. “Are you kidding me??? You are really posting this after a woman was set on fire & died on a Brooklyn train this morning and two people were stabbed (one killed) on a Queens train yesterday,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis posted online. The two fatal incidents on the transit system happened just hours apart Sunday morning. 

In the first, a 37-year-old man was killed and a 26-year-old man was injured during a stabbing on a southbound 7 train at the 61 Street-Woodside station around 12:30 a.m. after getting into a dispute with another rider, according to cops. A person of interest, who also suffered slash wounds, was taken into custody, police said. No charges have been filed so far.

Then around 7:30 a.m., a Guatemalan migrant allegedly lit a sleeping subway rider on fire on an idling F train at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station, according to police. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene and a suspect was arrested hours later. The governor’s office did not immediately reply to an email Sunday night seeking comment about the criticized tweet. 

But she appeared to address the outrage in a pair of posts Sunday evening, insisting any transit crime is “one too many.” “A suspect is now in custody for the horrific incident on the F train. 

Our brand-new security cameras helped law enforcement find the suspect and arrest him. Grateful to @NYPDnews and @mtapd for their aggressive response,” she wrote. “Make no mistake: any crime is one too many, even with subway crime going down. We are continuing to surge personnel and resources to make our subways safer.”

Woman set on fire in NY Subway

Man faces murder charges after woman fatally set on fire on New York subway reports are that the man responsible is now in custody but how did this even happen? Well here is what I know so far. The attack took place on the F train at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station in Brooklyn. A suspect is facing charges of murder after a woman who appeared to be asleep was fatally set on fire on a subway train in New York City. 

The woman, who has not been identified, sat motionlessly on board a stationary F train at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station in Brooklyn at about 7:30 am (12:30 GMT) on Sunday when a man calmly approached her and used a lighter to set her clothes on fire, the New York Police Department said. A suspect identified by police as Sebastian Zapeta was taken into custody hours after the woman died on Sunday morning.

Transit police apprehended the suspect after receiving a report from three high school students who had recognized the man. They had seen images of the suspect taken from surveillance and police body cam video and widely distributed by police. The man got off the car as police officers on patrol in the station rushed to the blaze. 

“New Yorkers came through again,” said New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who described the case as “one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit against another human being”. The officers used fire extinguishers to put out the fire and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency responders, police said. 

They added there was no interaction before the attack and they did not believe the two people knew each other.

Footage has emerged showing a horrifying incident in a New York subway train where the woman was burned to death. What’s even more shocking is that bystanders just stood there instead of jumping in to help, people pull out their phones. 

Even a cop was there and did nothing Watch the cop just walking back and forth. Watch at your own discretion as it's not easy to watch but this is PURE SOLID NEWS.

Jeff Carter, a spokesman for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said that Zapeta is a 33-year-old Guatemalan citizen who entered the US illegally after being previously removed in 2018. While immigrants commit violent crimes at a lower rate than people born in the US, right-wing politicians have seized on incidents of violent crime by undocumented immigrants to push for mass deportations and more restrictive immigration policies. 

Cellphone video published on social media by a horrified onlooker also showed a man sitting on a bench on the platform a few steps away from the burning woman, dressed in a grey hoodie that resembles that worn by the suspect arrested later on Sunday.

Asked whether the man watching from the bench was the attacker, police said that responding officers had no reason to think he was a suspect when they rushed to the woman’s aid. About four million trips are taken each weekday on the city’s subway, where violent crime is relatively rare. As of November, there had been nine homicides reported on the subway in 2024, compared to five in the same period in 2023, according to police data. 

Earlier this month, a jury acquitted Daniel Penny of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Jordan Neely, a homeless former Michael Jackson impersonator, on the city’s subway. To me folks and I've thought about this for a long time especially post election. A LOT of these people let in during the Biden time in office we're being allowed in to commit crimes like this.

This is all done thanks to Biden who had these criminals come in and a lot of them were told if they shall lose the election to commit these grusome acts post election to shame the new Trump white house while they try and deport illegals. To me this is all part of the liberals vision to "Build, Back, Worse!"
