Plenty of Shame for So Many Caused by a Fiery Death

As it has been reported on all week, on Sunday, December 22, an as-yet unidentified woman was burned to death on a New York City subway train by Sebastian Zepata, a thirty-three year-old illegal immigrant from Guatemala. He had been deported several other times, most recently in 2018 for entering the country illegally. It is unclear how he re-entered the US. (Can you say Biden-Harris-Mayorkas?)

Then, on Monday, December 23, Krazy Kat Hochul, idiot governor of New York was reportedly ripped for a “tone-deaf” tweet bragging about her subway safety improvements mere hours after the sleeping straphanger was killed when she was set on fire aboard a Brooklyn train Sunday.

This incident has all the earmarks of the Kitty Genovese tragedy which occurred on March 13, 1964 in Kew Gardens, New York. You know, when no one came to her aid as she was attacked, sexually assaulted, and murdered as she walked from her parked car. The assault lasted thirty-five minutes and occurred outside of an apartment building where a reported thirty-eight witnesses either heard or saw the attack and did nothing to stop it.

Kinda like that. Except these bystanders took out their phones to record it for a potential “You Tube moment” in the hopes to gain Fame and Fortune as the woman burned to death in front of them.

The City and the MTA did not have emergency equipment on the train for anyone, including the NYPD officer, to extinguish the fire. Yeah, the announcement, “If you see an emergency, call an MTA employee,” rings hollow.

Why? What will they do with no life-saving equipment? Stand watch with everyone else? The announcement means nothing; it is all a distraction from the inadequacy of the State, the City and the MTA.

So, what is next? Do more people have to ride fearfully under the ground of an unsafe New York? Unsafe from another criminal, illegal immigrant?

The Mayor seems to understand what needs to be done. After January 20, he needs to step up and declare that New York City is no longer a Sanctuary City and begin to cooperate with ICE to rid the city of it greatest crime problems.

And Krazy Kat, the corrupt governor, needs to go back to Buffalo and worry about her next election campaign. Because, right now, she is aiding and abetting in the destruction of the “Greatest City In the World” with every single inept and stupid policy she promotes.

And by the way, she was for “congestion pricing” before she opposed it, and was for it again with a “grid lock alert” surcharge before she was against THAT. Shades of John Kerry, yes?

And sadly, in the end, until something is done to fix the illegal immigrant problem, apparently, this woman will have died in vain.

I weep for her and pray her soul is at peace.
