A recent string of graphic crimes have struck New York, leaving its citizens and Americans in general dismayed. As some worry that New York is growing significantly dangerous, a bipartisan response condemns the attacks.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) has already shared his willingness to meet with the incoming Trump Administration, citing the need to crack down on illegal immigration and crime in the city.
Recently, a woman was set on fire inside a subway train. The suspect identified by police as Sebastian Zapata is a Guatemalan citizen who entered the U.S. illegally after previously being removed from the U.S. in 2018. The suspect is now facing murder and arson charges in New York City.
The increase in crime of this nature have drawn a response from both Republicans and Democrats, who are sharing their concern over the safety of citizens across the country.
New York Rep. Ritchie Torres (D) went on social media to comment on the aforementioned crime, writing that "in New York, dangerous people are allowed to freely roam the subway. Yet the political establishment insists on gaslighting the public with deceptive headlines: 'crime is down' and 'the subways are safe.'"
Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R) responded to the social media post, writing that "the sick thing about this is living in a culture where our citizen's first reaction is to pull out their phones and film a woman burning alive, instead of attempting to save her." "They all had jackets and could have tried to put out the flames. They didn't."
Footage from the crime spread throughout social media, showing that the suspect was fanning the flames with his shirt. However, onlookers stood by, either staring at the burning woman or filming it, but nobody attempted to help the woman. New York police also received criticism as officers were filmed passing by the burning woman, providing no help.
