These types of numbers are indicative of war-zones.<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic \u201cleaders\u201d of these cities rant about gun violence incessantly but fail to address their lamentably flawed policies, like no-bail laws that prevent <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ropriate incarceration.<\/p>\n<p>It has become redundant to say the least, but our only remedy is to vote these losers out.<\/p>\n<p><em>Denis David<\/em><br \/><em>East Rockaway<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Until New York City and other progressive cities across America get rid of these progressive district attorneys and reverse all these foolish laws, like the bail-reform law, and protect the police, you will continue to see shootings.<\/p>\n<p>No amount of gun regulation will stop this. Uncuff the police and support them, and you will see a drop in shootings.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dan Gardner<\/em><br \/><em>Staten Island<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Seven people were killed and many others wounded in shootings on the Fourth of July. Even on a holiday, gun violence does not stop.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Adams, what the hell are you going to do about this continued gun violence against the citizens of this city?<\/p>\n<p>Stop doing photo ops and going to expensive parties, get your high-paid rear end in gear and work to help stop these terrible acts of violence in our city. Let the NYPD do its job fully and effectively without any restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>The streets of Manhattan have been turned into the streets of Dodge City. More and more residents are leaving this city because of fears for their safety and that of their families. Mr. Mayor, do something \u2014 now.<\/p>\n<p><em>John Amato<\/em><br \/><em>Fresh Meadows<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What a poor testament to the political leadership in New York that they are unwilling to declare war on crime and its perpetrators.<\/p>\n<p>They are weak, feckless and fearful of pushback from the spineless woke crowd and complicit left-wing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>. They are unworthy of the offices they occupy.<\/p>\n<p>By not allowing the police to do their jobs, they are doing the citizenry a disservice and keeping it in constant peril. These intellectual lightweights should feel guilt and shame for their gross ineptitude. Wake up, New York. You get what you vote for.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jerry Chiappetta<\/em><br \/><em>Monticello<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And the beat goes on in and around major cities \u2014 criminals are more emboldened than ever with nary a threat of jail time. Innocents are caught in the crossfire. And has anyone heard from Black Lives Matter recently?<\/p>\n<p>Unless the truth of inner-city crime is addressed, the barrage of gun violence will continue ad nauseam.<\/p>\n<p>Cops are leaving in droves and feckless liberal policies are hurting the people who Mayor Adams so fervently said he wanted to protect. He\u2019s way in over his head. He needs to stop pandering and do something. <\/p>\n<p><em>Kevin Judge<\/em><br \/><em>Naples, Fla.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you live in New York City and you\u2019ve been on a jury, you might understand better why gun violence and crime seem to be prevalent.<\/p>\n<p>Even if we toughened our gun-possession laws and put criminals of all types in jail, these life-altering problems won\u2019t change.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve witnessed jurors debating about the guilt or innocence of a defendant, and it opened my eyes to the real problem in our city and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>The last jury I served on revealed a glaring fact: We are an agenda-driven society. People make decisions based on personal opinions, not the good of the people or the human pain and loss at stake. <\/p>\n<p><em>Jayne Lee<\/em><br \/><em>Rockaway<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Want to weigh in on today\u2019s stories?
