Update at the end
Two people were killed and two others were injured within twenty-four hours in a “horrific” series of stabbings on a New York City subway line, Brooklyn’s borough president said Saturday.
Communist Mayor de Blasio defunded the police in part and the police been a target of abuse by radicals in Black Lives Matter and Antifa.
The stabbings occurred between Friday morning and Saturday morning on the A train, according to police.

Police found a 67-year-old man suffering stab wounds at Ft. Washington station at 11:20 pm.
On Friday night, just before 11:30 p.m., police received another call at the Far Rockaway station and found a man on the train with stab wounds on his neck and body. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
About two hours later, an employee of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority found an unconscious 44-year-old woman on a train suffering from multiple stab wounds, according to authorities. She died at a hospital.
Around that same time, a 43-year-old man was found on the subway station in Fort Washington with stab wounds. The man told police that he was attacked by an unknown male, said Brian McGee, chief of detectives for northern Manhattan.
The victim was taken to the hospital, where he was in stable condition.
Police Commissioner Dermot Shea expressed his sympathy for the victims and said an additional 500 officers will be immediately deployed throughout the city to patrol subway stations.
Eric Adams, Brooklyn’s borough president, said the stabbings come amid a surge of other violent crimes on city subways.
One man might be responsible for 3 or even all 4 stabbings.
No one should be riding a New York City subway. The approach the communist mayor uses is a failure and criminals aren’t kept in jail when they are caught.

Remember on All In The Family, Gloria was lecturing Archie about gun violence and Archie asked her if she would be happy the victims were pushed from windows? Well look on the bright side of this, at least they weren’t shot with guns. Maybe we ought to turn NYC into Londonstan where their goofy Muslim mayor wants to register knives.
No, I’m not trying to be glib, just pointing out violent people will find a way to kill, be it knives or pushing out of a window. How are you going stop it, prosecute and lock them up for life. Overcrowding? I don’t care, and if you do, house released felons in your neighborhood or, better yet, you put them up in your home. And put halfway houses in the neighborhoods of judges and parole board members.

Will a Bernard Goetz type emerge in the glorious utopia NYC?
Criminals are the constituency of the CPUSA as fellow travelers must stick together.
No legitimate business will hire them so they can get an EBT card from mommygov and voting rights will be restored as part of the build communism back better plan.
When the poleece got punked with water bottles and ran off a few summers ago I knew that it wouldn’t end well.
The mayor has reduced the police force, dumped criminals on the streets, and still taxes are extortionate. Now people will demand more “protection” and taxes will go up and freedoms eliminated so these sheeple can imagine they are safer.
When will they realize that they are responsible for their own safety? The cops have no duty to protect the lives and property of citizens.
