Guy got shot in the middle of the day and the current report is it was random targeting. So you’re just wrong here. Of course statistically it’s still pretty safe but not a good look.
You just answered your own question.
train was on the bridge too, so it was broad daylight with multiple witnesses
This is an irrelevant post since this happened in the middle of the day at a downtown Manhattan stop
At least its cheap to live in nyc…oh wait…
The victim was an employee at Goldman Sachs according to the news
Damn…
Always go EB>BB
this wrong but i laughed
We might have lost one of our own.
He wasn't IB, but still
Hell if we can’t afford to Uber to and from work tf we doing in this profession
Shut the fuck up everyone diversity is our strength
Honestly, people need to stop voting Democrat. I don't agree with many things the Republican Party has done, but the Democrats are INSANE right now - de Blasio, Cuomo, Hochul, Alvin Bragg have implemented a bunch of awful policies under the guise of "criminal justice reform" - for example, in 2019, the Democrats in New York State - with the full support of every elected Democrat mentioned above, eliminated bail for most offences - meaning that violent criminals are being let out immediately after being arrested. In this case, the killer had NINETEEN prior arrests, but was somehow wandering free.
Similarly, Manhattan's new DA, Alvin Bragg, has intentionally reduced prosecution of crime and in cases where he has prosecuted crime, has sought the lightest sentence possible for criminals (often no jail time at all). Since 2014, when de Blasio took office, and particularly after 2018, when the Democrats obtained supermajority status in the statehouse, violent crime in NYC is way up. Just this year alone, murders YTD are up more than 40% compared to the same time last year. In 2020, murders were up 44% from 2019. This trend will continue unless policies change, and policies will not change by re-electing the same politicians.
This fall is a midterm election year. Hochul, de Blasio, and Democrats at the city level, state level, and federal level will be up for election. The Republican Party is promising to restore crime laws to pre-2018 levels, and to prosecute criminals. Even if you don't plan on voting Republican, there's no sense in voting for Democrats if they continue to push these dangerous policies. Just my two cents
Lol at it being a democrat or Republican issue. Main reason is just that there are too many people in the city to prosecute. Republicans talk a big game but would devolve to the same exact methods over time. Anyone who tries to say that the other party would do better in a situation like this is talking out of their ass
Nope, when Giuliani was mayor he singlehandedly took the highest crime rates ever of NYC in the early 1990s, when the whole city was a dignified crack-den, and turned it into the safest major city in the country. If he had been a Democrat like DeBlasio, NYC would be twice as violent as even Chicago today. Did he do this through the democrat way, by defund the police and 'preventative' measures like dumping money into mental health programs? Hell no. It was stop-and-frisk, plainclothes units, and profiling (aka using the statistics-- the granny in a floral dress shuffling along on a walker isn't as likely to be committing violent crime as other demographics, but democrats want her to be treated as such). He also had a DA that actually did their job and prosecuted criminals. Was his police-force the most understanding, community-based, and benevolent? Nope. But when you have psychotic people running around attacking and shooting random people like this, logical people simply don't care about how 'community-based' the police force is.
Republicans are no better. They will exacerbate issues and cause massive racial tension.
There needs to be an overhaul of the political system.
> They will exacerbate issues and cause massive racial tension.
This is what the Democrats do...
Feeling for everyone in NYC. Stay safe, I'd be scared shitless.
Don’t wear Banker bags or finance vests would be my advice. Stay safe out there.
International here…why cant they have metal detectors and security checks?
Even Amtrak doesn't do that
Would take way longer to get through
You also wouldnt die quite as often
they could even do a TSA pre-screen type arrangement
remember nyc mayor wanted Jamie Dimon to take the subway lol

(New York mayor urges Jamie Dimon to ride subway to work)
But wait, I thought it was illegal to carry a firearm on public transportation. These criminals are so inconsiderate, if they're going to shoot people they really need to do it where they are legally allowed to have firearms. Just a complete dick move on their part bringing a gun where they know law abiding citizens won't be armed to defend themselves.
That’s why they’re criminals…?
He was using extreme sarcasm…
@CompBanker is correct, was being sarcastic because NY has idiotic gun laws that don't actually protect law abiding citizens but put them in a worse position because criminals don't actually follow the law and know regular law abiding citizens can't defend themselves.
You're a fucking retard.
how do native new yorkers feel about this? this is fkin tragic. as an incoming analyst I'm getting scared coming to NYC. so much for bigdreams in finance, i cant imagine being randomly shot at just on a random sunny day on a subway.
have you considered investing your signing bonus into a kevlar vest?
isnt it sad for something to come to this state lol .. jokes aside, I will hope that the team leaders are also aware of our fears and let us work from home more.
Been in the city since 2012, graduated in 2016 and stayed here. Have lived in a few different areas - first Hell’s Kitchen as an analyst, South Chelsea as an associate, just moved to UWS. To be honest I think much of this is all about perception — there are fewer office workers in the city nowadays, and if your office is in midtown you’re likely surrounded by 5-10 vacant storefronts that were pre-covid lunch and happy hour standbys.
My office moved downtown but still, even in the middle of the week, it always feels like it’s the Friday before a holiday weekend.
Most of the time I feel safe, but it’s just the fact that I’ll hop on a subway at 9 or 10pm and the car is legit empty — maybe a few stragglers going for a ride along the line — that’s what gives me pause. Never was like that. I’d felt a sense of security when there were crowds of people around, like there were so many eyes that it kept borderline people from trying to pull something. But now it just feels more… remote. I don’t think there are more criminals out there necessarily - maybe there are, the Post says bail reform is driving it in certain areas. No, I think it’s this new situation where commuters are leaving by 6, and bars/restaurants are closing earlier too (sometimes/often before midnight), so we’re left feeling like a fish out of water on the subway or sidewalk after 9pm. Can take a corporate Uber home a couple times a week, but now the MDs might “travel” in just a few days to show face while expecting us to pick back up like it’s 2019. Morning commute is fine, though.
The toughest part for me isn’t this possibility of becoming a target or getting mugged. That’s always been there. No - the toughest part is seeing this city that I grew up with for 10 years suddenly peak in 2019 and swiftly fall flat on its ass while a crop of petty assholes who’ve never lived or worked here became overnight experts telling me about what it’s like to be a New Yorker in 2022.
I grew up on Long Island, went to school in the Bronx, and always worked in Manhattan. Once I raised my hand to help out with dealflow in Boston when I was a 2yr Analyst but it just wasn’t the same, after a few months I gave my boss an ultimatum to bring me back and won’t make that mistake again. It’ll be some time before NYC gets that old vibe back - but for now there’s nothing else but to lean into it until she gets back on the upswing. Or… or you can be a puss and move to Hoboken because your “friend showed us all these cool bars and you can get so much more space out here!”
As for me, I’m not fucking leaving - even if De Blasio finds a way back into Gracey.
Overall I enjoyed your post and I thank you for writing this out. However, it feels a bit "disjointed". So what exactly are you putting forward??? You present some observations about the city, the work-life, the subways, the good, the bad but then you talk about not leaving and all that. So where exactly do you stand on, well, anything? I'm not seeing a cohesive, final argument to all of this.
dude I don't even want to visit NYC anymore, not worth it
DeBlasio's New York... go watch "Escape from New York" because that's where we are going!
I have private armed security services available please contact if you are interested in such services
Pussy
Is this shooting in addition to the one that was reported yesterday or is this same one that was discussed here yesterday?
