Reply to comment by [deleted] in Walmart closing all Portland locations due to high crime. I’m fearful this will be many NYC stores future too as crime and shoplifting explode unchecked by islandersguy109
If you don’t think shoplifting was a big factor in the store closings then i guess you also doubt that the US put a man in the moon

No one is going to listen or enforce that.

For all the criticism about the Post, I don't ever really see balance when it comes to the Times or even the Daily News.
Do you guys check out those papers?

How about regulating the sale of batteries rather than making an affordable, efficient, and societally beneficial means of transportation more difficult?

I saw Pace University had a game development class when I looked for such things in the past. There was also game jams as well.
Dunno if there's an independent organization running anything.

ABC7 updated their article with the following info:
> When McIver was initially arrested in 2019, bail was set at $250,000. But he was released on his own recognizance in March 2020 after prosecutors failed to act in time under the speedy trial law.
> He was given a second chance and offered a no jail plea if he completed two years of treatment. He accepted, knowing that if he failed, he would be sent to prison the full five years.
A no prison plea for an attempted kiddie rapist? This city is run by fucking morons. Sentence him to treatment all you want but he can receive that treatment in prison.
God I fucking hate this place sometimes

Reply to NYC murders, shootings and subway crime dropped in February, continuing the downward trend: NYPD by Darrkman
It's easy for crime to go down when the NYPD doesn't even bother to show up.
No paperwork no crime in this city.

I’d rather not, no disrespect. It’s a pretty specific question for a specific user involving a decent amount of backstory.

Reply to Pro-Palestinian activist gets 18 months in prison for attacks on Jews in New York by nahalkishon
>A federal judge in New York City on Friday sentenced a pro-Palestinian activist to 18 months in prison for a series of attacks on Jews in 2021 and 2022.
Meanwhile, that rapist case is pending from 2019 and was roaming free.
TIL: the NY justice system is so shitty that the federal justice system is more efficient.
As one of the leading states in the nation, how proud can we really be about NY's judicial system?
>Masoud later messaged a Jewish Instagram account that posted about the incident, saying, “I feel bad for you zionist people when judgment day comes and we slaughter all of them like sheep.”
This guy should've been convicted on terrorism charges, to be honest.

I don't see anything wrong with a PEV registration and license plate. It puts the onus on a single entity (the government) to verify that the PEV + battery is meeting safety regulations, and also allows for the tracking of PEVs when they break the law.
A PEV registration could be shown in businesses / offices / apartments to prove that the vehicle passed safety checks.

Not to mention the vast amount of space cars require for driving / parking.

Would they allow the question (that got you muted) to be asked here? Since a mute is less than a temporary ban, I infer that it didn't violate rule 15.

Seems to me that a building burning out of control isn't only a result of what caused the fire. Battery fires are extremely hot, which can start surrounding things on fire pretty quickly, but the heat is within the proximity of the battery; so how come the fire spread so quickly throughout the entire building without any built in structure to help slow it down? Why were they allowing the e-scooter to be parked in what looks like the employee coat area anyways? If they built a secured outdoor bike area, preferably covered, then this could have been avoided.
IMO there needs to be more safe/secure storage sites for PEVs / batteries... like parking garages that take up a fraction of the space.

Considering the scope of the attacks on multiple people from 2021-2022, he should have gotten significantly more time.

And there's so much fear-mongering.
A white person from the midwest is made to believe they would get murdered the first day in a NYC subway.
A black person from NYC is made to believe they would be wrongly convicted for a crime or brutalized by white cops the moment they step in the midwest.

Aliexpress is a marketplace for (primarily Indian or Chinese) slave labor to manufacture dirt cheap products devoid of quality or safety standards.
Shopping for some cheap decor or a knockoff puffer jacket? You're probably good. Need something electronic and/or has a lithium ion battery? Buddy, you're barking up the wrong tree.
Cough up some more dough and you'll be happy you did.

I understand that you're worried that guy may be wrongly convicted. And that you're worried you might also be wrongly convicted.
Indeed many males have been wrongly accused and convicted of sexual assault in the past. And history has many examples of that.
However, I claim these fears have been blown out of proportion in today's NYC.
And the fear-mongering environment (of innocent people being unjustly convicted) is actually part of what has been blocking the answer to what you asked: "why he still hasn’t been tried after 4 years".
That problem doesn't get addressed because our legislative is more worried about the defendant's rights than worried about achieving justice as a whole.

>...positioned over the road ... positioned in relation with the street above or below.
This is the part that I find most frustrating because it implies that surface street vehicles should take priority over accessible public transit. That's a view I reject as being against the public interest, but I recognize that I'm in the minority.
Meanwhile every parent with a stroller, every person with mobility issues, every person who's just plain dead tired after a day of work, every person who got a crap night's sleep because they are working 2 jobs, is forced to use the stairs so that cars drivers of vehicles aren't inconvenienced.
