Adams touts plan to take mentally ill off NYC streets one year after launch
2023-11-30
[NYPOST] Mayor Eric Adams
...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a few of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve...
on Wednesday touted his year-old initiative to get more mentally ill homeless New Yorkers off the streets — as more than half of the Big Apple’s 100 most troubled vagrants now off the streets and getting help.

An average of 137 mentally ill locals are now being taken off the streets by first responders and city health professionals every week — a significant number of them removed involuntarily under the mayor’s directive officials said.

So far, 54 vagrants named on two Top 50 lists of the city’s most at-risk homeless New Yorkers are either hospitalized or in housing and working toward normality, officials said.

"These 54 lives matter and they matter to everyday New Yorkers," Adams said at a City Hall presser Wednesday. "We see them, we sought them out, we helped them out and now their lives are on the right path.

"We want to be clear," he added. "We know there’s so much more to be done. We know that there’s so much work to be done. But starting these first steps gives us an opportunity to show that we are moving in the right direction and it fortifies the team.

#4  Taking them iff the street is easy. It’s keeping them off that’s the issue, when their legal system is deliberately designed to send everyone arrested right back out again.

#2  At risk of what? They seem to be missing a lot of the ones that are at risk of hurting Asian, Jewish or regular people.
