@ Chases Eagles — I agree with you.

@ Neo> “(I submit that the charges would never have been brought had Adams been better at toeing the party line on illegal aliens), so I think that Adams feels he has nothing to lose by telling some hard truths”

Adams obviously has figured out that apologizing to the Left for going off of their plantation does NOT win you their friendship going forward, and decided to go the other direction.
Which is the platform he campaigned on anyway.

After all, if he had recanted his immigration invasion heresy, would they (could they?) have called off the lawfare it motivated?

Now, if only a few more Democrats would see and imitate the sanity of his choice.

Adams is already an apostate so he might as well go all in.

It’s encouraging that the jury is still out. I’m hoping for justice, which would be an acquittal.

The judge should have never let the Penny case go to the jury. It should have been a directed verdict to acquit.

If Mr. Penny is convicted, it will be open season for criminals to attack subway riders.

In Antoine de St-Exupery’s novel of ideas ‘Citadelle’, the narrator–ruler of a fictional desert kingdom–speaks of about a criminal who is scheduled for execution in the morning. He muses that the soul of this man may well contain an inward beauty of some kind–perhaps his sentence should be commuted?…but decides otherwise:

“For by his death I stiffen springs which must not be permitted to relax.”

San Francisco and the NYC subway offer examples of what happens when the springs are permitted excessively to relax.

Adams may be trying to become the new Ed Koch. Which for a Dem in NY, is not that bad.

Reality can be a harsh mistress for a lot of deep blue city mayors. Many of them are no doubt pining for the heady days of 2020 with its draconian Covid measures that thrilled the authoritarian tendencies of such mayors and leftwing functionaries alike. And that’s not to mention the charms of the fiery-but-mostly-peaceful Summer of Floyd. But four years of reckless leftwing power have yielded bitter fruit, and the plebes are no longer as insouciant and pliable to a carefully curaited narrative trumpeted by the legacy media and social media platforms.
