New York deploys National Guard in subway to reduce crime, but is that what it's really about?

It appears woke cities are beginning to acknowledge that their soft-on-crime policies are actually encouraging more crime. Funny how that works.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, for example, has decided to send 750 National Guard troops to New York City’s subways to crack down on the growing violence.

While crime in the subway is up 45% year on year, Glenn Beck doesn’t believe a pseudo-military state is the best solution.

“She says that’s going to help with crime in the subways,” Glenn says, but “there’s another way to do that.”

That other way, of course, is enforcing the laws and jailing criminals, rather than mimicking the stop-and-frisk method.

“So, she sends in 750 uniformed National Guard soldiers with orders to search bags for weapons and other dangerous stuff — so, isn’t that stop and frisk? I think that is,” Glenn says.

In one recent story that illustrates Glenn’s point of enforcing the law and jailing criminals, four people were arrested in connection to three incidents of human remains being found on Long Island.

All four were charged on Wednesday with first degree hindering prosecution, tampering with physical evidence, and concealment of a human corpse. All four pleaded not guilty; however, they have not been charged with the murder of the two victims.

They’re now on unsupervised release.

“Wouldn’t it be better to put the people who are charged with crimes, even grizzly, heinous crimes, into jail, and not let them right back out on the street? I’m just saying, that’s an idea,” Glenn says.

Glenn believes there’s a reason the increase in crime and the real solutions are being ignored — and it’s not mere incompetence.

“This administration is doing nothing but empowering all the people that would love to see us live in chaos,” Glenn says.
