🧵 Four years ago today, a Benz driver struck and killed Xing Long Lin, a Chinese delivery worker riding a scooter in Astoria. DA Melinda Katz refused to acknowledge the devastating loss suffered by Lin’s family and declined to hold the killer accountable. Please remember him.

NYC public school kids are in their seventh week of classes and have only had three full weeks of instruction uninterrupted by school closures — and next Monday is a day off too. 🥲

Horribly reckless procedure for a stolen car (that was not road legal in the first place due to its illegal tints). The NYPD thinks they’re in a video game. They endangered everyone on the road. Meanwhile the two suspects’s crimes were not even bail eligible. They just walked home.

Hey “Brooklyn neighbors”— FU

Brooklyn neighbors fear new bike lanes on busy McDonald Avenue will be dangerous

Windsor Terrace neighbors are growing concerned the city's plan to redesign the busy four-lane corridor with bike lanes will make it less safe.

Her family should have sued the city for allowing the killer to walk away.

“Medical episode leads to e-bike crash” can you imagine?

I don’t believe the driver woke up yesterday and said, I am planning on driving like an asshole and ramming a pole, hurting myself and my passengers as well as a pedestrian, plunging myself into financial strain and debt.

But he did. And we need to ask HOW and WHY this happens.

Journalistic malpractice from the Daily News. Nowhere in the article is there any evidence whatsoever that the driver had a “medical episode.” No doctor examined him, no tests were run. Meanwhile, the NY Post calls it an “accidental” crash. Sweeping violent crashes under the rug.

Jeez. Well, at least they didn’t murder anyone.

So was it “medical episode” “lost control” “possible mechanical failure” “swerved to avoid another vehicle” or some other excuse?
Glad no pedestrians were killed or maimed or had their legs torn off.
Another day on Eric Adams’ streets.

Oh Christ. They were clearly going through some things and do NOT need an indelible quote to float out there. The press is probably treating them this way in part because they’re immigrant.

Really the best idea for the news to shove a camera in this poor kid’s face and listen to her say things like “the last day my sister was alive she was mad at me and so we didn’t speak, and this was God’s plan because he needed her?”
Give this family some space.

Another family devastated by the actions of a reckless driver on streets that are hostile to pedestrians, especially the elderly. Not a SINGLE word from any NYC leader. You’ll hear a ton about “e-bikes” but nothing about SUVs. I am so sorry for this family’s loss.

Daily reminder that Andrew Cuomo does not have a transportation plan whatsoever. Here’s his only mention of street safety on his ChatGPT-written policy pages. A car driver kills a New Yorker every week, if not every day here, mostly in crosswalks:

Increase accountability for e-bike and moped violations.

Another driver has killed a person in NYC. The current mayoral administration has done NOTHING to protect residents from reckless SUV drivers. I wonder how many repeat red light running and speeding offenses this driver has on his record.

Three men in their 20s, dead in a flash. Driver “lost control” and hit a guardrail at 4am. Nothing short of a massacre, and it won’t make headlines or feed into a narrative about how dangerous this mode of transportation is.
