Guardian Angels resume subway patrols

AM NY:

A week after a woman was burned to death at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue subway station, the Guardian Angels were at the Brooklyn transit hub on Dec. 29 to announce the return of their volunteer security patrols — and call attention to the surge of homeless individuals in the system. 

Curtis Sliwa, who founded the Guardian Angels in 1979, said Sunday he would have 150 of his volunteer members on regular duty throughout the subway system, starting out at hubs like Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue and then dispersing out throughout the subways. 

The announcement came in the wake of the Dec. 23 arson attack at the station where a woman, believed to be homeless, was deliberately burned alive on board a stationary F train in what appeared to be a random attack that shocked and horrified New Yorkers.  more

  1. NYC used to have transit police on the subways and stations. Bloomberg changed that. Now they have to rely on volunteers, who are subject to prosecution if they try and stop a violent crime.

  2. Big mistake

    Fat Alvin is just looking for an excuse to Daniel Penny every last one of these guys. Their very presence shines a massive spotlight on the corruption,racism and ineffectiveness of the New York DA’s office in keeping New Yorkers safe.

  3. As long as none of them are white, the fat pig scumbag DA Alvin Bragg won’t care. What he prosecutes is any white person successfully protecting himself or anyone else against a black assailant. That was what the Penny case was all about from day one.
