VIDEO: Group of Assailants Beats, Stabs Man Outside New York City Bar
Four assailants remain on the loose after the New York City Police Department (NYPD) said the group kicked, whipped, and stabbed a 46-year-old man outside a Queens bar this month.
The incident occurred outside of El Pasillo bar and nightclub located on 103rd Street in Queens’ Corona neighborhood at about 3:45 a.m. on April 17, police said. The NYPD told Breitbart News via email that four men attempted to enter the club but were denied, leading to a dispute between the group and the club’s management and security.
A 46-year-old bystander then tried to intervene but was met with kicks from two members of the group, while another brandished a belt and proceeded to whip the victim, police said. A fourth suspect stabbed the 46-year-old three times before the crew fled the scene on foot, police said. The victim was conveyed to NYC Health and Hospitals Elmhurst in critical condition, though his condition has since stabilized, police said.
Police said the club’s bouncer, 22-year-old Pedro Delacruz, fired a gunshot in the air in hopes of dispersing the crowd and was arrested days later on April 22, the New York Daily News reported. He was charged with criminal possession of a loaded firearm and criminal possession of a weapon. After first being held on a $250,000 bond or $25,000 cash bail, Delacruz was released without bail following a court appearance Wednesday, the Daily News said.
The incident comes as crime rates in New York City have climbed under the watch of Mayor Eric Adams. From January 1 through April 24, felony assaults have jumped 21.4 percent compared to the same period in 2021, the NYPD’s crime statistics show. Similarly, misdemeanor assaults have increased 29.8 percent, grand larceny is up 54 percent, and transit crime is up a staggering 65.3 percent over the same period compared to last year.

Our third world country on the West Coast
A few years ago, a friend from Brazil visited Los Angeles and was appalled with what he saw. He called it a third world country, a rather amazing comment since my friend lives in Sao Paulo. He said that LA is not what he remembered 25 years ago. It was sad, or so he said.
Well, California is in decline no matter how wonderful the climate is. Just ask the people who live there like Joel Kotkin:
Despite the state’s myriad advantages, research shows it plagued by economic immobility and inequality, crushing housing and energy costs, and a failing education system.
Worse than just a case of progressive policies creating regressive outcomes, it appears California is descending into something resembling modern-day feudalism, with the poor and weak trapped by policies subsidized by taxes paid by the rich and powerful.
California may conjure images of Rodeo Drive and Malibu mansions in the public imagination, but today the state suffers the highest cost-adjusted poverty rate in the U.S.
The poor and near-poor constitute over one third -- well over 10 million -- of the state’s residents according to the Public Policy Institute of California.
Los Angeles, by far the state’s largest metropolitan area, and once a magnet for middle class aspirations, has one of the highest poverty rates among major U.S. cities.
A United Way of California analysis shows that over 30 percent of residents lack sufficient income to cover basic living costs even after accounting for public-assistance programs; this includes half of Latino and 40 percent of black residents.
Some two-thirds of noncitizen Latinos live at or below the poverty line.
How does such a failed state survive? Well, the rich live in well-protected gated communities and attend a climate change seminar often to feel relevant. The poor, and whatever is left of the middle class, have to survive the crime, high cost of living and a collapse of law and order.
Normally, such a political class would be thrown out of office by angry voters. Incredibly, the Democrats have achieved the winning formula: they win elections while refusing to take care of their constituents. I don't know how they do it but they do it.
So don't expect anyone to record a tune about California dreaming.

Business owners considering arming themselves amid crime surge
LA Residents got What They Wanted: Criminals Who Aren’t Afraid
This is what the people of Los Angeles wanted. They put their police force on a short leash, blaming the overworked officers for the least amount of violence against criminals while at the same time absolving the criminals of responsibility. It has led to increasing numbers of officers leaving the force or retiring early. With fewer officers on the street and those that are being hesitant to act, the criminals are taking advantage of the situation.
The Los Angeles Police Department recently started warning people not to wear expensive jewelry in public, or they might become the target of thieves. Thieves have become so brazen that they smashed in the front window of Luxury Jewels, a Beverly Hills jewelry store, in broad daylight and fled with merchandise estimated to be worth $3 to $5 million dollars.
“We’re in the heart of Beverly Hills. Who thought this would happen in broad daylight?” Owner Peter Sedghi said.
“Over the last year, there has been a marked increase of armed robberies involving victims wearing expensive jewelry while in public. If it is visible, it can be a target,” an LAPD statement said.
The Associated Press also reported about other high-end robberies. “In one case, the armed thieves allegedly stole more than $3,600 worth of jewelry from a man at a mall parking garage. In the other incident, one victim was pistol-whipped and the other had their Rolex and phone stolen at gunpoint during a follow-home robbery,” according to the AP.
In the city of Los Angeles alone, robberies are up 18 percent this year compared to the same time in 2021. Robberies with a firearm are up 44 percent in the same time period across the city.
This means that not only is there a greater chance that a victim may be shot, but police responding to the incident are also endangered. Because of the growing exodus of police officers, police departments are working to put new officers on the street faster. This could be a mistake for a couple of reasons. One, officers need to be trained on how to respond properly to a situation. Lack of training is one of the 
reasons often cited as why police reputations have taken a hit. Two, those new officers need to have it drilled into them to always wear personal protective gear when dealing with the public. Nowadays, they often aren’t because they are being taught to understand the criminal and not trigger them to violence.
In November 2021, detectives from the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division formed a Follow-Home Task Force to investigate crimes where people are targeted by criminals and tailed home or to an isolated area. It focused on areas of the city that were wealthier and had high-end businesses.
“The victims were being targeted based on the high-end jewelry they were wearing or the high-end car they were driving,” police said in a statement when the task force was announced.
Don’t expect it to be enough -- and not because the police aren’t doing their jobs. They are risking their lives to capture criminals, only to have liberal district attorneys and judges release them or give them a soft sentence.
When there’s no fear of punishment, you can’t expect the bad behavior to stop.
“You can’t blame the cops. Between the defunding movements, the race hoaxes, and the revolving doors in prosecutors’ offices, what are the police supposed to do? They’re under-staffed, under-funded, under fire, and at constant risk of becoming the corporate media’s hate object of the week. A police department can’t function at 100 percent under those circumstances,” states a Breitbart article by John Nolte.
You also have a problem when people ignore simple rules that will help keep them safe, such as heeding the advice of the police and not wearing expensive jewelry. While some people have paid attention, there are others like Brenda Nolan, a 70-year-old woman who believed she could defend herself against armed robbers because she knows karate. It sounds like she may believe too many of the movies they make in Los Angeles.
Sadly, she and other residents may wind up becoming victims of the criminals believed to be misunderstood and who don’t deserve to be punished.
It is reminiscent of something parents sometimes say about destructive children. It applies to the Democrats in Los Angeles and their soft stance on crime. “They’re the reason we can’t have nice things.”

The rest of the world sees America as the wealthiest nation on the entire planet. But when we take a closer look at the hardships our population is facing, we can rapidly realize that there's a tremendous amount of financial suffering in the United States, and that's getting dramatically worse with each passing year. Today, more money goes towards the pockets of the rich than ever before. Over the past few decades, we've been witnessing the greatest event of wealth transfer in the history of our nation without even realizing it. While billionaire CEOs like Mark Zuckenberg make over a million times more than the average American worker every year, many families out there, whose parents work themselves to the bone every single day, will still struggle to find what to eat and where to sleep with their children tonight. Extreme poverty continues to grow all across the country. According to an analysis released by the University of Chicago, at least 336,000 households with children live on less than two dollars a day. That’s a group known as the ultra-poor. Amid skyrocketing housing and rent prices, at least 600,000 Americans remain in a group known as the “unhoused”. “Right now, we are still trending in the wrong direction,” explained Anthony Love, interim executive director at the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. “When the public is told that one particular policy is going to end homelessness, what they’re expecting is that they’re going to see fewer homeless people around,” added Stephen Eide, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. What they haven’t considered yet is that housing has to come first, Eide stressed. Meanwhile, the gap between the rich and the rest of the population is worsening. On average, the top 1% of earners make 20 times more than the bottom 90% every year. The wealth disparity grows the higher up the ladder we climb. Even the mid-level one-percenters can’t reach the gigantic amounts earned by the ultra-rich. These disparities, make us question whether the US is indeed a rich nation or a nation for the rich. The answer is up to interpretation, but you can have a clearer picture about this issue at the end of this video. Today, we gathered some staggering stats that expose that poverty in the United States is wildly out of control. Here are 25 Facts About The Explosive Growth Of Poverty In America That Will Blow Your Mind. For more info, find us on: https://www.epiceconomist.com/
