When a subway surveillance video shows what appears to be someone getting abducted, the NYPD doesn’t wait for a victim to come forward before investigating.

I can’t imagine under any other circumstances the left making a big deal out of how long it took someone to file a report as an excuse to blame the victim.

When it was Anita whatshername and her never-reported allegations of sexual harassment against Clarence Thomas the “I believe Anita” crowd didn’t let that fact get in the way of making her a heroine.

Everyone knows what Mr Carmago did. The police do not need anyone's permission to arrest him. What are they waiting for? They don't need to put him in prison for years to send a message that violence at protests is totally unacceptable. They are actually making their own jobs a lot harder. Chants is right.
