Reply to Teen violence spiraling out of control in NYC, Eric Adams and NYPD warn by someone_whoisthat
I understand the NYPost having a trashy clickbait title, but why does this post have one? The article itself walks back the title by saying that teen violence was significantly worse a couple of years ago and is actually trending positively coming out of 2022.
Downvoting for misleading title and fearmongering.

Well the original commenter I was responding to had a great insight, which was that even if the person used psychedelics it would be difficult to compare their experience to my experience and even know if they are similar enough to be useful in a therapy setting.
In essence, if everyone's experience is so different anyway, why not just look for someone who has opened their mind to the experience and maybe studied it or worked closely with other people who have. A mind open to possibility and understanding could be more in line with what I would want, rather than a mind that deals in absolutes like "there is literally no way anyone can know what the juice tastes like..."
I see what you are saying though. Psychedelics are hard to imagine without having tried them.

Heard, I could see how some people might know how the juice tastes without ever having to peel the fruit.

"If passed, New Yorkers wouldn’t lose professional licenses, public assistance, or access to mental health and behavioral health services simply for using psychedelics."
I only want a therapist who has done psychedelics. Why give someone the keys to my mind if they've never even tried to explore their own?

TL;DR I've made sweeping generalizations that drug users are just weak people who don't know as much as me.

Haha, I mean there are plenty of shelters also available to that person. Some times people do choose not to go to shelters because they have a lot of requirements (no drugs/alcohol, set bedtime, other ppl around, etc.). I hope they are alright

It takes one second to google that he has since continued to build it.

Im not sure why you think we are getting overwhelmed. The problem is not space, there is plenty of space in a city of millions to accept 14,000. There are also nearly 90,000 apartments being left vacant by landlords because they dont want to bring the buildings up to code. Source
These people are welcome to find a better life like we and our ancestors did.

First of all the other person was making a point that its "Randalls" Island. Second, I agree that there are a lot of immigrants in NYC and its weird that these people are being sent there while others are not but its because that is our system for granting asylum. If you apply for asylum you are given shelter and social support by the state/city. That is also why its so expensive to accept these migrants, although its clear that we should. The other immigrants here likely didnt go through the asylum process. For now, thats how it is whether we/they like it or not.

Also, the Biden administration is closing up the gaping holes in the wall that the previous guy couldn't even get built correctly. So idk why "nothing is being done" is still being thrown around by these dunces

What is there not to understand? It is.

Non-Post article mentions that (Dem?) Mayor Leeser was coordinating with officials in NYC and Chicago and making sure the migrants who were signing up for the buses knew where they were going and chose to do so, and also had people ready to help them at their destination. This was in direct contrast to the migrants who were just shuffled onto buses by Gov. Abbott.
Looks like there is a humane way to treat migrants.

Ah true. Well there should be a flair for misleading title or just straight up "NYPost, take with a bucket of salt"
