New Yorkers have had it with crime plaguing the Big Apple following prostitutes allegedly asking children to hand out business cards and a taxi cab driver getting mercilessly beaten.

Denizens of the city that never sleeps are speaking out about skyrocketing crime and they are less than thrilled with Mayor Eric Adams.

Following sex workers being given health care by Governor Hochul, it is being reported that kids are being enlisted by hookers in Queens to hand out their pornographic business cards to potential Johns. Both officials and organizations have expressed concern over a street in Corona that is advertised as an open-air sex market on YouTube by a Spanish channel that refers to it as the “Market of Sweethearts” and instructs viewers on how to negotiate with sex workers.

According to the New York Post, almost a dozen brothels have set up shop along Roosevelt Avenue. Prostitutes ply their wares as kids, shoppers, and shop owners try to ignore them. The hookers brazenly stand outside dentist shops, massage parlors, and pool halls according to parents who spoke with the New York Post.

“I’ve lived here my entire life and I’ve never seen it get to this point,” City Councilman Francisco Moya (D-Corona) commented.

“How do they have this f***ing going on in broad daylight?” a police source said to the New York Post. “They’re not allowed to arrest prostitutes anymore, supposedly. But they gotta figure something out.”

Fox News reported, “A spokesperson for the DCPI told Fox News Digital that the NYPD has ‘proactively shifted’ the work of vice enforcement in the last several years to focus primarily on people who purchase or promote the sales of sex rather than the prostitutes themselves.”

“We have significantly reduced the number of arrests for prostitution itself as we work in every case to connect the victims of human trafficking with the services they need,” a spokesperson said, justifying the change in focus. “We have also worked to proactively deter individual buyers of sex. Yet prostitution in all forms remains prohibited by law. The NYPD deploys where crime is reported – in response to community complaints – and we enforce the law impartially.”

How messed up is New York Governor Kathy Hochul? She just announced that she is giving millions of dollars to fund abortions for “sex workers”. That’s right, she is making life easier for the pimps and sex trafficker’s who abuse women and children. It’s sickening.

The problem is only getting worse thanks to progressive woke policies.

“You’re looking at prostitutes being in a hub area,” law enforcement told the New York Post. “So, your children are right there. It’s not fair to the people who live there.”

The executive director of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, Taina Bien-Aime, is warning authorities that trafficking cartels from Central America and Mexico are shipping women into Queens and Brooklyn. They are actively taking advantage of the surge of illegal immigrants into New York City.

“I spoke to a young girl in Sunset Park [Brooklyn]. She said she’s seen vans at night picking up women from the shelters that house these new immigrants,” Bien-Aime recounted, according to Fox News.

Then there is good old-fashioned barbarity on the Big Apple’s streets to go along with the immorality.

Afzal Butt, 60, a New York City cab driver, was shockingly beaten and put in the hospital by a mob who pounded him in broad daylight while New Yorkers looked on. No one stepped in to help.

The New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers (NYSFTD) shared footage of the vicious incident with two men and three women descending on Butt like a rabid pack of hyenas in Midtown Manhattan.

The cab driver tried to cover his face to protect himself while he was punched, kicked, and dragged. He was hit in the head and kicked in the chest as he was knocked against his vehicle. The man could have easily been killed.

He was taken to the hospital in stable condition. Two of the five suspects were arrested at the crime scene: 51-year-old Natalie Morgan and 35-year-old Howard Colley.

It all started when someone attempted to hail a taxi at Sixth Avenue and West 34th Street according to Butt. One of the men accused the driver of nearly running the group down with his cab.

“They started messing with me … Started hitting my car, breaking my side mirror … and they threw food inside my car, all over my clothes, my body. My car was littered with the food,” Butt told CBS New York.

In 2022, a 52-year-old New York cab driver named Kutin Gyimah was beaten to death by his passengers who wouldn’t pay the fare.

“We must catch these young thugs and lock them up. This elderly driver did not deserve this brutal beating. Assaults, stabbings, shootings, and robberies must stop,” NYSFTD spokesperson Fernando Mateo said in a statement, railing over the attack against Butt.

Taxi and Limousine Commission spokesperson Jason Kersten declared that the violence was “totally unacceptable and illegal.”

Adams keeps downplaying the spiraling crime in the city, blaming everyone from residents to the media.

A Siena College poll reported that 41% of New York State residents have “never” been as concerned about their personal safety as they are now. A stunning 87% responded that crime is a very or somewhat serious problem in New York State and New York City.
