    Not one lick. I knew as soon as Adams started playing that whole ‘tough on crime’ angle, that he’d Tom out for the Fraternal Orders. This is what happens when you tapdance for the settlers. More ‘criminals’, more recidivism, no rehabilitation. Adams has the blood of his own people on his hands; and I for one hope it tortures him at night when he lays his head down and tries to sleep.

      This is exactly what these communities voted for. Eric Adams. He had 63% of the “non Hispanic black” vote. All the districts with the largest black populations voted for him by wide margins.

      He did exactly what he promised and what he was voted to do in this case. I hate Eric Adams as much as anyone, and these injustices were obviously going to be the result of his campaign promises. I have no clue why people he would victimize would vote for him.

      (Just adding for non NYers, the stats are about the primary elections, not general)
