“Nobody, nobody, nobody should do something like that to their family,” Vile told the New York Post.
She then attacked New York City’s watered-down bail reform laws.
“And the worst thing is, even if they catch that person, they’re going to be out,” Vile said.
Then came the harsh words for Mayor Adams, an ex-cop elected on a promise to stop crime in the city, and NYPD chief Keechant Sewell.
“I wish you’d go back to Mayor Adams and tell him the city isn’t safe. My brother just became a statistic heading into town. He was shot point blank.’

Vile, like many New Yorkers, was dissatisfied with the crime prevention work of Adams and New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell
Her husband Glenn put it a little more simply.
‘Do your job. Get crime off the streets.’
Griselda said he should make the city safer so more people don’t have to go through what they are going through.
“I want every New Yorker to realize that tomorrow this could be your reality — your worst nightmare could come true,” she said. “I don’t want this to be an attack on the mayor. I want him to focus on New York as a community.”
She also urged New York City to become more community-minded.
The 48-year-old man was on a northbound Q train pulling into Canal Street station at around 11:42 a.m. when the gunman began firing
“We are five districts trying to look out for each other. We don’t feel safe. I don’t feel comfortable with my daughter taking the train and now I have more reason to be even more scared. Now anyone who knows my brother will be even more scared,” Vile said.
While homicides and shootings are down 11 and three percent from an already criminal 2021 under lame Mayor Bill de Blasio, overall crime in the Big Apple is up 40 percent so far in 2022.
These include a 19 percent increase in crime, a 12 percent increase in rapes and a 42 percent increase in robberies.
Transit is highest at 62 percent, as New Yorkers have witnessed several passengers being pushed onto tracks, as well as a mass shooting on the Brooklyn subway.
