NYC Mayor Issues Warning To Subway Vigilante Group

December 31, 2024 Crackpots, New York City

The New York Daily News reports:

Mayor Adams warned Curtis Sliwa and the Guardian Angels to stay in their lane as the volunteer vigilante group said they would resume subway patrols in the wake of a woman who was killed after being set on fire on a Brooklyn F train.

“If Curtis wants to be back down in the subway system, if he sees something, he should say something and he should do something,” Adams said Tuesday. “Don’t overstep your boundaries, like they did a few months ago when they arrested an innocent person. Let the police do their job.”

In February, the group came under fire after members tackled a man in Times Square who they falsely accused of being a shoplifting “migrant.” The bizarre incident was aired live as Fox News’ Sean Hannity was interviewing Sliwa, who directed a live camera to pan to the scuffle.

Read the full article. Sliwa, who ran against Adams for mayor, is best known here for once having faked his own kidnapping. Sliwa blocked me on Twitter when I asked if he’d ever apologized to the transit cops he falsely accused. Sliwa also falsely claimed to have personally thwarted a subway rapist. He currently co-hosts a radio show with disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner.
