‘Iryna’s Law’ and the Bad Judges Who Make It Necessary
2nd December 2025
What will it take to get crime under control in our subways and public transit systems?
On Monday, news broke of another passenger set on fire in New York City’s subway — though this story wasn’t all it seemed.
The homeless man who at first said he was the victim of an attack turned tight-lipped when police pressed him about what happened.
Had he set his own clothes ablaze to attract attention?
In the wild environment our subways have become, a malicious attack or a madman’s self-inflicted injury are both all too believable.
