Rated T for Teen. Each year, thousands of adults lose their shred. It's an epidemic simply known as shred loss, but it doesn't have to be this way because rekindling your shred is as easy as playing the new Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4. With new parks, cross-platform multiplayer, and sick new game modes,

we can put an end to shred loss everywhere. If the new Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 and show the world that the shred's not dead, get Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 available now. Governor Hockel in serious trouble. She's up in 26, okay? I can't see her being reelected. I just can't.

But anyway, she's finally figured out that thousands of insane people are walking around the streets of New York City. Okay? So now she's proposing that involuntary, what's the word I want to use? here. Commitment, that's the word. Involuntary commitment, be heightened in New York, city and state. So that means if you are a violent loon and you are caught for the authorities hurting someone that you don't get out to do it again. So essentially your due process is suspended because we don't have bail here in New York for most crimes. But this would go in another area, involuntary commitment.

So here's how it would work. Cops grab somebody beating up a little kid or a woman on a subway or wherever. They bring the person in. The person is obviously deranged because the police can see it. Person then goes in cuffs to Bellevue, where he or she is a person. examined by psychiatric personnel. The personnel evaluate the violent loon and give a recommendation, OK?

Committed or free? The recommendation has to be followed for 30 days. So more evaluation can take place. This is how it used to work when I was a kid And when we didn't have all this. But the left doesn't want this. Because they say it's cruel and inhumane to take violent loons off the street

and put them in facilities to be evaluated. They don't want it. They're going to fight against it, which is why we don't have it. Now, they'll cite every debate I hear. Oh, it hasn't worked in the past, involuntary commitment. has not worked. Yeah, it has. Remember when you were a kid. I used to take the train from the Westbury Station into Penn Station, get off the train, go to Times Square, walk around, and then take a subway up to the Yankee game. Okay, I was 12, 13. Would I let my 12, 13 year old do

that now? No way. No. I remember doing it, and I didn't see a lot of loons all over the streets. There were the same percentage of people who were crazy, but they were committed in places like Creedmoor, and they were off the streets. Now, was there abuse? Yeah, there was. And Geraldo uncovered that at Willowbrook on Staten Island. There was abuse, and that's a crime. And those people who abused the criminally insane should be charged with a crime. Absolutely. But you don't throw out the whole system because you have some cases of abuse.

That system should be reimposed. You cannot have thousands, and I mean that literally, of violently damaged people, mentally damaged people, walking around any city, because public safety collapses. And that's what we have. And everybody knows it. There are two sides to it. So 30 years ago, we didn't have it.

Now we have it. because these people are not segregated. They're allowed to do what they do over and over and over and over and over. And Hogle just caught on, just caught on. Oh, we maybe need a new law here. I'll tell you what, we deserve better. We, New Yorkers, deserve better. When mayor, from the governor, from the city council, from the legislature, we're getting screwed on so many levels.
