AOC encourages New York City subway fare jumping

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez encouraged toll jumping in the New York City metro system after anti-NYPD protesters swarmed a Brooklyn station and leaped over the turnstiles without paying subway fares.

“Ending mass incarceration means challenging a system that jails the poor to free the rich. Arresting people who can’t afford a $2.75 fare makes no one safer and destabilizes our community,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “New Yorkers know that, they’re not having it, and they’re standing up for each other."

She wants to make everyone spend trillions on her Green New Deal garbage but doesn't think a person should have to pay a measly $2.75 to take a subway ride?

So radical, and yes she is a law maker. This is so ridiculous she should be censored at least. Like the relaxed laws in CA, petty crime is rampant due to a radical Governor pandering to voters. These two have no idea how to govern and make a mockery of justice.

What do I do,I'm 80 years old and can't pay the fare or jump over the pay gate.

I would be in favor of subsidizing a fare card good for one round trip a day from the stop closest to home, to the closest stop near their job.

If you’re making minimum wage, $5.50 a day x 5 is $27.50 a week if you work five days. So yes, help them out.

Otherwise it’s not a matter of being too poor to pay, they just don’t want to.
