The governor of New York wants you to believe that the NYC subway system is far safer than it used to be but we know that’s not the case. And an incident this morning just underscores how just how unsafe they are, especially for the vulnerable.

A woman was sleeping on the subway when a Guatemalan national set her clothing on fire and then watched her burn to death.

At some point nearby cops smelled the smoke and found her, extinguished the flames but by that point it was too late.

Here’s more from the New York Post:

A Guatemalan migrant has been arrested for allegedly lighting a sleeping subway rider on fire in Brooklyn on Sunday morning — then watching as his innocent victim burned to death in what the police commissioner called “one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit.”

The savage killing — which happened at about 7:30 a.m. on an idling F train at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station — shocked commuters, MTA workers and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who said Sunday that the heinous crime “took the life of an innocent New Yorker.”

“As the train pulled into the station, the suspect calmly walked up to the victim, who was in a seated position at the end of a subway car … and used what we believe to be a lighter to ignite the victim’s clothing, which became fully engulfed in a matter of seconds,” Tisch said at a press conference.

Patrolling cops smelled and saw the smoke, then followed it to the flame-covered woman, the commissioner said.

They extinguished the blaze, but the victim died at the scene.

Horrifying video obtained by The Post showed the suspect calmly looking on as flames consumed the still-unidentified woman, who stood inside the open subway car door.

A transit cop walked by, and seemed to pull out a radio and say something as they continued down the platform.

After the cop passed, the suspect got up as if to walk away — then the clip cut off.

In another video, cops yelled to the gathered crowd, “Did anybody see anything? Did anybody see anything?” as smoke poured from inside the subway car.

The suspect brazenly sat on a nearby bench as cops huddled around, pulling his hood up at one point just before an officer spoke to him.

“Do me a favor? Walk down there,” the cop said, motioning down the platform with his radio. “I need this space cleared up.”

The man stood up, then left the scene.

“Unbeknownst to the officers who responded, the suspect had stayed on the scene and was seated on a bench on the platform just outside the train car,” Tisch said.

“The body-worn cameras on the responding officers produced a very clear, detailed look at the killer.”

Later in day, three high schoolers called police to say they saw the man pictured in images released by the NYPD at the Jay and York Street station on the F line, according to Tisch and the NYPD’s Chief of Transit, Joseph Gulotta.

When transit officers responded to that call, they found the suspect already on another train leaving the station — and wearing the same gray hoodie, wool hat and paint-splattered pants he’d been wearing when he allegedly torched the woman.

Cops called ahead and halted the train at Herald Square. Then, they went from car to car until they found the suspect and arrested him, police officials said.

Tisch said the suspect had a lighter in his pocket when he was picked up.

I don’t know what evil possesses someone to do something like this and honestly, I don’t want to know. This is such a horrific and unspeakable crime that, in my opinion, someone like this doesn’t deserve to breath the same air we breath. The death penalty was made for people like this and it’s a shame New York doesn’t have it.

And if I were a betting man I’d put good money on this Guatemalan national being another illegal Joe and Kamala let across the southern border during their four years. This is exactly why Trump is so adamant that we need to deport these illegals, especially the threats to public safety and national security. This is why it must happen.
