The system has COLLAPSED.
American cities are now lawless wastelands—where criminals roam free and the innocent suffer.
A man and woman were knocked out cold by THUGS in Cincinnati.
A mass shooting just rocked Manhattan in broad daylight.
Bill O’Reilly has a theory why this is allowed to happen.
The justice system isn’t broken by accident. It’s broken ON PURPOSE.
🧵 THREAD
By now, most of us have seen it.
It is the kind of video that makes your stomach turn.
A man and woman were BRUTALLY assaulted in the middle of downtown Cincinnati after a jazz festival by a gang of rabid THUGS.
The man was left motionless on the pavement. The woman’s head hit the concrete with such force she was knocked unconscious.
No one intervened. No police. No help.
Just a growing crowd and more violence.
The footage went viral.
Not just because of brutality, but because it captured something much deeper: the complete and TOTAL unraveling of public safety in American cities.
A sense that the ground has shifted.
This video is a symbol for America’s Mad Max era.
Vice President JD Vance saw the same video.
And unlike most politicians, he didn’t retreat behind vague statements or legalese.
He UNLEASHED on the thugs.
“What I saw was a mob of lawless thugs beating up on an innocent person, and it's disgusting,” he said.
“I hope every single one of those people who engage in violence is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
That word—“mob”—matters.
Because this wasn’t one person lashing out. It was a group.
Vance kept going.
“You had a grown man who sucker punched a middle-aged woman,” he continued.
“That person ought to go to jail for a very long time, and frankly he's lucky there weren't some better people around because they would have handled it themselves.”
That was a cultural alarm bell.
A warning that we are inching closer to a place where justice is no longer administered by the courts—but by desperate citizens who feel abandoned by them.
“We’ve had WAY TOO MUCH lawlessness,” Vance added.
“We’ve got to make great American cities safe again for families and children.”
His solution was clear: “The only way to destroy that street violence is to take the thugs who engage in that violence and throw their asses in prison.”

Hours after the VP spoke in Ohio, Fox News host Will Cain brought on Ken Kober, the president of Cincinnati’s Fraternal Order of Police.
Cain didn’t hold back.
“This is intolerable,” he told Kober.
“It doesn't belong on any American street. It honestly does not belong in any civilized society.”
Kober agreed...and pointed straight to the problem: the justice system and progressive policies destroying the city.
“Cincinnati and Hamilton County is really at a crossroads: what kind of city and county do we want to be?”
That’s not a rhetorical question.
According to Kober, the courts are split right down the middle...some enforcing the law, others undermining it.
“Right now you have about half the judges that support law and order and then you have half of them that just don’t. Cashless bail, soft on crime. And this is the result of that.”
“These people fear no consequences,” he said.
“And until that changes unfortunately we’re going to see more things like this.”
Then came the line that stuck.
“These people clearly have no morals. They don't care about themselves. They don't care about others. And… we saw the worst that Cincinnati has to offer that morning.”
That same evening, another tragedy in another American city.
This time it was New York City.
A 27-year-old man from Las Vegas, Shane Tamura, entered a Midtown skyscraper with an M4 rifle and opened fire.
He killed four people before turning the gun on himself.
One of the victims was a father of two: NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, working security inside the building.
He was only 36.
Heartbreaking.
According to reports, Tamura began shooting in the lobby near 52nd and Park, moved to an upper floor, and continued firing before ending his life on the 33rd floor.
Another senseless massacre in lawless urban America.
Not surprisingly, the press scrambled to frame it all through the usual lens—mental health, lone shooter, another “unfortunate” event.
But Bill O’Reilly, a longtime New Yorker, didn’t follow the script.
He said the quiet part out loud: “The SYSTEM has COLLAPSED,”
He wasn’t just talking about one man with a gun.
He was talking about a cultural shift...one that’s made crime feel normal in big cities and justice feel like a coin toss.
“In New York City, there's a great fear on the part of many people and that is because of the rise of social disorder,” O’Reilly said.
“We’ve seen it in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Baltimore. But in New York City… people are very uneasy.”
Why?
“The system has collapsed. The justice system.”
O’Reilly credited NYPD for keeping crime stats from spiraling even further...but made clear that the courts are undoing their work.
“The police do a tremendous job… Not because of the courts, which kick out people, as everybody knows, with no bail who are violent.”
And he wasn’t convinced the numbers reflect the full picture.
“A lot of the crimes are not reported. So I don't know how accurate the crime stats are.”
What he did know was how people felt.
“I live 8 miles outside of the Queens border. And when I have to go into New York City… I always ask: ‘Hey, how do you feel about going to work? How do you feel about going on a subway, the buses? How about your kids?’”
“100% are VERY, very uneasy.”
“And it’s not hard to figure out why it’s happening.”
That’s not data. That’s dread. And it’s creeping in everywhere.
Then O’Reilly dropped the hammer.
He was about to say what most politicians won’t.
This wasn’t just a leadership failure. It was willful neglect.
They caused this and they are REFUSING to fix it on purpose.
“But again, the commonality is, that the people in charge don't really care,” he said.
“They're not trying to solve the problem.”
He called out New York Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul by name.
“They don’t try to solve the problem. They don’t.”
“And the legislature is INSANELY left wing.”
Once that kind of political environment takes hold, he warned, there’s no quick fix.
“So once you have a culture of violence—which you do have in New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, LA, San Francisco—you have a culture of violence. Anything can happen at any time.”
