The Guardian Angels are back in force, patrolling New York City’s subways after a chilling incident last week—a woman was burned alive while sleeping on an F train at Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue. The brutality of this crime has sent shockwaves through the city, pushing many to demand stronger safety measures.

The suspect, 39-year-old Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, an illegal migrant from Guatemala, has been arrested for the unprovoked murder. The horror of this attack underscores the dire need for increased security on public transportation and a tougher stance on crime in the city. People are fed up, and they want action now.

Curtis Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels, has spoken out, drawing a grim comparison to the days when his group was first formed in 1979 to tackle subway violence. He believes subway safety has regressed to the crisis levels that led to the founding of the Guardian Angels. With 150 members, the group is once again stepping up—patrolling trains, assisting the homeless and mentally ill, handing out water, and reporting issues to the NYPD. Essentially, they’re filling the gap that many feel local authorities have failed to address.

The return of the Guardian Angels highlights a widespread frustration with what many view as the city’s inaction on rising crime. Their presence in the subways is an attempt to restore safety and security for commuters, offering a visible deterrent to would-be criminals. Their efforts reflect the power of community-driven solutions to the growing concerns about public safety.
