Kathy Hochul told her Republican challenger Lee Zeldin, \u201cI don\u2019t know why that\u2019s so important to you.\u201d With murder, rape, and other violence plaguing the Big Apple under Hochul\u2019s tenure, she made clear she does not want to talk about crime.<\/p>\n<p>But the voters headed to the polls to cast their vote for New York\u2019s governor today apparently care. In the Empire State, which has been a Democrat stronghold since the early \u201980s, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/2022\/governor\/ny\/new_york_governor_zeldin_vs_hochul-7749.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">polling<\/a> shows Zeldin has narrowed his once-19-point deficit to just 7 points.

According to the New York Post, the accused perpetrator Adam Bennefield was arrested earlier this year after allegedly beating the same woman, Keaira Bennefield, which was caught on surveillance cameras in her house. The husband was charged with third-degree assault, fourth-degree criminal mischief, second-degree menacing, and second-degree unlawful imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was arraigned in Cheektowaga Town Court on Oct. 4 but was released because state law prevented the judge from setting bail due to the low-level of the charges,\u201d the New York Post reported. Following his release from jail without bail, Bennefield allegedly \u201cambushed [his wife] on a road and gunned her down\u201d while she was taking her children, between the ages of 6 months and 9 years, to school.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>McDonald\u2019s Axe Attacker Arrested Again <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Thirty-one-year-old Michael Palacios was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/new-york-city-man-terrorizes-mcdonalds-customers-axe-wielding-rampage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">arrested<\/a> after witnesses said he wielded an axe at other customers and destroyed property in a McDonald\u2019s in New York City, an ordeal that was caught on video.
