Suspect in brutal mugging of elderly woman caught on video released under new bail law

Not even this brutal, caught-on-video mugging — in which a struggling 83-year-old woman was dragged to the ground, and her purse wrenched away — is enough to get a suspect locked up these days under the state’s new bail reform law.

Exclusive video obtained by The Post allegedly shows 56-year-old Dana White, of Jamaica, Queens, walking up behind the victim in front of a building on Eldridge St. on the Lower East Side at about 5:45 a.m. Monday.

White was arrested shortly after the coldhearted attack and charged with robbery — but was released without bail by the new legislation, which restricts bail for most low-level crimes.

This will eventually lead to vigilantes. Maybe even a “Magnum Force.”

Not a good way for a society to operate.

“White was arrested shortly after the coldhearted attack and charged with robbery — but was released without bail”

Why not also charged with elder abuse?

It’s only a matter of time - society won’t stand for this type of abuse. Funny how country people figure that out long before the city folks.

To me it looks with 3rd degree robbery with assault. The assault should be considered 2nd degree because it was committed during, and instrumental to another felony, the robbery.

2nd degree assault is an offense to which bail can be applied. But I probably don’t read the law like a NY judge or lawmaker.

I would be happy to let this bastard out without posting bail if it was directly back to Jamaica. In the back of a cargo plane where someone could tattoo “No re-admittance” on his forehead.

"White has at least 14 previous arrests, including at least 6 robbery charges and charges for criminal possession of a weapon, trespassing, and assault, sources said."

And they talk about White privilige.

Yeah, I know his name is White but you know what I mean...
