Queens District Attorney-elect Melinda Katz announced Tuesday she will go softer on criminal defendants when she takes over as the borough’s chief prosecutor on Jan. 1.

Katz said she will make it easier for criminal defendants to have their cases heard by a grand jury within five days of an arrest, without losing their right to plea bargain.

NYC gets worse and worse and worse every single day. Social mores are crumbling as fast as the commiecraps can tear them down. Those internalized inhibitions and sense of right and wrong are being skewed and minimized with each succeeding breath of these morally bereft pieces of garbage. It won't take long until the city is simply overrun with illegals and criminals taking over. They already have a mayor and a governor leading the way.

So glad I left!

Take them home with you...cook for them...let them meet your family Melinda. Maybe Bloomberg can give them a job making robocalls. All they need is somebody to give them a helping hand.

Another Soros sponsored DA?

Whether she is or is not it certainly is the message from the DAs he funded.

Don’t forget, a lot of felons have had their voting rights restored, so the elected representatives have to start considering what will get their votes.

It must be something in the water or maybe the food that would explain the gross stupidity of NYC types.

You mean the same Jews that overwhelmingly vote people like her into office?

"Katz said she will make it easier for criminal defendants to have their cases heard by a grand jury within five days of an arrest, without losing their right to plea bargain."

If a case has strong evidence and is likely to result in a conviction, no bargain. If a case is weak, and there's a lot of uncertainty about a conviction maybe a plea bargain is the best decision.

They tried that already when Dinkins was mayor.
It didn’t work then either.

Was she was inspired by Trump’s “First Step” program, which releases hundreds of “non-violent” federal prisoners every month?

The Left has made a conscious decision to try and make a society where there are no rules and one cannot be held accountable for their actions.

LA and Dallas have DAs that will not prosecute thefts if they’re under a certain amount. $750 in Dallas. $900 in LA. Crime is starting to creep up. Whether this is because the Left is certifiably insane, Soros is pushing these DAs to disrupt life to a point that very extreme measures have to be taken, or a combination thereof, we are headed down a very dangerous path.

Three DAs were recently voted out, in NoVa. The replacements were all Bloomberg and Soros supported. The incumbents have been warning what is coming. This, in an area of the country that has seen steady increases in gang related crime, associated with the very immigration that was used to turn Virginia, BLUE.

It’s going to happen, more and more across the country. And a disarmed citizenry, which is what they want, will be unable to do anything about it.

My comment isn’t about guns, as much as it is about paying attention to who you are voting for, who our elected officials are selling us out to, and immigration, in all its forms. And I mean, not only illegal aliens coming in, legal immigrants, refugees, I’m also talking about all the Liberals that are spreading out, all over the country chasing jobs. Jobs they could have got in the place they’ve come from, but they’ve made it so unliveable that the companies move, they move with it and then ruin the next place.

The Left, gets their votes from a few demo’s. The poor that are on some type of assistance. College kids who think socialism is great until they start working, realize that taxes suck, they can’t pay their loans and they hear Bernies, et al talking about forgiving all loans. Rich white liberals that live in upscale, liberal areas that are some of the whitest places on the planet.

If they keep on supporting these folks, and they will, pretty soon that “soft on crime” approach is going to come knocking on their doorstep.

Their arrogance, true indifference and elitism is going to boomerang on them. They are very kind, caring and compassionate in words, only. They aren’t digging into their pockets to support much and they for damned sure aren’t going to welcome many folks into their homes.
