Suspect in brutal mugging of elderly woman caught on video released under new bail law
NY Post ^ | 02.01.20 | Larry Celona and Ruth Weissmann

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.

The victim is so petite compared to her attacker, that she stands only as high as his chest as he grabs at her scarf.

When the woman, who was walking with a cane, turns to escape his grasp, the thief puts his arms around her neck and drags her to the ground, the video shows.

The brave woman struggles on the pavement and waves her cane as she tries to fight off the fiend, who soon yanks her purse from around her neck and leaves her on the ground.

“She was a tough old woman who didn’t want to give it up,” a law enforcement source told The Post of the victim and her precious purse.

Hopefully while the leaders on the left pander to the criminal element, the normal folks rebel against it in the next election.

Two thoughts and I paraphrase

1 about her - She would not give up - or a Buster Scruggs would say - when the good lord was passing out “give up” she didn’t get none.

2 about the perp- I miss Tony Soprano.

only attacking a “judge” or DNC politician
will result in bail requirements (and jailing).

for all others, release is now mandatory
with a info AND permit to enter the victims’ homes
to threaten, rape and kill them
(and their families) at will.

Vigilantes love this new bail law.

It creates a target rich environment.

He is one of them. There are many others. They need to be driven from NY so hard, there is no future left for them except cleaning out stables.

In a nut shell, cuomo said that we’ll have to wait and see if this law works or not...and then maybe changes to it can be made.

Upstate some Repubs are starting to fight against it. In one month it has done a lot of damage.

Yes it’s done damage. It reminds me of Pelosi we have to approve heath care act before we read it. One guy took off his bracelet and disappeared. All they had to do was put wording in like NJ had giving the judge discretion.
