NYC professor who threatened Post reporter with a machete avoids jail with wrist-slap therapy plea deal
NY Post ^ | 10/03/2023 | Kevin Sheehan and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

The unhinged Manhattan college professor who threatened to “chop” a Post reporter copped a wrist-slap plea deal in Bronx court on Monday.

Shellyne Rodriguez, 46, will dodge jail time and won’t even have a criminal record if she makes it through as little as six months in therapy under the terms of her sweetheart deal with Bronx prosecutors.

Rodriguez – who was axed from her Hunter College gig hours after the caught-on-video May 23 assault on reporter Reuven Fenton – pleaded guilty to a count of menacing, a misdemeanor, and to a harassment violation.

Her record will be wiped clean if she completes counseling at the Alternative Wellness Collective of Manhattan and stays out of trouble for up to a year, Judge Dan Quart said in Bronx Criminal Court.

No problem, because democrat.

If he were a black conservative, it would not have gone nearly as well for him.

How hard would it be to goad her unhinged ass into doing the same thing again before her diversion is complete and securing a criminal record because of it?

For people contemplating spending the rest of their lives in the this country (the US), please tell me again, how the country is going to survive with a ‘justice’ system operating in this way.

Don’t know the exact law here in Texas, but if you show a gun during an argument, even without touching it, you’re looking at a good 5 years. I assume that threatening and putting a machete to a person’s throat will result in a somewhat stiffer penalty.

If I was that Prof I’d be packing some heat, even if it’s not legal.

She was axed and picked up the wrong weapon! There’s her first mistake.

Self-selection. Conservative states are going to get a lot more crowded.

What?

A black democrat insane professor got off with less than a wrist slap? Color me shocked! /s

Hey Merrick Garland - one more example of a two tiered legal system in the democrat hellhole police state of the former United States. What’s next a sexual weirdo getting off scot free after sexually mutilating children??

Why no weapons charge? Dual standard of justice?

Google: What knives are illegal in NY?

Some knives are not illegal, but become illegal based upon how they are used or possessed. Possession of a dagger, dirk, stiletto, machete, dangerous knife, or razor by anyone with the intent, which may be inferred by possession, to use it unlawfully against another is not allowed.

This is one reason NYC has such a crime problem...there's no consequence from the crime because the DA's office won't enforce the law.

“Self-selection. Conservative states are going to get a lot more crowded.”

While that does buy some time, but did any Republic in the Soviet Union have freedom? Nope, and that’s the point, DC will run things for the red states, whether the red states like it or not, and as the Canadian Truckers learned the hard way, DC (or Ottawa in their case), can bring ANYONE and ANY STATE, to their knees...as they have dozens of options.

I cannot argue with that.

Yesterday Kurt Schlichter wrote of the country splitting up. He said before we do that, we need to oppose the DS with all our might. Sadly, the best he could come up with is conservatives winning elections. He didn’t address the fact that the insane progs have taken over the election machinery and processes.
