NY’s parole-reform law — backed by Mamdani — allows 85% of ex-cons who commit new crimes to roam free
NY Post ^ | 9/14/25 | Gabrielle Fahmy, Tina Moore

Posted on 09/14/2025 5:30:45 AM PDT by Libloather

The monster who admitted to killing, molesting and burning an elderly Queens couple was roaming the streets because of a little-known change to the state parole law championed by mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

Jamel McGriff, an ex-con sex offender on parole, failed to register his address this summer — a violation that would have landed him back in the slammer three years ago.

But “Less Is More” parole reforms enacted in 2022 allowed him to stay free.

The legislation keeps parolees out of the clink while a lengthy court process plays out to determine their guilt or innocence on the new charges, and also created a three-strike policy giving them a pass on their first two violations.

The measure passed two years after Albany enacted the equally disastrous bail reform laws, which are now blamed for the revolving door of justice that lets career criminals back on the streets. But it did not grab the attention of the public and media that bail reform did.

The parole bill was authored by lefty Phara Souffrant Forrest, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, and co-sponsored by her socialist comrade, Assemblyman and mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, and dozens of others.

“Our system is built for life-long punishment, not rehabilitation,” Mamdani said at the time. “Less is More is a vital step towards ensuring that when our neighbors return home from prison, they can stay at home. I’m proud to be part of the passage of this bill.”

Mamdani did not return messages from The Post asking him to explain his position on parole reform — or about this week’s horrific Queens murder.

The public may want Law and Order. But Mamdani doesn’t.

““Less is More is a vital step towards ensuring that when our neighbors return home from prison, they can stay at home. I’m proud to be part of the passage of this bill.””

If I have a neighbor that returns home from prison heaven forbid and he commits another crime would I want him freely roaming my neighborhood?

I don’t see how any of his constituents except con’s and ex-con’s could support this.

It’s part of a Democrat strategy.

The criminals are the brown shirts

Let them out to steal, rape, and murder the taxpayers and anyone who may possibly oppose your communist agenda.

They move away and Whats left?

Those that can’t escape and you wind up with Detroit.

Then, you control one major city in a state you can steal elections. You can steal the presidency.

Why did Soros want to give millions to elect D. A.s?

To do precisely the above.

If you question the late arriving (a Ferrari at 2 am in one case when Xiden was installed) then, because it’s a 90% black city, you are … racist.

Philly = gives them Pennsylvania.

Detroit = gives them Michigan.

Chicago = gives them Illinois.

Etc etc.

Rinse and repeat. All by design.

The gholes and Bimbos of MSNBC will soon be praising the 'law' that allowed this monster to walk the streets looking for fresh victims. Lots of sickos on the left...

You can say crime is way down when you never convict anyone.

It’s all okay as long as the enablers are the first to have their wives and children raped, their cars stolen, homes broken into, and their dogs eaten...

I was a probation officer for 45 years in a very small county. New people to the area would be aghast that their sons would go to jail like they were told. They quickly learned to straighten up. Our courts didn’t mess around. The good citizens appreciated the tough courts. I often have men approach me with thanks for making them get their lives in order.

You can thank the most successful RACIST, WHITE SUPREMACIST of all time, Lyndon Baines Johnson and his RACIST, WHITE SUPREMACIST democrat henchmen in congress for this situation.

The Black community was on the road to recovery from what the RACIST, WHITE SUPREMACIST democrats had done to them in Oklahoma and elsewhere.

Johnson forced the fathers out of families and paid a bounty for every out of wedlock baby a mother had.

This created generations of feral boys and men, first mostly in Black communities, but now also in white ones as white girls figured it out and got in on the act.

With "Uncle Sugar" paying (taxpayers) democrats buy votes, not caring what they do to families and the country. To them, power is everything, "the ends justify the means".

In addition to changing how welfare works, we must change how reading is taught.

If this muzzie pig gets elected it’s going to be a tough life for young “white girls” with all those butchers out there riding the trains.

FTA——NY mayoral wannabe Mamdani did not return messages from The NY Post asking
him to explain his position on parole reform-——allowing criminals to roam free to kill.

Mamdani did not want to go on record about parole reform -——or about this week’s horrific
subway murder-—— by a killer nabbed 14-times and let go by the “reformed” justice system.

If Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor, I predict that President Trump will have no choice but to deploy the National Guard to NYC.

I don't like it but we have no other option. We know that it is a intentional strategy by the Democrats to destroy every large city in the U.S.

You've been warned, NY City. Vote accordingly.

If Mamdani is elected, you have no one but yourself to blame.

BTW, your tax base is already fleeing the city:

LOL!! They already do roam free. Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul have closed 24 prisons in the State, with Hochul wanting to close six more this year.
