I hear ya.
The big problem was local DAs saying they would not prosecute non-felony crimes.
Now businesses, homes, and the public are exposed to people who can steal from them, and not have to spend a single night in jail.
time for vigilantism......Is there no more mafia left in NY?
Couldn’t the Mets use this guy?
Who is known to the police.
Liberals: It was just women
This is the case in any “sanctuary city”, state, etc. - happening here in NJ as well. Not just because of the “bail reform” (which has also lowered our quality of life), but because of what it says about these states’ abilities to manage prison systems/jails: The states are broke, and can’t provide three hots and a cot to its unassimilated permanent underclass anymore.
At least the optics look good; no more “mass incarceration of blacks”...
While it may seem counterintuitive on the surface, many totalitarians view anarchy as a means to an end. The descent into chaos will inevitably create a clamor for order, creating a groundswell of support for a strongman dictator or cabal that promises to bring order if they are just given the tools to do so.
Sadly, there is no shortage of useful idiots for whom anarchy is the desired end state and will unwittingly provide all the chaos needed for the budding tyrants to make their case.
You are correct...this is Communism 101, although it is a common strategy used by budding strongmen of many different ideological flavors because it generally works. The sad thing is so many fall for it regardless of how obvious a ploy it has become.
Serial robbery suspect freed with no bail — then allegedly robs another bank
A serial robber who allegedly knocked over four banks in less than two weeks was released without bail on grand larceny charges Thursday — and is now suspected of robbing a fifth bank on Friday, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
“I can’t believe they let me out,” sources said he boasted as he retrieved his vouchered property at One Police Plaza. “What were they thinking?”
The suspect, 42-year-old Gerod Woodberry, went on the mini bank-robbing spree starting on Dec. 30, when he slipped a teller a robbery note at a Midtown bank and escaped with more than $1,000, the sources said.
He struck again in Harlem on Jan. 3, again handing a teller a robbery note, but didn’t get any cash in that caper.
In the West Village on Jan. 6, he escaped with more than $1,000 again, in another robbery, the sources said. Two days later, he passed another note to a teller on the Upper West Side, but again left empty-handed.
He was arrested by patrol cops in Manhattan on Thursday — but released without bail for the robbery spree.
Woodberry is now wanted for another bank robbery on Friday in Downtown Brooklyn, law-enforcement sources said.
In the heist, he allegedly passed a teller a note and made off with more than $1,000.
