Suspect with 78 priors arrested for 16 new burglaries. NYC: No bail.

Anthony Manson is a serial burglar. During the Christmas shopping season, Manson did his shopping by stealing packages from Brooklyn apartment buildings, helped in no small way by the Andrew Cuomo Criminal Enhancement Act, otherwise known as the new bail reform law.

Manson, 50, was arrested for nine burglaries in Prospect Lefferts-Gardens and Crown Heights on Dec. 23, according to police. He appeared before a judge on Christmas and was released—only to be arrested again for six more burglaries on Jan. 3, police said. Of course, he was released once again, and then decided to visit a Manhattan sunglass store on Wednesday and rip that business off.

So, when Manson went to court, he probably expected that the gig was up. Manson was pleasantly surprised as once again, he walked out of court for the burglary at the Center Stage Optique in the West Village.

Police said that an officer spotted Manson leaving the store at 1:50 a.m. through a broken glass door, while carrying nearly $4,000 worth of sunglasses. In addition, he had a rock—his tool of choice for the burglary—in a suitcase, according to the criminal complaint.“I’m surprised,” Manson said outside of the Manhattan courthouse, after once again receiving an order of supervised release, his third. “I never could make bail before. I always had to take the alternative: a program or jail.”

“I’m poor. I couldn’t afford to pay no bail. I can’t afford to eat,” he said.

Residents in the Prospect Lefferts-Garden building have said that Manson had been suspected of taking packages in their neighborhood for some time. The Daily News obtained surveillance video which shows a person resembling Manson throwing a rock in a bag through a glass door and grabbing an armload of Amazon packages on

A decade ago, two New Yorkers stood at the police
station having both been stabbed, as the perp laughed
on the same steps. They were HORRIFIED.
===> Even then, the LEO did NOTHING.

Now, the word is out, and ‘green light’ is ON,
for the sick criminals to kill, steal, rape
because in NY and SF and other
criminal-protected cities, victims have no more rights.

(unless they target a ‘judges’ or ‘politicians’
family by accident).

78 priors?

Definitely no commitment to law enforcement even before this latest wrinkle about no bail.

A majority of our voters. Which, AFAIK, has never been a majority of NYers.

You got it!

New York is one of the upper levels of hell

The communist rhetoric is sunken so far in deep in that hellhole that I don’t think they have any chance of coming out of it

Turning NY into a shithole. The police will stop arresting people because the judge just releases them to commit more crimes. It is the exact opposite of what Rudy did for NYC 20 years ago and will have the exact opposite effect.

It’s NYC. And the other cities. The population centers The 2016 county map shows NY as a Red State. I plan on leaving. Eventually.

It was already slowly happening. This legalization of crime is going to speed it up.
