The good thing is now you can carry a gun and not sweat bail :)
How much are true repeaters and how much is due to lax policing policies instituted under DeBlasio
It’s the NRA’s fault.
Paging Captain Obvious.
Republicans and Giuliani showed NY that if you prosecute the small criminals, they cannot commit the big crimes....and the streets get better.
Democrats and Cuomo showed that if you let the small criminals off with a slap on the wrist, your big crimes increase...and the streets turn to feces.
Here endeth the lesson
Between Cuomo and DeLousio, things can only get worse.
Issuing career criminals get-out-of-jail-free cards. If you wrote a novel based around that you’d never be able to sell it because nobody sane would believe it.
I have several Ultra Liberal co-workers from NYC - they all say everything is fine. The crime reports are overblown by the “right Wing” media to damage NYC. No NYC crime reports on CNN or MSNBC...
I'm curious the number of crimes related to each category, prison releases and the new no-bail nonsense.
I knew there was the potential for elevated crime related to the releases from prison.
I'd like to think people took advantage of that for a good outcome, but reality being what it is, I suspected we'd see some downside too.
Now, there is this angle in defense of Trump. I believe he has only been arranging the release of non-violent criminals. That should not be a cause for a 59.6% increase in shootings.
IMO < anything that makes it look like your going soft on crime is an open invitation for criminals to be emboldened to commit crime.
Police boss:“If you let out individuals that commit a lot of crime, that’s precision policing in reverse and we’re seeing the effects in a very quick time,” Shea said at a press conference last Friday. He decried the undeniable “correlation” between the rise in crime and the jail and prison “populations dropping significantly.”
Some years ago (1980s and 90s) the Dems protested the GOP led mandatory sentencing by judges which replaced the old discretionary minimums and some plea bargaining, mostly put in place by GOP led state legislatures.
Dems refused to acknowledge that significant reductions in crime rates were trending. One chief then said “It’s because the guys who commit many crimes are in prison now.”
Please note that Soros had devoted a fortune to the nominations and campaigns of local district attorneys on the far left side. Chaos in their regions will reign.
A recent story said:Soros has spent on district attorney campaigns in Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas through a network of state-level super PACs and a national “527” unlimited-money group, each named a variation on “Safety and Justice.” (Soros has also funded a federal super PAC
Oh well....Sux2bNYC
This is insanity. I worked in a jail system for 6 weeks early in my career while I was between jobs. After about 2 weeks the distinction between the inmates and the staff began to blur. Some of these prison reform ideas rely on jail administrators to decide who gets released. Ask yourself - why would someone work in the jail system long enough to become an administrator? Better yet, ask Jeffrey Epstein...
Must be due to that NRA extremist de Blasio’s radical liberalization of New York City’s gun laws.
.... or maybe gun crime is a criminal problem rather than a gun problem.
Hey druggies are going to drug and crooks are going to crook, they can't help it, its our fault for not helping. Get used to it the Swedes have accepted that rape is a genuine part of Islamic culture, surely we can learn to accept a little drugging and crooking?
Who’d have thunk it?
Progressivism is anti human life in every way. It is dark and ugly.
