New Yorkers are also learning that “low-level” and “nonviolent” offenders feel no obligation to remain as such going forward. A man arrested for attempted rape last week in Brooklyn previously had been in jail on burglary charges and $20,000 bail. He was sprung in December in anticipation of the new policy. A man on Long Island with a history of drunken-driving convictions was arrested twice and released both times without bail inside of a two-week period—and the second time was after a crash that killed someone.
Of course, these problems aren’t limited to New York. But in recent years, and especially in states and cities led by political progressives, “criminal-justice reform” has come to mean little more than going easier on criminals. In California, stealing goods valued at less than $950 is now considered a misdemeanor rather than a felony and is likely to result in no punishment. In San Francisco, where a new mayor just ended cash bail, residents have been complaining about a recent spike in car break-ins in Safeway parking lots.
Unfortunately, the “vast majority of car break-in thieves will never see any kind of punishment in San Francisco,” according to a report last week in the San Francisco Chronicle. One man told the reporter about buying groceries at a local Safeway with his daughter. When he got back to his car and began backing out of his parking space, another car cut him off. “Somebody leaped out of the other car, smashed his rear window and grabbed his daughter’s backpack, and the car sped off,” said the paper. “Yes, San Francisco thieves are now breaking into cars with people inside them.”

Trump and his son-in-law jumped on this bandwagon too. It is a big mistake.
And what about the mentally ill we can’t get help with because their civil rights prevail over public safety?
Evil empires throughout history have used this tactic of releasing criminals to terrorize the citizens. Even Paul experienced this in the Bible.
Anarcho-tyranny is the term you’re looking for that describes that. It has been in play here for quite some time.
Thanks. That term is very apt and it’s important that people know that. Unfortunately everyone gets lost in the confusion and shock during the moment.
“Anarcho-tyranny is a concept, where the state is argued to be more interested in controlling citizens so that they do not oppose the managerial class (tyranny) rather than controlling real criminals (causing anarchy). Laws are argued to be enforced only selectively, depending on what is perceived to be beneficial for the ruling elite.”

“We refuse to control real criminals (that’s the anarchy), so we control the innocent (that’s the tyranny).”
— Samuel Francis, paleoconservative writer, 1992

“To have freedom on a stable political basis, you have to have a homogeneous culture and society, composed of people who share the same values and beliefs. If they don’t share them, you can hold them together only by force.”

Pence is also along for the ride.
Pence was Master of Ceremonies for Trump's “First Step” White House announcement last year.
Since most of the Black and Hispanic criminals will return to their old neighborhoods, it's hard to believe that their law abiding neighbors can enthusiastically support this jail break, either.

My thought exactly. You beat me too it.
We need more hangings.
They need to be done in public or there is no deterrent.
Just the usual free-lance Socialists, practicing their redistributionist acts with the blessing of newly elected professional Socialist elected officials. Bernie and his ilk would take this phenomenon nationwide.
