Business owners and residents in New York City are expressing fury at the revelation that prosecutors have dropped looing and rioting charges against hundreds arrested during chaos that swept the city last summer.

After 603 were arrested in Manhattan and the Bronx during the most intense days of looting last June, 295 of the cases have been dropped completely, according to NYPD data reported by WNBC-TV on Friday.

Now Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr and Bronx DA Darcel D. Clark are facing tough questions about why hundreds walked free after the looting rampage caused an estimated tens of millions in damages.

This should tell people very much here, I see a lot between the lines.

Foremost, it tells you that the NYC criminal prosecution is almost solely based upon political winds, not justice. The ‘little’ citizens of NY don’t matter.

Second, it should teach you that the Democrats were behind the looting and riots, the organization of them, and plan on rewarding those people with non-prosecutions.

Third, when you have people caught blatantly destroying and stealing, but your to busy after 5 years of trying to find anything against Trump, your saying you really don’t have much of a case.

New York is becoming a third world country like Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe street vendors. Seems about right.

The brainwashed leftist drones will continue to vote for this insanity no matter how much damage it does to themselves.

All meticulously planned in advance. Soros and other leftists have been buying DA races for years now. ANTIFA couldn't exist without them.
