The Republican Party needs to send Alvin Bragg a fruit basket — and do so every day for the next four years.
The newly sworn-in Manhattan district attorney has just made the largest in-kind contribution to the GOP in modern history in the form of the already-notorious memo he sent to his underlings announcing how his office would handle its caseload.
Simply put, Bragg’s approach is to pretend crime isn’t crime, that criminals aren’t criminals and that punishing people for breaking the law is bad.
Basically, unless someone murders someone else, Bragg is going to try to keep convicted criminals out of jail.
Perhaps I should go into the details of this document or offer some earnest arguments against Bragg’s policy decision to downgrade felonies like armed robbery into misdemeanors — acts his office will then refuse to ask a judge to punish with “carceral” action.
I will forbear, though, because Bragg does not deserve to be engaged in this manner. This is psychotic policy, and you can’t argue psychotics out of psychosis. It is the culmination of decades of bizarre theories that seek to explain away anti-social, harmful and violent behaviors by treating them as though they constitute a rational response to difficult life conditions.
This is looking at civil order through the wrong end of the telescope — one in which the victims of crime appear tiny and insignificant while the problems of those who commit crimes appear larger and more meaningful.
Liberals and leftists fell prey to the same sort of distorted lens view half a century ago when the national crime spike was accelerating. As public safety degenerated, liberal criminologists and judges were arguing rather blithely for more lenient treatment of criminals in general and for the elimination of the death penalty in particular.

Oh, I don’t know. People in NYC vote Dem NO MATTER WHAT, even the live ones!
As I said on another thread … you couldn’t find people this retarded in a bad movie script.
Yes you can..Pick any black dem DA ops mayor in the last 10 years.....They are all the same ...Morons
Stupid NY’ers will always vote leftist.
And I’m tired of the non-stop tennis volley between GOP and Democrat. GOP “benefit” means nothing.
We remain traveling on the same road to woke-socialism we’ve been on since at least FDR.
“… The Republican Party needs to send Alvin Bragg a fruit basket..”
Alvin is a fruit basket.
I have learned much since 911.
I no longer give a rats ass if New York City is attacked.
New York City is doomed to become East Detroit.
Um, nope. We had 20 straight years of Republican rule until DeBlasio.
“We had 20 straight years of Republican rule until DeBlasio.”
You are not counting that man-turd Bloomberg are you?
Hmmm… he’s only the DA for Manhattan, right? Does that mean criminals from the other four boroughs will commute to Manhattan to ply their trade?
