Two brutes accused of randomly pummeling an 82-year-old woman on a Bronx street have been released without bail — even though the violent pair has a combined 18 prior arrests, The Post has learned.

William Ballinger and Tammie Moore — both of whom have lengthy rap sheets — were busted by cops last week and charged with second-and third-degree assault for the vicious Aug. 2 attack on the elderly home health aide in Olinville, police said.

Prosecutors asked that each of the 32-year-old defendants be held on $30,000 cash bail or $90,000 bond during their arraignments in Bronx Criminal Court on Thursday and Friday, the District Attorney’s Office said.

But the judges — Eugene Bowen for Ballinger and Craig Ortner for Moore — decided to cut the suspects loose on supervised release, the DA’s Office said.

All I can think of is that New York voters had a choice to vote for tough on crime politicians and prosecutors and didn’t.

Yep, but then most New Yorker’s probably prefer a lenient judge.

Unfortunately the prosecutors did ask for high bail but the filthy judges let them go.

Yet in Britain, white men are in prison for saying mean things online.

In the U.S., conservatives are in prison for peacefully entering a building.

Both “judges” have a history of this type of unjustified leniency.

“Democracy” democrat style in action. 50% plus 1 yields this filth. It’s what New Yorkers want.

KEEP VOTING DEMOCRAP YOU FOOLS!

Why didn’t someone draw their personal weapon and shoot their butts off?

The judge...

[lodi90]

Those “judges” would never breezily give out get out of jail cards if it was officers of the court being assaulted. Guaranteed.

Black on white attack?

[ByteMercenary]

My first thought was something like that ... were any of the old lady’s relatives outside waiting for the perps? Nothing violent mind you, just a little surveillance to find out where they lived. The big surprise comes a bit later ...
