The madman who allegedly killed two people during a stabbing spree in Manhattan had just recently been released from prison, it has been revealed.
Ramon Rivera, 51, was released from Rikers Island on October 17 after being arrested on charges of burglary in the third-degree and assault in the third-degree on February 19, PIX 11 reports.
Police accused him at the time of being responsible for a pattern of burglaries throughout Manhattan, dating back to December 2023, when a thief smashed glass doors and windows of bodegas and smoke shops to steal thousands of dollars worth of cigarettes, vapes and lighters, according to the New York Post.
Rivera ultimately pleaded guilty to the charges in August and was sentenced to nearly a year in prison, but was let out after eight months of time served.
But the day he was released, Rivera was arrested again on grand larceny charges, with prosecutors saying he stole a nearly $1,500 acrylic bowl from a Jonathan Adler shop in Tribeca in December 2023.
Manhattan prosecutors pushed for bail, but a judge ordered him released under supervision.
The release perplexed New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who said police will look into how a career criminal with a history of mental illness was allowed to walk free.
'We are still looking over his record, but there's a real question on why he was on the street,' the mayor said Monday, after he was once again arrested for his murderous stabbing spree.
He spent several days in May in the psych ward of Bellevue Hospital, where cops said he assaulted a corrections officer.
Rivera also had two other mental health incidents between November and December 2023, and as the NYPD eyed him as a suspect in the string of burglaries,

Liberals are “pro-crime.”
The RATS got the boy out to make sure he could vote.
I’m sure he’s learned his lesson now. Hopefully they won’t put him in jail. [/s]
‘We are still looking over his record, but there’s a real question on why he was on the street,’
Actually, there isn’t.

This is one of those “low level crimes” - makes sense when they have bigger things to deal with, like where a payment was entered on an accounting ledger 9 years ago...
Too bad the judge that released him wasn’t one of the two stabbed.
“...recently released from prison”
Was he given back his knife at the gate?
Need more social worker in the place of cops.
“Maniac?”
He is a White Hispanic.
Cure?
Click “Bang!”
New star in a Joker sequel?
And what is his immigration status, pray tell?
Now he’ll get three hots and a cot courtesy of N.Y. taxpayers for the next 20 years, until all his appeals run out.
Recall the judge.
And check this out: The same day these murders happened, this article came out “Alvin Bragg favored to win reelection”.
I feel sorry for the people who are innocent, but the assholes in that city who constantly vote democrat, for soft on crime DAs can absolutely go to hell.
“...saying he stole a nearly $1,500 acrylic bowl...”
Dude! Keep your everyday crimes under $900.00 and you can remain free to kill again!
What a screwed up mess we’re in!

If these animals were shot dead like rabid dogs the first time, there would be no further issues. By condoning bad behavior, we appear to rejoice in the horror these people inflict on us.
