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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
