New York bills could abolish life without parole for serial killers and cop killers, critics warn

State lawmakers in New York are considering a series of "four bad bills" that critics are warning could lead to the release of mass murderers, serial killers and other violent convicts.

Among the examples Suffolk County officials and the families of victims raised at a news briefing Friday are serial killer Joel Rifkin, who murdered between nine and 17 women; commuter shooter Colin Ferguson, who killed six and wounded 19 on the Long Island Rail Road; and the White supremacist gunman Payton Gendron, who livestreamed the massacre of 10 people at a Tops supermarket in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Buffalo.

Thousands of other violent criminals could also be released. The bills aim to establish an elder parole program in the Empire State, among other changes that would result in the early release of killers.

"We're talking about the worst of the worst," Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney told Fox News Digital. "The people who have done really the worst acts possible and have proven to be really a danger to our society. And they're like an infinitesimal, small percentage of our population who create an inordinately large amount of all of the problems, all the violence, all of the theft and everything else."

The state abolished Gov. Pataki's death penalty after the Cuomos returned to power. This will be the model for the majority of states that do not have a death penalty or enforce it. Abolishing life sentences and life without parole are next on the hit list of the Left's social justice warriorism.

The intent is to dump these criminals on other states. New York has been doing this for decades with lesser crimes.

Normally the New York perp leaves the state with a warrant amount high enough to keep them away but low enough to prevent other states from hand delivering them back.

Time to dig out the Guy Fawkes mask. “V” for Vigilante. They hurt one of your loved ones, you hurt 10 of theirs as well as the killer.

The Mafia was, and is, an evil organization. But on the other hand:

Bonasera: I ask for justice.
Don Corleone: That is not justice. Your daughter is still alive.
Bonasera: Let them suffer then, as she suffers. How much shall I pay you?

Don Corleone: Bonasera, Bonasera. What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? If you’d come to me in friendship, then this s**** that ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day. And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you.

Cut it down to time served and 30 days Community service - but if that’s too taxing, just let them go and encourage them to sue for damages and defamation.

No white murderers will be released. Only approved “victims of society” will be eligible.
