A maniac with a history of random attacks on women — who also once decapitated a pigeon in the middle of Penn Station — was released again after his latest arrest, for allegedly kicking a 7-year-old boy in an unprovoked Brooklyn attack, according to cops and prosecutors.
Jesse Daniels, 23, randomly stormed up to the boy and dealt a swift kick to his left ear that knocked him to the ground around 2:35 p.m. March 6 on Schenectady Avenue near Union Street in Crown Heights, according to cops and video posted online by the neighborhood’s Shomrim Patrol.
The boy — who was simply playing outside when he was attacked — refused medical treatment at the scene, cops said.
Daniels was arrested Tuesday and charged with attempted assault in the second and third degrees, third-degree assault, endangering the welfare of a child and second-degree harassment, according to a complaint filed in Brooklyn Criminal Court.
He was released on his own recognizance Wednesday, because the charges do not qualify for bail under the state’s lax bail reform laws.

He faced multiple charges – including misdemeanor assault, harassment and aggravated harassment – but was ultimately granted supervised release by a judge despite prosecutors’ request that he be held on $5,000 cash bail or $15,000 bond.

In a disturbing act of animal cruelty in Penn Station Feb. 13, he allegedly grabbed a pigeon, ripped off its head and tossed both the head and body on the floor, according to cops and a criminal complaint.
Then Daniels – seen wearing the Celtics jacket and carrying the ball – callously stomped on the bird’s body, the court doc said.

This is going to come back and haunt the person who let him off so cheaply.
And he’ll keep escalating until he eventually kills somebody. Our justice system has lost its ever loving mind.

black on white “random” crime.
Vote with your feet people. Get out of New York!
This state wants you to be defenseless, they don't want you to carry the means to defend yourself.
And they are not willing to keep the criminally insane off the streets.
The leadership of New York does not care about the safety or welfare of the people of New York. All they care about is power.
It has gotten to the point where it is time to abandon ship.
The State of New York is not recoverable or redeemable in your lifetime.
GET OUT
Nope, the judge will merrily go on his/her way. Some innocent walking her dog will pay with her life.
I wonder if his defense attorney will cite the term "maniac" as prejudicial and ask for a dismissal of the case.
Anarchical Tyranny… Fascism courtesy of the DEMON-crat party.
When the sovereign abdicates its responsibility to the people to ensure justice in the name of the state, the people have an innate natural right to engage in private justice.
There might be some who disagree, but putting a man in jail for cutting the head off a pigeon is the height of hypocrisy when chicken processing plants decapitate animals by the hundreds of thousands a day with nary a care.
The judges know exactly what they are doing.
But don't sell them short --lots of them are on the take as well.
After 40 more felonies he may finally serve time when he kills a random white girl on the subway.
Maybe.
Look at TX. Look at FL. Look at NC. Etc.
I say contain NY sewage in NY.
Otherwise they will just flip all the red and purple states blue.
The elections in red states are close enough as it is: An exodus of Rats from NYC is going to flip the whole country blue.
Maybe that is why Mamdani got elected.
This is going to come back and haunt the person who let him off so cheaply.
Legally no one had a choice in the matter...”the charges do not qualify for bail under the state’s lax bail reform laws”
Rich men north of Richmond.
How much more will it take?
Back in the day ***holes like this were dealt with by angry fathers.
And no one saw or heard anything.
We need those days to come back.

Wow, how did I guess it was going to be a Blue City?

He could have just poisoned them in the park.
