Who needs soft-on-crime judges when the district attorney doesn’t even want to lock up the bad guys?

In his first memo to staff on Monday, Alvin Bragg said his office “will not seek a carceral sentence” except with homicides and a handful of other cases, including domestic violence felonies, some sex crimes and public corruption.

When does the border wall around NYC get erected and the theme Escape From New York becomes real?

The part that takes the prize for idiocy is the one that says you’re off the hook if you resist arrest. Just facepalm-head-wagging-wow!

He’ll throw the book at anybody who defends themselves from a criminal, however.

Why would anyone want to reside in the city, or pay taxes for this type of treatment?

If you refuse to lock up the criminals, you will have more crime.

These Soros paid DAs are making BLM the largest crime gang. City after city is falling to BLM control. It’s a huge protection racket.

Here’s where we’re headed: Let the cops retire, fire all the prosecutors and judges.

History repeats. The Bernie Ghoetz and Central Park Jogger stories showcased how utterly lawless and flat out dangerous NYC had become. That led to change. History will repeat.

Said more succinctly, history shows that it will have to get even worse before it gets better. And it will.
