NYC nitwits get what they deserve: Newly elected DA, Alvin Bragg, will stop most criminal prosecutions

I’ll take a truckload of salt with that claim.

:roll_eyes:

Another pathetic deflection.

What makes a Supreme Court opinion legitimate is when it is in harmony with the text of our Constitution and its documented legislative intent which gives context to its text.

Arguing over a cartoon is the height of absurdity.

So why are you arguing over a cartoon?

The Democrat Party Leadership, once an advocate for hard working American citizens and their families, has now GONE MAD

Business leaders considering a recall of Alvin Bragg

Surprise, surprise! See Angry biz leaders to meet with new DA Alvin Bragg, discuss recall efforts over soft-on-crime agenda

January 10, 2022

”The Partnership for New York City, the Big Apple’s largest business advocacy organization, will meet with progressive Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg to voice their concerns over details of his stay-out-of-jail free card for criminals.

Some members of the group are so angered by Bragg’s new policies that they are also discussing efforts to recall the newly elected prosecutor, The Post has learned.”

In regard to recall, see Laws governing recall in New York - Ballotpedia

“Recall of elected officials is not permitted in New York. While recall elections do not occur, the New York Constitution states, “Any town, village, improvement district or fire district officer, except a justice of the peace, may be removed from office by the supreme court for any misconduct, maladministration, malfeasance or malversation in office.” Any citizen within the officeholder’s district may submit an application for removal to the local branch of the appellate division of the supreme court”.[1]

Today’s Democrat Party Leadership is infested with Socialist Revolutionaries, the same kind that took over Cuba and now rule over the people with an iron fist!

They turned bait and switch into an art form.

Remember this?

Right out of the narrative :rofl:

Wrong thread?

No it’s not. He promised to “make us safer”. He switched and is making it less safe.

Bait and switch.

Bragg only just released his memo. Its too soon to see if his policies will make Manhattan less safe.

Oh, but we do know the results of such policies:

“Two years ago, a person arrested would be in custody and set to be arraigned in 72 hours,” said Moore. “Today, that process is, with the zero-bail, that person is in and out back in the community and their next court appearance is an arraignment that’s four or five months out.”

Moore said homicides have gone up about 50% since 2019 and aggravated assaults have gone up about 16%.

If people who are released on recognizance are committing crimes then the problem isn’t the lack of bail, its that the people responsible for determining if an offender is a threat or flight risk are not doing a good job.

Moore said homicides have gone up about 50% since 2019 and aggravated assaults have gone up about 16%.

Bragg’s policy doesn’t refer to homicides and aggravated assaults. Are you implying that people who are arrested for non-violent offenses and released on recognizance are going and killing people?

Just a note - the New York County District Attorney is not a town, village, improvement district or fire district officer.

He’s not going anywhere.

Yesterday’s headline:

Knife-wielding suspect has felony charge reduced under Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s policies

January 11, 2022

"Cops charged Rolon with first-degree robbery and criminal possession of a weapon in the first incident, sources said.

But when he was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court early Sunday morning, the robbery charge was dropped by the Manhattan DA’s Office and he was instead charged with two counts of petit larceny and related low-level offenses, including second-degree menacing, court papers show."

Menacing in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor.

The article goes on to note: “At the time of Rolon’s arrest Saturday, he was wanted in Brooklyn for failing to appear in court in October on charges that include felony assault with a weapon, records show.”

The Democrat Party Leadership, once an advocate for hard working American citizens and their families, is now their most formidable domestic enemy.

That’s what they do . . . bait and switch, obfuscate, deflect, exaggerate, instigate, and use any other tactic to avoid a productive discussion.

They are not “liberals” or “progressives”. They are Socialist Revolutionaries, the very kind who took over Cuba and now rule over the people with an iron fist.

More crime but it’s OK, because CNN says so… The most corrupt network ever…

Guess my interpretation of the memo was wrong. Despite that, its still too soon to see if his policies will make Manhattan less safe unless you have evidence that Rolon robbed the drug store because of the memo.

Says the dude who usually responds to most posts with a facepalm or eyeroll image and then just repeats what he wrote earlier.

So robbery would be changed to a misdemeanor if the gun’s unloaded, even when using it in a threatening manner. Good to know.

Says the one who advocates : “From each according to their ability to pay, to each who needs help living a decent life.” ___ fallenturtle

You fit right in with Alvin Bragg’s crowd who is using his power to spread the wealth from those who have worked to earned it to those who steal it.

They are not “liberals” or “progressives”. They are Socialist Revolutionaries, the very kind who took over Cuba and now rule over the people with an iron fist.

Hmmmm…. Evidence is already pointing in that direction.
