The New York Post summarized Bragg’s new policy as follows:
Armed robbers who use guns or other deadly weapons to stick up stores and other businesses will be prosecuted only for petty larceny, a misdemeanor, provided no victims were seriously injured and there’s no “genuine risk of physical harm” to anyone. Armed robbery, a class B felony, would typically be punishable by a maximum of 25 years in prison, while petty larceny subjects offenders to up to 364 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Convicted criminals caught with weapons other than guns will have those felony charges downgraded to misdemeanors unless they’re also charged with more serious offenses. Criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, a class D felony, is punishable by up to 7 years behind bars.
Burglars who steal from residential storage areas, parts of homes that aren’t “accessible to a living area” and businesses located in mixed-use buildings will be prosecuted for a low-level class D felony that only covers break-ins instead of for more serious crimes. Those more serious crimes, class B and class C felonies, would be punishable by up to 25 and up to 15 years in prison respectively.
Drug dealers believed to be “acting as a low-level agent of a seller” will be prosecuted only for misdemeanor possession. Also, suspected dealers will only be prosecuted on felony charges if they’re also accused of more serious crimes or are actually caught in the act of selling drugs. That felony would mean facing up to seven years behind bars.
What specifically in the above summary is “invalid” as you have asserted?

The Democrat Party Leadership, once an advocate for hard working American citizens and their families, is now their most formidable domestic enemy.
Its moot. The NYPost is not a trustworthy news source and uses loaded language to push their viewpoint. It could be right on the money for all I know. Doesn’t matter. Since my own interpretation is apparently wrong I can’t tell if theirs is or isn’t.
Well, aren’t you the special one, asserting “The NYPost is not a trustworthy news source”, instead of specifying what is “invalid” in their summary of Bragg’s policy as you alleged?

The Chinese Communist Party is counting on America’s Fifth Column media [MSNBC, NEW YORK TIMES, CNN, WASHINGTON POST, ATLANTIC MAGAZINE, New York Daily News, Time, ETC.], and their Yellow Journalists, to delude the American people.
Just ignorant and hateful, or perhaps simply being in line with the agenda of Socialist Revolutionaries who believe as you do:
“From each according to their ability to pay, to each who needs help living a decent life.” ___ fallenturtle

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!
“Police arrested 43-year-old William Rolon, saying it was the second time he hit the store — and his 39th arrest overall. But instead of charging Rolon with robbery, sources said prosecutors dropped the charges to petit larceny – a misdemeanor – even though the manager told police she was terrified.”
Well, it reported the same story which the NEW YORK POST reported and who you asserted a “conservative rag”. So, is Channel 4, NBC, also a “conservative rag”?
You didn’t answer the question. Considering Channel 4, NBC reported the same story as did The New York Post as documented above, is Channel 4, NBC, also a “conservative rag”?
Of course, you answered the question. And your obvious elusiveness is not only glaring, but evidence that your condemnation of the New York Post as a “conservative rag”, while not condemning Channel 4, NBC in the same manner which reported the same story, is nothing more than another deflection intended to avoid discussing the actual story which highlights the insanity of Alvin Bragg’s policy which puts the general public in harm’s way.

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.
