I am a silk purse, champ. Always have been. You should love me. I’ve gone from desperate poverty on my own at fifteen to straight up bougie in the last twenty years. Jumped four social classes. I’m a totally self made man.
I’m what y’all wish you were. I’m the American Dream.
The videos confirm thousands upon thousands of dollars are looted. LINK

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!
Up to 364 days in jail and $1000 fine for armed robbery?? Oh my gosh! That place will resemble Blade Runner by 2030. After my last visit to Philly, in 2019, I decided to write off all major metro areas. This type of insanity confirms my decision. I feel so bad for the law-abiding people in these ■■■■ holes.
Here is how many go to jail in NYC for looting and smash and grab . . . essentially zipski. And now, Alvin Bragg puts his stamp of approval on this policy which puts these thugs and criminals immediately back on the street to continue their criminal acts against law abiding citizens.

What do you believe the minimum sentence for a first time offense of petty larceny armed with a weapon that doesn’t have a “genuine risk of physical harm” (no bullets, replica gun, etc) should be?
Not quite an engagement. We decided we were gonna get married like year two. The legit ring and stuff engagement has to be short enough that her parents won’t have a chance to screw anything up.
Class prejudice. It’s like a Jane Austen novel. Crazy.
For armed robbery? Hell, 5 years minimum. The “genuine risk of physical harm” will be twisted by lawyers who say “because of the defendant’s upbringing, he had no idea that armed robbery was wrong” or something stupid like that. Leniency like this will make these types of crimes increase. Also, what if someone uses a realistic-looking toy gun (for safety reasons) in a store and gets shot by the business owner in self-defense?
Absolutely sickening! The fact is robbery in the Second Degree is a Class C violent felony in New York and a person convicted of it is supposed to earn a minimum sentence of at least 3 1/2 years in state prison. An exception being one charged as a “Youthful Offender”.
SECTION 160.10
Robbery in the second degree
Penal (PEN) CHAPTER 40, PART 3, TITLE J, ARTICLE 160
§ 160.10 Robbery in the second degree.
A person is guilty of robbery in the second degree when he forcibly
steals property and when:
He is aided by another person actually present; or
In the course of the commission of the crime or of immediate flight
therefrom, he or another participant in the crime:
(a) Causes physical injury to any person who is not a participant in
the crime; or
(b) Displays what appears to be a pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun,
machine gun or other firearm; or
The property consists of a motor vehicle, as defined in section one
hundred twenty-five of the vehicle and traffic law.
Robbery in the second degree is a class C felony.
.

So now, in NYC, Alvin Bragg, for this criminal offense, will give a slap on the wrist if the perp doesn’t actually shoot their victim.
Un-freaken-believable

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.
What if studies showed that for first time offenders 5+ years of incarceration was setting up the offender for greater chances of recidivism, more difficulty reintegrating in society, more broken homes, and a greater cost to the tax payers vs diversion and a fine?
I don’t think “genuine risk of physical harm” works like that.
What if this, and what if that? What about simply following the law, put these criminals behind bars where they belong and where they can’t destroy the lives of hard-working citizens and their families who obey the law?

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