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.

So, once again you deflect rather than respond to what is posted. Considering you are fully aware of the actual Bragg memo, which you POSTED A LINK TO and confirms what was written in the New York Post, it is obvious your comment “You’re quoting the NYPost”., is nothing more than a deflection as you have not shown it to be inconsistent with the actual Bragg policy memo.
- The following offenses shall be charged as follows:
a) An act that could be charged under PL §§ 160.15 (2, 3, or 4), 160.10(2b), or 160.05
that occurs in a commercial setting should be charged under PL § 155.25 if the force
or threat of force consists of displaying a dangerous instrument or similar behavior but
does not create a genuine risk of physical harm.
You’re breaking your mic for no reason what so ever.
I said, “Supposedly, but based on this arrest of this Rolon dude I’m fairly off the mark on what the memo is advising. The way I read it this guy shouldn’t have had his sentence downgraded.” and you replied with an ad hom for reasons unknown to me.
Let me break this down for you:
- The NYPost has a strong conservative bias and therefore its interpretation of the memo is invalid in my opinion.
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?
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.

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!

Is Channel 4, NBC, also a “conservative rag”?
SEE: Robbery Charge Reduced Under New Manhattan DA’s Reform Policies: Sources – NBC New York
“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.”

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.

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…
John, a trustworthy news source reporting on the same story as a non-trustworthy news source doesn’t make the trustworthy news source non-trustworthy or vice versa. That’s not how it works. Otherwise almost every news source in existence would be simultaneously a liberal rag, a conservative rag, and a neutral unbiased source of news.

…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.
Its not a deflection, you’re the one who choose to go down this path.
Your opinionated predictions are not facts (nor mine).
