Why Wasn't He in Jail? The Pro-Felon, Anti-American criminal agenda from some of the Left 'Yesterday, a madman on a stabbing spree killing three New Yorkers. The killer is a 51-year-old New York City shelter resident with a troubling criminal history that includes at least eight prior arrests—many for felonies—and at least one open case. Once again, New Yorkers find themselves asking the same dismal question suggested by Mayor Eric Adams, who spoke at a press conference after the attacks: What the hell was this guy doing on the street?' Yes. What the hell? Is too much of the Left in an abusive relationship with the American People? Do they simply not care about the Americans being murdered? Do they think we deserve it for some reason? 'After all, per the Daily News, the triple-murder suspect was booked a month ago for stealing a bowl priced at nearly $1,500. Rather than getting hit with a felony grand larceny charge and remanded to pretrial detention, or held on bail, he was charged with petit larceny and released. Before that incident, he received more than a year’s worth of jail sentences in August and September for prior instances of assault and burglary. So: Why was he on the street?' He should have been in jail. These three dead Americans should still be alive. Enter ALVIN BRAGG 'The answer is simple: bad policies. In 2020, New York State’s bail and discovery reforms took effect. The bail reform made it so that nearly all accused criminals in the state would be released pretrial rather than held in detention, and it did so while strengthening the prohibition on judges considering public-safety risk when making release decisions. The discovery reform amounted to a massive unfunded compliance burden on prosecutors, which has led to skyrocketing dismissal rates. The following year, Alvin Bragg, who campaigned on promises to cut incarceration, bring fewer cases, and enact broad non-prosecution policies, was elected as Manhattan D.A.' 'These were just three of many missteps by New York City and State leaders seeking to go easier on criminals and harder on cops. Then you have the administrative-policy reforms enacted by the city’s two “progressive” district attorneys, Eric Gonzalez (Brooklyn) and Bragg.' It's time to change approach. Please discuss.
NY decided that we should not be wasting our time by putting people in jail, awaiting trial, for non-violent crimes like stealing a bowl. And for the most part many people agree that it's stupid to keep people in jail awaiting trial for non-violent low-level crimes.
stabbing people is non-violent? Holy crap, you people really do live in a computer generated dream-world. SHEESH!
He was not released from jail after stabbing people. He was released from jail before that because he stole a bowl.
And if you had looked at his record, he had committed many other crimes before that. New York as gone insane with its treatment criminals. While a hero is prosecuted for defending people on the subway from a mad man, who had been arrested numerious times, this bozo is set free with a butcher knife. He killed three innocent people in section of the city which is considered "safe." I lived in that area, neat the UN, many years ago.
If they are violent criminals, they need to be in prison or and insane asylum if they are truly mentally ill. It seems that you don't give a damn about the innocent people who are harmed by them. You only care about the criminals. Joe Biden is the same way. He didn’t care about Laken Reilly who was killed by an illegal alien who also had a criminal record. Her death was an “inconvenient event” which interfered with his open border policies.
They need to be taken off the streets and sentenced to terms that fit the crime. If they kill somebody, like the scum bag who killed Laken Reilly, they should spend the rest of their lives in prison or face the death penalty if their crime is particularly hanus.. That scum bag has the heart and face of lizzard. He didn't care about the fact that he killed an innocent woman. He was only upset that he was arrested.
Do you miss the pizza, bagels and dirty water dogs? I do. From what I’ve been reading, Bragg will be up for election next year and it’s looking like he will win. WTF is wrong with liberal New Yorkers?
They are sentenced to terms that fit the crime. Even in NY. None of this guys previous crimes were very serious that would put him in prison for even 10 years.
New Yorkers think they are progressive and “sophisticated.” That calls for them to vote Democrat, no matter how bad the candidate is. They do reach limits when it’s too late. My niece, who is “radical sheek” finally had enough of Bill DeBlasio. Of course then she voted for Eric Adams. The next New York mayor is rumored to be Andrew Cuomo. He can have the office for the asking. Maybe he’ll be able to hit on more women once he’s mayor.
Too bad NY doesn't bother prosecuting "the offenders", despite what the Law & Order jingle says, otherwise 3 Americans would still be alive. This is what y'all wanted, you deal with the consequences. NYC can burn to the ground as far as I'm concerned, until massive changes are made, I won't come within 200 miles of the place I used to call home.
Murders ought be put to death, and other violent crimes short of murder ought START at 25 to life and go from there.
I was speaking generically, but based on the info previously posted, NY should have had this dude locked up, but they're weak on crime, so they get more of it, naturally. I don't care, they can seethe in it until they decide to change the rules.
You missed this part "Before that incident, he received more than a year’s worth of jail sentences in August and September for prior instances of assault and burglary. So: Why was he on the street?''

He was sentenced to 'more than a year’s worth of jail sentences in August and September for prior instances of assault and burglary. So: Why was he on the street?' 3 months ago he was given a jail sentence.
You're just making things up. 12 is 4 times more than 3. Sadly you've made the point that these pro-criminal folks do not care a wit about the innocent Americans that are slaughtered as a result of the pro-criminal policies. America's relationship with too much of the Left is an abusive one, and in the last election Americans were healthy enough to reject them and the abusive relationship that they offer.
