Manhattan District Lawyer Alvin Bragg
William C. Lopez/NYPOST
The Problem: Newly elected Manhattan District Lawyer Alvin Bragg’s plan to not prosecute minor crimes.
How is it potential that Manhattan District Lawyer Alvin Bragg has set forth essentially the most ridiculously pro-crime coverage ever (“Spree go,” Jan. 5)?
Mayor Adams, new “law-and-order mayor,” are you on board with this? Has New York Metropolis formally change into the brand new Wild West?
I’m not a prison, so I've many questions: Is all the pieces now free in any respect shops? If I'm mugged, or worse, is vigilante justice the way in which to go?
I’m questioning why and the way this may encourage companies to reopen their places of work in New York Metropolis? The criminal-friendly Mayor Invoice de Blasio years will likely be remembered as glory days in comparison with this recent reign of terror. Welcome to Gotham.

The motion taken by newly put in Manhattan DA Bragg ought to come as no shock to anybody who actually took the time to analysis the candidates.
Bragg is just not performing the job he was elected to do — prosecute and uphold the legal guidelines of New York.
I acknowledge that every one too typically, it's the poorest who find yourself taking pleas and dealing their method by means of the system as a result of they'll’t afford attorneys with large pockets to completely examine the alleged crimes.
That being mentioned, it's not the job of a prosecutor to make broad-brush strokes on what the DA’s workplace will or won't prosecute based mostly on the costs and never the proof offered.

The agenda that Bragg simply introduced ought to have each New Yorker who cares about this metropolis incensed.
He laid out a plan that will likely be a significant roadblock to restoring legislation and order to a metropolis ravaged by eight years of incompetent and damaging management, and it'll inevitably result in much more folks being maimed and killed.
This man works for the folks of this metropolis, and has no proper to impose his irresponsible and reckless insurance policies on our judicial system.

Day after day, I learn letters from distraught present and former New York Metropolis residents bemoaning the down-trending state of the town, with criticism after criticism concerning the results of de Blasio and all his failed insurance policies.
Now now we have the newly put in Bragg, who intends to inflict extra hurt on Gotham.
Misplaced amongst all of the outrage and indignation is the truth that Bragg and the present crop of elected officers have all been elected by lower than 20% of the eligible registered metropolis voters. Why isn’t this an even bigger subject?
Complain all you need, metropolis dwellers, however till the voter turnouts improve, you'll proceed to see fringe-type candidates elected to public workplace and thereby should undergo the implications of their socialist insurance policies. We've nobody in charge however ourselves.

I've a sense that since Manhattan’s new district lawyer has made it clear he won't search a carceral sentence for nearly something wanting homicide or lethal assault, quite a lot of Manhattan bodega house owners will likely be including a loaded sawed-off shotgun to the gadgets they hold behind the counter.
That is what occurs when the general public is left to fend for its personal security.
Discover that issues about out-of-control crime in lots of large cities run by Democrats have helped push gun gross sales to near-record highs. None of that is good.

You’ve acquired to be kidding. New Yorkers elected a brand new mayor who has a combating probability to assist the town keep away from changing into a hellhole, like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago.
However additionally they elected Bragg — a four-star “wokester.” His nutty concepts will pull the rug out from beneath the mayor and the entire criminal-justice system, leaving law-abiding residents to undergo much more.
I like New York, and it incorporates many fantastic folks, however let’s face it: They're now outnumbered by leftist nitwits. Good Luck, New York.
