The mindless dying of Tommy Bailey proves it: Anybody who votes for Gov. Kathy Hochul on Nov. 8 doesn’t get to complain about crime anyplace within the state.
Bailey, a father of three, was murdered at an L practice station in late September — allegedly by Alvin Charles, who had been arrested for a non-fatal subway stabbing final 12 months and launched underneath the state’s absurd criminal-justice “reforms.”
That's, he acquired sprung to commit the identical crime, this time with a deadly however completely avoidable outcome.
If New York hadn’t succumbed to the activist left on no-bail, Increase the Age and each different crime-driving coverage, Tommy Bailey and plenty of different victims would nonetheless be alive.
And the governor refuses to confess this actuality, pretending that a couple of meaningless tweaks to the legal guidelines mounted all the things. So Bailey’s dying, and all the the tide of violence rising throughout her state, lies at Hochul’s ft.
She additionally owns the heinous acts by others who clearly mustn't have been sprung. Like Waheed Foster, who was let free underneath state reforms after violating paroleand went on to allegedly beat Elisabeth Gomes inside an inch of her life in a Queens subway station in late September.Or Rafael Saavedra, who allegedly murdered a person in chilly blood in April after he was let skate on a November 2021 gun cost. Or the others now too hideously quite a few to call.
Hochul is aware of she’s responsible, is aware of she has no actual exculpation. That’s why her finest protection, thus far, has been It’s not my fault! She’s tried to shift the blame for these abominations onto judges (who're obliged to comply with the regulation, irrespective of how silly it's).
She even had the gall to counsel in August that we wait to “see whether or not or not the system can begin functioning the way in which we supposed” as she took any adjustments off the desk till she will get elected — holding the lives of the general public she allegedly serves hostage to her personal political ambitions.
Sunday introduced a taking pictures proper outdoors the house of Hochul’s challenger, Rep. Lee Zeldin. We will’t say if the perps have been extra “second chancers” — however he’s on level in saying “Like many New Yorkers, crime has actually made it to our entrance door.”
The buck stops with Hochul. So for those who don’t pull the lever for Zeldin this November, you’re voting for slaughter to proceed.
