The Challenge: Experiences that conviction charges have dropped considerably below Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
District Attorneys Alvin Bragg, Larry Krasner and George Gascón are all recognized for gaslighting the general public they had been elected to guard [“The (Ugly) Bragg Difference,” Editorial, Nov. 28].
They deny crime has risen. They permit repeat offenders to proceed their reign of crime. Their workplaces are in states of confusion. These DAs uphold their very own agendas in direct battle with the security of citizenry. What to do?
The governors or voters of their respective states can substitute them with DAs sworn to guard the general public.
However that will imply having a New York governor who doesn’t gaslight and makes robust selections primarily based on truth, not donations.

The insurance policies being applied by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg are precisely what he promised throughout his marketing campaign. There was no bait-and-switch.
The general public was informed what he would do and voted for it. Apparently, these insurance policies are what the general public wished and voted for. Now the general public can undergo from the insurance policies they endorsed.
Why is The New York Submit or anybody complaining?

Why does The Submit proceed to beat a useless horse? The voters of New York wished and proceed to need Bragg as their prosecutor. Elections don’t lie.
In a far-distant world, Manhattan as soon as had nice prosecutors: Thomas Dewey, Frank Hogan, Robert Morgenthau.
Morgenthau, himself a liberal, as soon as stated the job of a prosecutor is “to guard the general public and administer the legal guidelines.”
Now, who is aware of what a prosecutor’s job is? Bragg made it crystal clear what his ideas had been when working for the job.
So Bragg could also be a most cancers on the criminal-justice system, however he's not a liar. He telegraphed his message lengthy and laborious. He’s not the issue; it’s the individuals who put him there.

District attorneys like Bragg refuse to prosecute criminals, the Metropolis Council passes legal guidelines that tie the arms of the police, judges flip prison after prison free, the state Legislature passes weird pro-criminal legal guidelines and the governor of New York does her finest to mimic a potted plant.
New York is on its manner into the sewer, dragging its individuals with it. There’s a saying that explains all of it: Those that present compassion to the merciless will in the end develop into merciless to the compassionate.

The Challenge: A invoice that will stop metropolis landlords from working background checks on potential tenants.
I'm not a landlord, thank God (“Nix on tenant checks,” Nov. 27).
Metropolis Councilman Keith Powers and Speaker Adrienne Adams assist a invoice banning metropolis landlords from performing prison background checks on potential tenants. Exemptions embody NYCHA models and two-family properties. The remainder is honest recreation.
Who of their proper thoughts would need a convicted killer or arsonist tenant? Why ought to harmless residence dwellers be put in danger? This ceaseless hectoring of landlords defies frequent sense.

We've sufficient crime within the metropolis streets already. The streets are additionally inhabited by psychological sufferers (whom the Democratic Get together doesn't need to have hospitalized and brought care of in psychological establishments). Repeat prison offenders aren't incarcerated.
The one secure place to cover is our properties. This invoice would rob us, the law-abiding, tax-paying residents of New York Metropolis, of that.
