Here’s a shocker — Zoo York has made the national news again.
We roll out the red carpet with free hotel rooms to a group of migrants, and they repay it by attacking a cop. Then the prosecutor and judge decide to let them go without bail. Can you imagine what would happen if these thugs had attacked a cop in their home country of Venezuela?
We look like dupes. New York, city of idiots.
Kathy Hochul belatedly saying these criminals should be deported feels like a sick joke.
She is well aware that she has the full authority as governor to rescind former former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s 2017 executive order preventing state law enforcement from working with ICE.
Then state authorities could proactively reach out to federal authorities about getting these men deported.
She also understands that she alone can fire woke prosecutors that act like criminal defense attorneys, she won’t! Why? If one of her staffers were doing as bad a job as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, they’d be out the door.
The message that NYC doesn’t prosecute is essentially an invitation to criminals around the world.
Back in 2019, when Don Cuomo was about to sign “Bail Deform” into the big state budget bill, the National Association of Bail Agents warned against such a drastic policy change.
Consider crime victims, consider the emotionally disturbed, consider the law abiding constituents that put you where you are! But nothing was going to stop the George Soros-funded runaway freight train. A big money funded initiative won over the fundamental differences between right and wrong.
So here we are in 2024, when a cop beater flips us off with not one, but two middle fingers, a language New Yorkers understand well.
He knows which side the courts, the prosecutors and the immigration system are on, and it’s clearly not ours.
