If this should be in an existing thread, let me know and I'll move it.

This is insane. How in the world will this reduce crime?!

Fixed.

NYC. Another fine city ruined by democRATic control. Reducing penalties for murder, crimes of violence? Yeah, this should go well…

Violent sociopaths that intentionally set out to harm society - minimize penalties. But stand around the capital peacefully on a certain day, maximize penalties.

One wonders what the last straw will be.

The new mayor of NYC Mr. Eric Adams is on record as supporting this clown and his approach. Stick a fork in it. NYC is done.

When decent people take over the prisons by sheer weight of numbers?

I’ll look forward to the perplexity in the left’s mind when they can’t figure what do when a wealthy person in Park Ave gets murdered for a twinky and the perp gets no jail time. Even more so if the colors don’t match their narrative.

Every day, the evidence builds that the left doesn’t have a capacity for rational thinking.

That's becoming less of a problem given many of those wealthy folks you pointed to are now living in Florida. And with all due respect, the evidence that the left is bat shit crazy and living in La La land has been there and evident to anyone willing to look for the past several years. No additional evidence is necessary to have arrived at that conclusion.

NYC is due for a purge. Maybe this will be a good start.

The usual equation for this is the mayor or another high ranking official goes too far, and once enough personal cell phones start blowing up at all hours, policy changs. Given who won this last election, these events may be the tipping point that starts NYC down that long slide that has claimed so may other US cities.

How to reduce crime.
Take career criminals and make them career inmates.
Let them out when they're without a pulse.

I don't understand the need to take the side of criminals over victims of their crimes, or the desire to encourage crime. What's the end game here?

The verdict came in years ago.

Other than sheer stupidity or malevolent intent?

I'm leaning towards the latter.

While we're seeing DAs throughout the country coddle and encourage criminals with their shameful lenient strategies, Russia is taking a slightly different tactic. And that is because Russia, unlike the USA, is a serious country.

Repeat child rapists will be sent to penal colonies in the ARCTIC for life under new proposals in Russia following horrific kidnap, rape and murder of girl, five

Russia is to toughen its child sex laws this month to automatically jail repeat paedophiles for life in harsh polar prisons.

Monsters who sexually abuse children should serve their sentences in hard labour penal colonies in the Arctic, where they could be forced to work in Siberian mines, the country's parliamentary speaker said.

The new legislation is being pushed through after a horrific case this week of a girl, five, who was abducted by a recidivist paedophile and his lover, then raped and stabbed to death.

I could care less how communist cities operate but a big problem they have up there is voter turnout.

"Tyranny of the minority" thy name is NYC.

News stories are full of people in the city complaining about crime but apparently no one goes to the pols to change it.

Less Than 1/4 Of NYC Voters Cast Ballots In Election That Saw All Seats Up For Grabs

Less than a quarter of the registered voters in New York City decided who will be mayor, public advocate, comptroller and sit in every City Council seat come January.

Turnout in New York City’s municipal elections continued its years-long flat line Tuesday with no more than 1.2 million votes cast — a turnout rate no better than 24 percent, an analysis of data from the Board of Elections shows.

Oh friggin' well. You made your bed. Now lay in it.

I really don’t give a shit for these people there anymore

The people of NYC keep voting these clowns in, so let them reap what they’ve sown.

The city will soon have smash & grab gangs operating openly just like California and it will soon be even worse than the bad old days of the 1970’s.

This insane policy plus the vaccine passport bullshit is going to totally destroy this city.

NYC just being NYC. In the next few years many more people will abandon that city in decline.

I don't give a shit, they elected him knowing what he was going to do. I just want the asshats to stay there and enjoy the benefits. Too often they move and spread the fucking commie progressive cancer to decent areas and states which become new shit holes.
