“That’s All Bulls**t,” was the response of Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie when asked whether his “bail reform” and “Raise the Age” laws have increased crime in New York State.
“Absolutely Not!” was the response of Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, when asked if she would consider changes to Democrat-sponsored criminal justice laws.
We shouldn’t be surprised. Both Heastie and Stewart-Cousins are following the progressive playbook: blame the police; blame “institutional racism.”
They blame everything under the sun. But they never blame the criminals, and they will never admit that their “reforms” have made New Yorkers less safe and brought about a system of revolving door justice. Police arrest and then rearrest offenders, often for committing the same crimes.
We need to give judges the ability to assess the dangerousness of a criminal defendant when someone is accused of a crime. This does not mean the poor go to jail and the affluent go free.
It means creating a system where common sense prevails. Where our judges, who have someone’s record in front of them, can assess whether that person is likely to reoffend if released into the population. This is especially true when gun crimes or other violent crimes are alleged.
Common sense is lacking in Albany.
It won’t change unless we change those in charge.
I need your help to elect state Senators who will vote to restore common sense to our criminal laws. Senators who will stand up against the progressive, socialist mob which now runs Albany.
