At no point does anyone want to lay the blame where it belongs:

*Soft on crime laws
*Defunding the police
*Prosecutors who refuse to prosecute
*Judges who hand down light sentences

The rot in blue cities and states runs through all 3 branches of government.

Prosecutors who refuse to prosecute is a big issue in New Your City.

“Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has downgraded a staggering 60 percent of felony cases to lesser charges in the last year, data from his office shows.

The progressive DA reduced 938 of the most serious charged in 2023, 834 of which were brought down to misdemeanors.

Under Bragg, the percentage of felonies downgraded has increased to 60 - up from 53% percent under his predecessor. Bragg's team defended the figures stating the office's performance is on a par with other New York boroughs and higher when it comes to felony convictions.”

Bragg, who campaigned on a promise of criminal justice reform, issued a controversial 'Day One' memo after taking office stating he would only seek prison time in the most severe cases.

It comes amid fury over criminals being allowed to roam the streets of the Big Apple, which continues to be rocked by a violent crime wave.”

Meanwhile victims of crime have also expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of justice.”
