New York's Bail Reform Law And The War On Jews

 The new New York State 'bail reform' law that took effect as of January 1 2020 is one of the most blatant examples of political pandering and disregard for public safety imaginable. Aside from allowing hundreds of felons out on the streets immediately, it guarantees that many more will not be convicted or serve any time at all.

 It eliminates pretrial detention and any requirement for bail for what Governor Cuomo and the Democrats who now run both houses of state government call  'misdemeanor and non-violent felony cases.' It also makes any sort of prosecution for a number of crimes extremely difficult. Calling them  'non-violent misdemeanor crimes' not involving physical harm to victims is ridiculous. Many of them definitely involve potentially severe physical, emotional and psychological harm and in many cases lifetime damage.

Note the ones I highlight...

If you look at the list carefully, there are any number of these 'misdemeanors' capable of doing immense harm to people. And others that freely allow people to tamper with the justice system to make sure they can get off and can't be prosecuted.

It's absurd...unless  you're  a Left wing Democrat politician catering to the very demographic that votes for him or her.

You see, if you are a Left leaning Democrat and counting votes, it makes sense...especially if you are a cop hater like De Blasio.

 For several months now, Hassidic Jews have been getting attacked on New York streets.Almost every incident has been caught on video from some street security camera system. Each and every video has proven shown that the attacker is not a White Supremacist.

Look carefully at the offenses above. Isn't it interesting that the new laws on immediate release with no bail or incarceration pushed through by Democrats mostly effect demographics they depend on for votes? And victimize groups that predominantly vote Republican these days...like religious Orthodox Jews?

There has been a whole spate of violent attacks on Orthodox Jews in neighborhoods like Queens, Crown Heights and other parts of Brooklyn. And any number of vandalizing of Jewish cemeteries, synagogues and other Jewish community buildings. And violent attacks like the one in Monsey that involved a machete bearing African-American man attacking a party in a Rabbi's home on Hanukkah, a brick dropped from a building that killed a prominent Jewish woman in the community, and numerous examples of the knockout game, where elderly Jews are targeted for beatings.

Almost all of these crimes have been committed by a certain demographic.

 The Pew Research  Polling Institute polled American of every ethnic group except Muslims (I wonder why) and found that African Americans were the most likely to swallow anti-Jewish stereotypes of any American ethnicity they polled.

  Remember, most of the victims are Orthodox Jews and are very visible because of their dress.  As such, they're a perfect sacrifice to cater to certain  African Americans, and to some groups of Latinos and Muslims..why else do you think that rioting, vandalizing cemeteries and female genital mutilation are among the crimes which free perpetrators immediately? In addition not only are these crimes eligible, but any crimes including assaults, including sexual assaults and assaults on kids and manslaughter that are judged to be 'hate crimes' are exempt as well. 'Hate crimes' carry additional penalties. Apparently some folks are immune and others will be charged just because  they don't belong to certain groups and defended themselves.

And to add an extra bit of salt to the wound, these laws were constructed to make prosecution for these offenses extremely difficult. After all, perjury, bribing a witness, destroying physical evidence, and bribing a witness or a juror now effectively have no penalty, since you can do any of these things now and walk away free as a bird.

 And since the perps are walking around  free and their victims identity and addresses are no longer secret, there's nothing to stop them from accosting the victims with threats as to what will happen to them and their loved ones if they don't drop the charges. Or to approach witnesses with a similar message to convince them to forget what they saw.


The idea here is quite obvious. To get lots of potential Democrat voters out of jail and keep them there. And to get as many Jews as possible out of their traditional neighborhoods. And it's working. A lot of Jews who have lived in these areas for generations are leaving, especially in Brooklyn.

The solution? It isn't whining about anti-semitism, holding candlelight vigils or believing the garbage that comes out of the mouths of people like Mayor De Blasio or Governor Cuomo. It doesn't come from police patrols or additional security guards who won't be around forever. Trust me on that.

And especially, it doesn't come from passive acceptance.

What ends this sort of thing is when the sort of human beings who enjoy committing these crimes, actually fear some sort of consequences. At this point, there aren't any, especially now that this new law is being applied.

But an armed populace willing to provide some  consequences can end this quite quickly. A  wannabe  serial killer who walked into a Texas church found this out recently. He won't have to worry about bail or incarceration anymore. Or much of anything else. The congregation won't have to worry about him either. Amazing how a lead injection takes care of this sort of thing, once and for all.



New York's Jews,  if not Jews everywhere should take a lesson from the story of Hanukkah they recently celebrated. Until the Jews started fighting back, they were viciously persecuted by their Seleucid Greek rulers. Once that started, things changed.

Thankfully,  some Jews already taken have that message to heart.
