Old: If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.
New: If you can’t do the time, Alvin Bragg will be there for you.
That much just became clear, as the newly minted Manhattan DA issued marching orders to his hundreds of assistants and support staff.
“Let’s do our very best to keep people out of jail, kids. And let’s really, really not sweat the small stuff.”
OK, Bragg didn’t actually say that — but it pretty faithfully paraphrases the guts of a staff memo Bragg issued Monday, the first business day of his four-year term.
Specifically, Bragg says his office “will not seek a carceral sentence” for anything short of murder or deadly assault (“carceral” being progressive double-speak for prison). Also, he says minor crime won’t be prosecuted at all.
In other words, jail is to be reserved for ax-murderers and their ilk; armed robbers and heavyweight drug-dealers are to be minimally inconvenienced — and just forget about the quality-of-life law enforcement that was the beating heart of the Giuliani-era rescue of New York City decades ago.
Victims? Let ’em hunker down and hope for the best. No place for them in Manhattan any more.
Soros’ biggest coup yet
And Mayor Adams can just forget about his oft-promised crackdown on the city’s dangerously rising crime rates — because there is no point in picking up criminals if you have no place to put them down.

Concealed Carry for all taxpayers?
Time for street justice.
I remember NYC in the 1970s.
It was ... interesting.
Madness, Democrat style.
But if the victim shoots or grapples with someone and hits them they will be prosecuted for violation of the civil rights or privilege of the criminal.
Hands off like the employees watching high cost items being stolen by laughing thugs with huge trash bags going out the store doors.

A new Sesame Street Movie I ran across today that is prescient
Yeah...this plan worked so well in LA.
Good.....let em wallow in it. Gonna be fun to watch in some ways.
Cops don’t have time anymore to go after real criminals
It takes a dozen of them now to harass and scare a 6 year old who just wants some riblets for lunch
All part of making the red states blue by exodus.
I have visited NYC many times but the last time was in 1999. Not looking good for a return visit if ever.
I was frequenting NYC all through 2020, mostly a site in Jamaica Center, Queens. There were “yutes” selling “passes” to the subway, they would take $1 from their customer, escort them past the transit police (four cops) pull out a key, unlock the gate, and wave them through. I’m guessing a slice of that $1 went to the transit police, and another slice went to the regular police who were up on the landing watching the process. This opportunity was in place 100% of the dozens of times I used the station.
Not in Gnu Yak. We are not permitted to defend ourselves in the land of Soros, Cuomo and Hochul.
“Time for street justice.”
Yes, I would not be surprised one bit if neighborhood vigilante groups start cropping up. The mafia is going to be back in (the protection) business soon.
Punch your wife, go to jail. Punch a woman in the street, no jail.
Stick a gun in a store clerk's face, you're only robbing a business, a victimless crime really, no jail.
Push an old man down, break his hip, no deadly weapon, no jail.
Crazy, stupid, evil. Pick one or two or three.
Actually,I don't give a rat's hindquarters if it's wrong...I very sincerely hope that it happens!
No. The white women carrying her are guilty.
“She” (the woman in white) is a minority female democrat voter (several times!), and therefore cannot be guilty of anything in New York City.
