Alleged Anti-Semitic Arsonist Released With No Bail In New York
Daily Caller ^ | 1/8/2020 | Luke Rosiak

Posted on 01/08/2020 7:09:10 PM PST by bitt

James Polite, who was charged with hate crimes and arson after he allegedly set fire to seven Jewish sites and vandalized a synagogue, was released from jail without bail Tuesday, according to court records.

Polite allegedly wrote “Die Jew Rats” and “Hitler” at the Union Temple of Brooklyn in November 2018. Security footage allegedly showed him setting setting fires at “seven shuls and yeshivas in Williamsburg.”

The incidents led to the cancellation of a Democratic event at the synagogue, with a candidate saying it highlighted the need to vote out “hate.”

Polite is a self-identified queer black man who was taken in by a Jewish couple after his mother left him in “unsanitary” conditions. At a Barack Obama rally, he met then-New York city council speaker Christine Quinn, who hired him as an intern working on anti-hate crime issues and also called him the “adopted child of the Quinn administration,” according to a 2017 New York Times profile that said he “could defy the statistics.”

He obviously has bats flying in his belfry. How many such tragedies are waiting to happen as copycats?

Can’t say they didn’t ask for it with their virtue signaling.

Manslaughter, Arson, Hate Crimes — See All The Crimes Suspects In New York Now Get Released For Under Bail Reform

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — As New York celebrates the start of 2020, a host of new laws are taking effect at midnight — including one releasing scores of potentially dangerous suspects from jail and back onto city streets.

New York’s bail reform law eliminates pretrial detention and cash bail for the vast majority of misdemeanor and non-violent felony cases. Hundreds of offenses such as stalking, grand larceny, assault as a hate crime, and second degree manslaughter will no longer be eligible for bail or pretrial detention.

“They eliminated bail but they never put in the safeguard we need of allowing a judge to assess dangerousness and the result is we’ve got some glaring loopholes that will go into effect,” Mark Peters warned.

Does not seem very polite at all.

Don’t know where to start with this hot mess.

...set fire to seven Jewish sites and vandalized a synagogue, was released from jail without bail Tuesday

Compare to this a couple weeks ago...

Iowa Man Sentenced to 16 Years in Prison For Setting LGBTQ Flag on Fire

Now, admittedly, the headline was inflammatory and the Iowa guy DID set fire to a flag on the church and it WAS his third strike. I'm sure the New York suspect is going to be severely sentenced...IF he is found guilty. Count on it. SNORT!

There is also the new law in NYC that lets criminals know who their accusing witnesses are, allows them to visit the crime scene, and assuredly puts any witnesses in grave danger. This, of course, will discourage witnesses from reporting crimes so that DumblASSio, that amoral piece of walking excrement, can then crow about “lower crime stats” and then use that as a case to close Rikers Island so his real estate developer masters can make a super killing on the then-vacant piece of NYC land where the prison used to be. He is absolutely sick, diabolical, ready to take up residence in Hell. I got out just in time.

Nifty way to feed the “Antisemitism is on the rise” propaganda. That and keeping the poor folks who are oppressed by “white privilege” free on the streets.

Wow. Just...wow.
And in a city with strict gun “control” of law abiding citizens. Think they’ll be let out without bail when they violate the law by defending themselves?

What baffles me is, why hasn’t Big Bird been recalled?Is the citizenry asleep?

I’ve seen other reports of adopted kids killing their parents, most of them left wing virtue signaling types. So much for gratitude.

Commiepukes also havea strong fellow-feeling for criminals; they actually side with them over law abiding citizens. I used to wonder why this was so. A few reasons: one, they are criminals themselves, generally more white collar, but criminals nonetheless, and second, they hate moral absolutes, which the rule of law represents. And since they’re commiepukes, they side with societal collapse as that will usher in the Glorious Revoluion.

He was a Democrat staffer of a “hate crime” task force.

He was a naked DNC Brownshirt and it was sh!tty activity to slur the GOP in the election cycle.

Of course there is no charge.

DOJ needs to intercede. FBI can investigate hate crimes. His was a hate crime sure as any other. Even if it was a partisan stunt and criminal conspiracy.

How queer. You’d think that would be a requirement in an impeachment show trial.
