Unless you get all your news from NPR and PBS, you have undoubtably seen videos of citizens (and non-citizens) behaving badly. Gangs organize smash and grab raids of high end retailers, or liquor stores. In California shoplifting goods valued at less than $950 is a misdemeanor, and our DA’s don’t prosecute misdemeanors, unless the deed involves a suspected MAGA person.
And then there was this recent event in New York City…
A group of recently arrived asylum seekers (aka illegal aliens) took umbrage at some NYPD officers, and attacked them. It was all caught on security cameras, and several of the perps were arrested. One of the arrestees showed his opinion of the justice system in his new home country where he seeks asylum.
The arrestees were, incredibly, released without posting bail. I’m sure they were ordered to report to court to face charges and told not to leave the city. But several of them were taken into custody at a bus station in Phoenix, reportedly on their way to the Sanctuary State of California. Gavin’s arms are open…
Alvin Bragg has plenty of time to go after Donald Trump, but not enough to detain illegals who assault police. New York is the bluest of blue states, but even their governor said to Alvin ‘You got some ‘splainin’ to do’.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, said at a news conference Friday that she wanted to speak with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg about why most of the suspects were released without bail. She said prosecutors should have sought to keep them behind bars.
The story gets even better. What were these asylum seekers doing to pass the time in the Big Apple? Some jobs Americans won’t do? Not many lawns to mow in Manhattan, but lots of restaurants need dishwashers. They could even get a driver’s license and go to work for Amazon. We give those to people here illegally, along with health care and housing assistance and free cell phones. After all, these poor immigrants are all good and decent people who are only seeking a better life, right? (BTW, that is not a sufficient condition to meet the legal test for granting asylum, but that is another blog post).
No, these enterprising young men found a way to work toward the American Dream…
The illegal immigrants who fled to California after allegedly assaulting a pair of New York City police officers are part of a wider conspiracy of stealing phones to make lavish purchases in their home countries, according to a New York Post report.
What happens is that a Mexican gang boss, who I assume is in the country legally, recruits the new arrivals to steal phones which this tech wizard uses to purchase goods for delivery back home, probably from Amazon. There are some truly terrifying videos of thugs on mopeds running into women and grabbing their purses, sometimes dragging them along the pavement in the process.
Which brings us to the title of this blog. It is a topsy turvy world we are living in, so let us turn to the masters of topsy turvy-dom, William S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan.
My object all sublime I shall achieve in time
To let the punishment fit the crime – The punishment fit the crime;
And make each prisoner pent Unwillingly represent
A source of innocent merriment! Of innocent merriment!
What we need are fewer DA’s like Alvin Bragg and George Gascon and a host of others funded by George Soros, and more Mikados.
Where is a Lord High Executioner when you need one?
