New York City is often referred to as the greatest city in the world. I love the city, but the inmates have taken over the asylum there. Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg taken selective prosecution to new heights and NYC has become a legal sh*thole.
Bragg, who campaigned on getting Trump, ran roughshod over the law to do so. He circumvented the statute of limitations and managed to warp his case against Trump into a Federal felony over which he had no jurisdiction. He filed separate charges for each check written instead of collectively in order to elevate his chances of securing a guilty verdict and tried the case in a hostile venue and filtered out potential Trump supporters from the jury.
Bragg cares not for victims and good Samaritans and has no love for whites and Hispanics.
Bodega owner Jose Alba was attacked by Austin Simon in 2022 after Simon’s girlfriend promised revenge for being denied a snack.
The incident began at the Blue Moon Convenient Store in Upper Manhattan on July 1 when Simon’s girlfriend, who is not named, tried to buy a snack for her daughter but had her payment declined, according to a copy of Alba’s criminal complaint. She alleged in the complaint that Alba grabbed her daughter’s hand to take back the snack.
The girlfriend allegedly returned to the counter, knocked goods off the counter and left while yelling “my n—– gonna come down here right now and f— you up,” according to the motion to dismiss. She left the store and later returned with Simon several minutes later, the complaint states.
Simon soon arrived at the store and assaulted Alba. Alba grabbed a knife and stabbed Simon.
Simon’s girlfriend then stabbed Alba.
Bragg charged Alba with second degree murder. He did not file charges against the girlfriend. Following public outrage, a judge dismissed the charges, but not before Alba cooled his heels in Rikers.
This year Daniel Penny tried to protect his fellow subway passengers from Jordan Neely, who was threatening them. Witnesses said he yelled “Someone’s going to die today!”
Neely had a long prior history with the NYPD
Prior to his killing, Neely had a lengthy arrest record with New York police, a law enforcement source told CNN’s John Miller, including 42 arrests on charges including petty larceny, jumping subway turnstiles, theft, and three unprovoked assaults on women in the subway between 2019 and 2021.
Bragg and Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran decided to charge Penny with second degree murder and added other charges just for laughs. The jury was deadlocked on the manslaughter charge and normally the case would have been declared a mistrial and not likely to have been retried. Bragg and Yoran weren’t going to have that, so they asked a judge to drop the manslaughter charge so Penny could be found guilty of negligent homicide in what is called a “compromise verdict.” NY courts are not pleased with such verdicts.
Alvin Bragg has an ongoing project of making crime legal in NYC. In 2022, he downgraded 52% of felonies into misdemeanors. In 2023 60% were downgraded.
This is Dafna Yoran
You can’t make this up: Dafna Yoran is the Manhattan prosecutor currently throwing the book at Daniel Penny.
In 2019, she gave a reduced sentence to a black man who murdered an asian college professor as he was withdrawing cash from an ATM. She said that it was under the guise of “restorative justice” and ended up giving him 10 years for manslaughter after he was originally charged with murder. Now she’s attempting to imprison an innocent man who protected a group of people on the subway.
Some legal analysts, like Andrew McCarthy, believe Bragg is “strong-arming” a verdict:
McCarthy said that he believes Bragg’s strategy in the case against Penny was to push forward with two charges, manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, in order to maximize his chances in the court system.
…”This was not remotely a recklessness case, where it could be said that Penny wantonly disregarded an obvious risk of death,” he wrote. “There is evidence that Penny moved Neely into a position that would make breathing easier, waited for the police to come and fully cooperated with them, and did not even know Neely was dead when he voluntarily spoke to police and explained what happened — that he wasn’t trying to hurt Neely, just subdue him until the police arrived.”
This episode has clear overtones. The fact is had Neely been white or Penny black, there would be no case.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Bragg just another Worm in the Core of the Big Rotten Apple just like the rest of them
Of course, the usual racist suspects are lining up to turn a Penny acquittal into another “summer of love” riot and looting pogrom. Under Soros’ direction, the justice system in numerous cities have been turned upside down, protecting criminals while punishing the taxpaying citizens. Bragg and all those like him need to be removed from office, disbarred, prosecuted and given a taste of their own medicine.
Wonderful verdict. Case should never have been brought.
Agree 100%
It is the pile of Adamschitt Alvin Bragg that should be in jail.
The Demo-Rats don’t like it when a Armed American Citizen stops a Crime in Progress that’s why their stilling trying to get Armed Self Defense Banned in America since they lose a a lot of their Voters and Supporters that way
