NYC DA Stops Asking for Jail for These Crimes

Newly-installed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg instructed staff on Monday that his office will not seek pre-trial detention or prison sentences for crimes other than homicide, public corruption, and a few other exceptional cases….
Prosecutors can only request incarceration in “extraordinary circumstances” and must first receive approval from a supervisor.
Bragg was elected in November 2021 with indirect backing from left-wing billionaire George Soros, who gave $1 million to the Color of Change PAC, which spent to elect Bragg.
“Soros also donated $1 million to Alvin Bragg’s successful DA campaign in Manhattan, funneling the cash through the Color of Change political action committee, according to public filings,” the New York Post reported.
Soros has spend millions in recent local prosecutorial elections, often backing left-wing radicals against incumbent or moderate Democrats. His involvement has coincided with a massive rise in violent crimes in Democrat-run cities.
As Breitbart News noted last November:
Bragg ran a campaign centering around his pro-jailbreak agenda that seeks to end prosecutions for what he calls “minor offenses” such as marijuana misdemeanors, turnstile jumping, trespassing, driving with a suspended license, prostitution, resisting arrest for non-criminal offenses, and obstructing the work of the New York City Police Department.
Likewise, Bragg has said he will reduce “mass incarceration” by recommending no more than 20-year maximum prison sentences “absent exceptional circumstances.” Bragg, notably, plans to ensure jail release for all suspects accused of crimes in Manhattan except in homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, and felony sex crime cases…
The White House has refused on comment on the effect that Democrats’ “criminal justice reforms” have had at the state and local level in fueling a national crime wave.
Instead, Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki boasted Tuesday of the many executive actions that President Joe Biden had taken in 2021 to stop “gun violence,” without noting the contemporaneous rise in violent crime.
Do you think policies like this are related to the rise in crime? How are you praying?

Rudy Giuliani lowered the murder rate in NYC when he was police commissioner by daisy-chaining turnstile jumpers in handcuffs. I tremble to see what will happen to crime levels of every kind with this approach. I’ve lived in NYC since 1993, and I’ve watched it go from seedy to solid, but this style of leadership is not taking us in a good direction.
Lord, bring Alvin Bragg to a place of humility we pray! May he repent of this reckless approach!
This is another case of a sin sick DA. Pray that God will meet him head on.
The Bible says the LOVE of money is the root of evil. Money is a tool given to us by our Father to do His work. I pray for those who do not believe in God to come to know the redeeming love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Lord Jesus we know you hate evil, but love the sinner. Our government seems to punish the innocent and let the evildoer go. Our government has become corrupt. Weed out the evil and those who take advantage of the weak. Give those in authority over us, a change of heart and repentance for their evil. Give our government wisdom and fortitude to fight EVIL in our country and protection for the weak and poor. Give those who see evil the courage to report it, so that the evil may be called to account for their evil.
Amen!
