Mayor Bill de Blasio Celebrates Record Low Prison Population as Shootings Soar 277%
During a news conference, de Blasio claimed that allowing more criminals out on the street actually makes New Yorkers “safer.”

“We now have fewer people in our jails than any time since [World War II], and we are safer and better for it,” he said.

The numbers suggest otherwise.

Compared to last year’s figures, shootings in New York this week are up by a jaw-dropping 277 per cent.

Even before the recent riots, major crime in New York City had soared by 22 per cent thanks to bail reforms that allowed suspects to avoid jail and re-offend.

To add insult to injury:
While de Blasio presides over empty prisons and soaring crime having vowed to slash next year’s police budget by $1 billion dollars, he has also assigned no less than 27 cops working in shifts to protect a Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower.

Releasing the criminal element back on the street.
Shackling the police
Denying everyday citizens from being able to defend themselves
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!

Even the rats are mugging dinner guests at outside eateries.

Since there is all that free room in the NYC jails, perhaps they can find de Blasio a cell? :biggrinjester:
