"New Yorkers are about to get what they voted for"

This is what they asked for. Probably not what they wanted. New Manhattan DA Claims Decriminalization ‘Will Make Us Safer’ in Memo to Staff.

Because nothing says "safety" like a breakdown in the Rule of Law.

Alvin Bragg, who was sworn in as Manhattan district attorney on January 1, sent a memo to his office on Monday calling for the “decriminalization/non prosecution” of crimes including marijuana possession, turnstile jumping, trespassing, resisting arrest, interfering with an arrest and prostitution.

So right off the bat, people will resist arrest. Why not? There is no downside. But wait, there's more.

The guidance calls for downgrading felony charges in cases including armed robberies and drug dealing.

So what do you suppose will happen to the number of armed robberies?

There is even more. He should be thrown out. The DA does NOT get to make the law. He is only supposed to ENFORCE the law.

Hat tip to The Other McCain - What ‘Social Justice’ Really Means, where the title to this post comes from.

How can anyone possibly justify this madness? Simple — just shout “racist” at anyone who complains. One marvels at the childishness of such reasoning, but this mentality is now the dominant force in Democratic Party politics, and no one’s life or property is safe wherever Democrats are in power.
