Because it is unfair to keep violent offenders in jail. Or something. After 40 arrests, subway-worker attacker continues his crime spree
I'm guessing some of his victims think that continually turning him loose is unfair.
On Aug. 11, at The Bronx’s Pelham Bay Park station, he was harassing women. When transit worker Anthony Nelson came to help them, Wright brutally knocked him to the ground, breaking his shoulder and nose.
That is only one of the attacks.
If you guessed that Wright didn’t just “snap,” you’re right. Last year, he cold-cocked an Asian woman on a Chinatown street, sending her to the hospital. That was his 40th arrest.
So it isn't fair to keep him in jail. (The New York State assembly said so when they passed their No-Cash-Bail law.) So how about being fair to his victims? Or as the Post says, this is not a functioning Justice System.
Politicians are useless.
Lieber, the MTA chief, won’t directly address bail reform and other criminal-justice shortcomings. As Drummond astutely observed, his boss is Gov. Kathy Hochul, who claims that nothing is wrong.
And the few articles I've seen indicate that Hochul is likely to win reelection. Which means that things are going to worse, probably much worse, before they get better. Hey, the people of New York voted for this.
