Mamdani Will Effectively Legalize Minor Crime

Ever wonder what havoc would ensue if Black Lives Matter types took charge of the USA’s largest city? You are about to find out:

Democratic mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani and his comrades at the Democratic Socialists of America want to wipe out the enforcement of all misdemeanor offenses…

Misdemeanors in New York include theft of up to $1,000, drug possession, assault without a weapon, and drunk driving. These would be effectively legal.

“For all of the working class to achieve collective liberation we must constrain, diminish, and abolish the carceral forces of the state — from prisons and police themselves, to their manifestations in all forms throughout society,” according to the national party’s latest platform, adopted in 2021. …

The DSA has also pushed to slash arrests, gut prosecutors’ budgets, abolish cash bail and all forms of pre-trial detention, scrap electronic monitoring, and end imprisonment for parole violations.

The rabidly anti-cop Mamdani is on board:

Mamdani, a Queens assemblyman and member of the NYC chapter of the DSA and its endorsed mayoral candidate, has questioned the purpose of prisons and repeatedly called to roll back punishment on so-called “non-violent offenses” – both as an Albany lawmaker and in his Gotham mayoral campaign.

What is a nonviolent offense? Potentially, any offense:

“What violent crime is – is defined by the state,” [Madmani] said at a 2021 protest outside the Manhattan DA’s office to nix cash bail and shut down Rikers – a promise he’s still making. ” Violence is an artificial construction,” he said at the time.

Apply the broken windows theory to see where his policies will quickly lead.

If elected mayor, Mamdani can’t change state laws, but does have influence over how they’re enforced. He could force the NYPD to deprioritize certain arrests or pressure district attorneys not to prosecute certain cases – much like Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg did in his controversial “day one” memo telling staff to go soft on armed robberies and drug dealing.

Moonbattery has rotted NYC to the core. Mamdani is likely to win in a blowout. Any Americans left in the city are advised to get out immediately.
