Tell me about it. This is a convicted felon who was also on parole. He beat up a guy and fractured his skull. Released without bail. No wonder Southern Brooklyn voted Republican.

Why are southern Brooklyn voters, voting Republican, over a crime committed in the Bronx?

The Bronx DA has no jurisdiction over Brooklyn.

I suspect they don't know that each borough has its own elected DA and Alvin Bragg isn't the only DA for all of us.

Correct.

Even the comments about Alvin Braggs be inaccurate. If everyone didn’t like what he was campaigning on, in favor of bail reform, then why didn’t they get the message out and vote against him. Instead they blame the people that voted for him without giving any context as to how those same voters, in favor of Braggs, are directly affected by cash-bails and the conditions of Rikers Island.
