To everybody calling this “senseless” and a “tragedy”, I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but if your post history defends the inept, corrupt and useless politicians like Adams and Hochul that you and other such people in this city elected, who keep laws in place that coddle criminals and DAs in place who refuse to sentence them to consequences, who close their eyes to perpetuate this type of crime, your manufactured sympathy means nothing. You’re part of the problem.

This. Alvin Bragg easily won his election, and it's not like he was being coy about his position to give multiple chances to violent criminals. People knew what they were signing up for when they voted for him, or maybe they just saw the (D) next to the name who knows. Just one month before Martial Simon killed Michelle he was declared unfit for trial. Where is the accountability for the system overseen by elected officials who let him roam free? Where are the protests for accountability like in summer of 2020? People don't want to admit just how skewed by the media the causes they supposedly care about are. No media outlet is telling them to go after these officials so this poor father's eulogy to his daughter is just gonna be forgotten without inciting any positive change

Yup. The city would rather enable its cronies to steal from the ample social services funding and coddle the street people than actually do anything

You're part of the problem because you think all criminals are the same. You think locking people away will resolve these problems as society continues to produce more of the same violent dangerous unstable people.

If your post history isnt pushing for mental health services and reform in NYC and better / improved education (which is objectively proven to lower crimes) its because you dont actually give a fuck about helping people. You just care about their problem when it becomes your problem. The worst kind of people.
