Business owners and residents in New York City are expressing fury at the revelation that prosecutors have dropped looing and rioting charges against hundreds arrested during chaos that swept the city last summer.
After 603 were arrested in Manhattan and the Bronx during the most intense days of looting last June, 295 of the cases have been dropped completely, according to NYPD data reported by WNBC-TV on Friday.
Now Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr and Bronx DA Darcel D. Clark are facing tough questions about why hundreds walked free after the looting rampage caused an estimated tens of millions in damages.
You know what they say "They have insurance"

Hey, that's what happens when criminals (i.e., Democrats) take over the justice system. They release all the criminals and work like heck to jail the normals. But apparently New Yorkers are cool with that. They sure keep electing them.

unfortunately, most of it is the populous!

Number 5 I'm asking the same question...I understand there are outstanding warrants for him in some other country...where's Seal Team 6 or Mitch Rapp when you need them? But then apparently his son is just as bad....way too much money and way too much hate for one man...

Fury by the idiots who vote into office in every single election the communist death democrats who are destroying their own city, homes, streets, and freedoms. What in hell did they think was going to happen? Suicide by voting in communist death democrats at every level of the city government and incredibly in the coming mayoral election in NYC they will vote in someone as bad or worse that that evil, greedy clown De Blasio. I have breaking news to these furious business owners and residences - You think it is bad now, the worst is yet to come. Good Luck with that.
Suck it up New York Idiots. Actions (your vote) have consequences. Enjoy the fruits of your voting.

They should have known what to expect when they elected a Marxist DA backed by Georgie Sore nose, lawlessness and anarchy, and that's what they're getting, AKA, Black privilege.
In the meantime, a few days ago, hundreds of posh Manhattan residents met and pled that the DA do something to stop the nightly depravity in Washington Square Park - as revelers flock there to drink and smoke with no cops in sight, reports of lewd acts and rampant drugs, people coming from other neighborhoods to party late into the night, but no one is willing to do anything since it's a protected group.
Funny how most of these articles are from the UK. Our major cities are a mess and in deep decline but the MSM ignores. Liberals screw up everything.

The "case" is against Trump Org., not President Trump personally. If the IRS can't find any thing wrong with Trump Org. how is a city's DA?
Guess NYC DA can't walk and chew gum at the same time.

this is the highest form of dereliction of duty on display today. the law does not recognize political feelings or any such discriminatory behaviour and for any high ranking legal official to allow politics to interfere with the proper application of the law is beyond suspicious. vance is a political hack as was his father who was in the kennedy, johnson and carter administrations.

Meanwhile, 100’s of patriots who rallied in DC, were peaceful, stole nothing and did no damage to anything are rotting in solitary in DC jails, uncharged.
NYC is dying. All of the boarded up high end stores on Fifth Avenue are never coming back. Thousands of restaurants are never coming back. Who will risk life and limb to see a play in a theater near Times Square? Who wants to be assaulted in the subway or on a street corner? Who will take their children on a journey through the feces and syringes to go to a museum?
Let it die. Its death can be ruled a suicide.

This insatiable insanity driven pathological desire to destroy President Trump is the driving force behind the democrat party and its followers. It is quite simple if you think about it. The comucrats must create a monster in order to unite their base around this one enemy. It must at this point be one specific person. It is their target of hate at the moment, a dog whistle blown so that everytime his name is mentioned it creates anger and hate. They are very good at this and it is effective. This strategy has worked in the past for evil men who wish to attain great power over large groups of people. Everyone loves a bogeyman to fear.
Don’t believe for one moment that if they are successful in destroying President Trump that they will be satisfied. They will not. They never are. Next on their agenda will be his supporters. We already are seeing examples of the democrats willingness to ignore the Constitution and Bill of Rights in order to punish those who oppose them. This is a lawless corrupt administration whose agenda is more frightening that we could ever imagine. These are committed totalitarians and it is their intention to rule this country with an iron fist. Once they feel their power is consolidated, they will not hesitate to punish anyone who dares support our founding principles. As the President Trump has said on many occasions, “In reality they’re not after me. They’re after you. I’m just standing in the way.” Thank God President Trump is willing to take a stand for the country he loves and it’s people. He will not go down without a fight and neither should we. It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

When tax returns are audited by state and federal collection bureaus (multiple times) and then a persecution team is assembled to search for criminal intent. What does that say about the accounting, IT and audit professionals these agencies hired to review the thousands of pages of returns to the tax codes? Then every filer above a 1040EZ should be examined? That is the message!

Makes you question why the demonstrators in DC on Jan 6th are still in prison...they didn't loot and rob and burn...ah... WE know why... they're conservatives...and nervous nancy needs their testimony for her fake commission...perhaps she can flip them into saying anything she wants by threatening their families... sounds like Soviet Union practices...and of course... Pravda goes along with her....

As my wife and I arrive in Denver to be with her younger sister who is about to succumb to cancer, I wonder how much worse it will get in this world. Obviously, life is too short for what we are witnessing in today's political cesspool.

With the Democrats controlling the cities and voting machinery, I don't know whether the citizens are "electing" them, or not.

Let hundreds of real criminals go so you can make up fake charges and frame someone you consider a political enemy.
