Here’s an ironic coincidence. Almost simultaneously, a deranged individual was attacking people with a board near the Brooklyn Bridge on Wednesday, while Governor Kathy Hochul declared it to be Pretrial Probation and Parole Supervision Week in the Empire State. This decision seems like a good move on the surface since we all understand the importance of pretrial probation and parole, especially when incidents like the one at the Brooklyn Bridge occur. But there’s more to it. Hochul has also introduced a task force, which seems to be a go-to solution for clueless public policymakers. So, if your streets are filled with teenage gang members getting shot, commuters being battered, thieves constantly stripping store shelves, parks occupied by drug addicts, and a knife-wielding lunatic roaming Times Square, don’t worry! Governor Gaslight has created the State Council on Community Justice to study and address these problems.
Their mission is to “further improve the effectiveness and fairness of the state’s criminal justice system.” However, the last time Albany tried to address “fairness” in the criminal justice system was in 2018, and it resulted in a surge in violent crime, which continues to this day. This can be seen from the numerous memorials for murdered teenagers found across the state. These memorials highlight the consequences of distorting the English language to serve policy agendas. Everyone supports fairness in the criminal justice system in its true sense, which includes equal application of the law for both the accused and the victims. But when “fairness” is redefined to exclude the victims and prioritize racial and ethnic identities, street crime increases, leading to more of these somber memorials. It is often overlooked that African Americans and other minorities are disproportionately involved in street crime, and when taking this into account, the statistical disparities vanish. Tragically, the victims of street crime are predominantly African American and minorities.
This information is not new. It is widely known that increasing the age of criminal responsibility in 2017 led to a significant rise in youth crime. There was a 204% increase in violent youth crime and an 80% increase in teenage murders following that reform. The focus on teen violence is understandable given recent events, but it is not a new phenomenon. Just last week, three teenagers were shot during a gang-related dispute in Times Square, while earlier this month, attention was on a fatal stabbing in a shoplifting-plagued store. The next outrage is inevitable, and Kathy Hochul’s Council to Study the Possibility of Maybe Someday Putting a Few Truly Bad People in Prison adds a touch of comedy to the situation. Progressive New York entertaining the idea of filling up its relatively empty prisons is hilarious. While increased incarceration isn’t the sole solution, it proved effective in the past when innocent New Yorkers were preyed upon, benefiting African Americans and other minority groups. “Do the crime, do the time” is as fair and effective as it can get.
