Jailbreak Is To Blame For Spike In NYC Crime, De Blasio Admits

On Monday, far-left New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio conceded that the recent high-profile surge in crime in New York City may, in fact, have something to do with New York state’s new deeply controversial “bail reform” law that de Blasio and his fellow leftist Democrats championed prior to its enactment.

“We had, for six years, steady decreases in crime across the board. There’s not a whole lot of other environmental things that have changed recently,” de Blasio said, as reported by the New York Post. “It sort of stands out like a sore thumb that this is the single biggest new thing in the equation and we saw an extraordinary jump.”

“Of course there’s always a possibility this is plain statistical variation, that happens sometimes,” the mayor added, the newspaper noted. “But I think it’s pretty clear that there’s only one new major piece in the equation.”

De Blasio did offer one concrete proposed reform to the “bail reform” law: Offering judges the discretion to impose pretrial detention upon those defendants deemed a bona fide public safety risk. I think judicial discretion should be clarified so that there are very clear checks and balances, so that we avoid any inkling of bias entering into the process, but I think a system predicated only on the question of flight risk misses the fact that there are some individuals who are just consistently, by their own actions, and by the proof of due process, consistently creat[ing] a threat to their neighbors,” he said. – READ MORE
