Just because we don’t adequately treat addiction as a disease doesn’t mean we should continue to treat it as a crime.

Predictably, this sub’s response: “but then how will I put addicted people in jail where they certainly won’t become less addicted?

The NYC press has been more generous to Adams than most every other mayor this century.

Amazing how even in a thread about pedestrian deaths that the conservatives managed to shift the conversation to bail reform and subways, evading the point entirely.

Your leap from "reckless driver" to "car thief" seemed to purposely miss a few other probable explanations for why crashes occur in order to reach your desired conclusion in every thread (bail reform and Bragg = bad).

Is there anything you haven't tried to blame on bail reform yet?

He wants them beat with closed fists by police officers, actually.

So... you're telling everybody else to stop exposing the continued lies because you've seen enough and any more exposure makes you uncomfortable. I don't see at all how this constitutes bigotry. It's nobody else's fault that calls for accountability make you uncomfortable.

His removal by voters in a recall is quite seriously not constitutional. And we recognize that you just want that mechanism so you can remove your least favorite leadership on the left in a tit-for-tat, as you've made clear yourself.

I'm sorry that questioning if a known liar is continuing to be dishonest is somehow an unethical approach for you. Most reasonable people can see past this and recognize it's just more right-wing drivel from you. Deflect, deflect, and deflect from the actual exposed grifting and blame the left for having the gall to ask these questions in the first place.

You’re literally calling people bigots for questioning him on things he obviously misrepresented. People can have whatever opinions they want about those the things he’s done and the punishment he may receive for them while also find lying about them totally unacceptable for a Congressman. Try that for nuance.

Nuance =/ mean totally distorted use of statistics. You’ve been called out on this multiple times and can really only be assumed to be a bad faith actor at this point.

Hope this bigotry point catches on for you, though. Santos is definitely the type of upstanding figure whose lies should be tolerated, and you’re just the right person to advocate for him.

We have already had a ballot and will have another one. You’re conservative and aware of the fact that conservatives use recalls to take advantage of low turnout which represents the will of the people significantly less. This was the blueprint in San Francisco.

Just because it gives you the outcome you want doesn’t mean it represents the will of the people. Regular elections do that just fine.

“It’s bigoted to ask if a liar is lying” is definitely a new one. Hope it works out for you. I’m going to put that up there with you blaming AOC for BLM protests, your unfounded conspiracy theory that there was a mass murder coverup on Riker’s Island, and your insistence that crime in New York City is so much worse than smaller cities (despite the fact it is significantly less per capita here) simply because the density of the city is higher.

Reminder that I work in the law. Your are not personally Bragg’s client and you don’t get to terminate him from office on behalf of Manhattan just because your feelings are hurt. He’s an elected official. Try it in an election.

You’re absolutely correct. Also worth noting this user has been pretty open about their affinity for recalls coming from the particular desire to push out the Manhattan DA whose policies they don’t care for because they’re not right-wing “hard-on-crime” enough.

It’s amazing how far you are willing to bend all sense and logic to defend a proven pathological liar from scrutiny and criticism.

Being skeptical if somebody who has lied about everything is telling the truth is in no way irrational. It’s pretty much why most regular users in this sub are skeptical about many of the things you say here, too— because you lie and manipulate the truth. Frequently.

Please point out the gloating.

So… no, we don’t have a study, just vibes.

If you say so then that must totally be the case.

In no way, shape, or form would the presence of guns have improved this situation.

Remember when we predicted this would happen and users here were insistent it wouldn’t? And when people insisted these guards should have guns?

clap if you’re surprised

You weren’t thrown onto the tracks. Nobody was thrown onto the tracks yesterday. You’re blowing this problem out of proportion.
