All,
Please see the article below about our good friend and colleague from TFA, Mark Antal.
Unbelievable.
How does our society allow people like this to repeatedly do what they do to innocent people? Luckily, Mark as a former US Special Ops team leader could protect himself, move that attacker away from his young daughters, and restrain this guy til the police arrived (while wisely holding back from using deadly techniques he knows all too well).
How does the guy have all these arrests and still get released back onto the streets time after time after time? I get compassion for people with mental illness but what if it had been Mark’s daughters, who could not have fended this guy off? What if this happened to you? Or your wife? Or your mother/father kids? TOO MUCH!!!
It’s like my Governor Shapiro said the other day after some nutjob broke into his home and tried to burn down his house with him and his children inside and hoping to “beat him with a hammer”.
He said: “I don’t care which side of the political fence you are on. This is NOT acceptable.”
NYC (and other many communities) need a way more rational, effective and safe-for-its-residents policy than this “catch and release” IMHO.
This feels like Bizarro world.
Make it stop!
