Mark 13:12 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.

Important Takeaways:

  • So much for NYC’s ‘tough on crime’ new mayor: Ex-cop Eric Adams backs Manhattan’s ‘progressive’ new DA, Alvin Bragg, who won’t seek prison for most crimes and will downgrade felony charges in armed robberies and drug dealing
  • Offenses like marijuana misdemeanors, prostitution, resisting arrest and fare dodging will no longer be prosecuted.
  • Bragg instructed prosecutors to stop seek prison sentences for crimes except for homicides, assaults resulting in serious injury, domestic violence felonies, sex offenses, public corruption, and ‘major economic crimes
  • Robbers wielding guns or other deadly weapons to steal from stores and businesses will be prosecuted only for petty larceny
  • Convicts who are caught with weapons other than guns will have their charges downgraded to misdemeanors, as long as they are not also charged with more serious offenses
  • New Mayor Eric Adams, a former NYPD cop who swept into office on a campaign vow to crack down on soaring crime in the city, nevertheless expressed support for Bragg’s new polices at a Tuesday press conference, saying: ‘I like Alvin.’
