No surprise but NYC drops the majority of the rioter and looters charges from 2020. Even those convicted get lesser charges

Charges against hundreds of NYC rioters, looters have been dropped

Sources in the DA’s offices insisted that in many cases, the evidence was not strong enough for proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

No suprise but isn’t this racist since the Jan 6th guys were hunted down and charges as terrorists? I guess we will see how this all plus out and yes I realize storming a capitol/government building is worse.

Disagree. Rioting against innocent people is worse. They’ve done nothing to you. They spent a lifetime building their business, and then you indiscriminately burn it down?

Capitol building shit was still wrong, but politicians have done plenty to piss people off that has effected their lives.

I'm not even sure I'd say it was wrong at this point.

Unwise maybe, but maybe not wrong.

Fair enough and I can certainly respect that point of view.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

Look at who has been elected recently in the ballots for NYS chamber and USA chambers out of NYC. I don’t really trust much of anything anymore honestly.

I put a small /s indicating sarcasm, but it's easily missed. I do not trust the people of NYC to do anything but more of what they have been doing. Ingrained in many is a sense that appeasement can get a bully to stop bullying you. It's never worked.

The government has damn near unlimited power to tax, spend and fine the DC rioters to recover their losses. Private citizens are limited to the extent of their insurance and often not fully compensated. Then their insurance premiums will go up.

and what of all the store owners that are out hundreds/thousands of dollars and probably out of business because assholes decided the business has insurance, and it doesn't matter.

These criminals destroyed a lifetime of work. for what? to get a free pass and walk away with no consequences? CRIME PAYS, AND IT PAYS WELL

Good , I hope those same criminals are right back out on the streets doing the same shit again soon. If you voted for the politicians that allowed for this shit to happen and then enacted the bail reform laws , you deserve exactly what you get.

Oh, they absolutely are back out committing crimes again. I'm sure they can't wait for the next police shooting to go rampaging again. I have zero sympathy for NYC.
