Cashless bail, like peaceful war or hateful love, is a contradiction in terms. What it actually means is a revolving door in which criminals are out almost as soon as they’re arrested.
Here’s a poster boy for cashless bail in New York City.
A career crook Mayor Adams once dubbed “Recidivist No. 1” and the symbol of NYC’s revolving-door justice system is still circling back on crime — his staggering rap sheet is now 134 arrests long, The Post has learned.
Harold Gooding landed on the front page of The Post in August 2022 as the person atop the NYPD’s “Worst of the Worst” list of repeat offenders — and he only had 101 arrests at the time.
He’s been busted another 33 times in the 33 months since that report, records show.
He’s not alone. Criminals are let gone as soon as they’re arrested and then they commit more crimes.
A serial shoplifter who’s been arrested nearly 100 times was busted in Times Square after resorting to his old ways — on the same day was released from jail, authorities and sources said.
Christopher Dornfeld, 33, was let loose after his most recent arrest and expected to report for residential treatment, but when he didn’t show up, police caught the shoplifting recidivist allegedly stealing $267 worth of merchandise from an H&M in Times Square Wednesday night, according to cops and prosecutors.
Some are violent and dangerous criminals.
A career criminal with nearly three dozen prior arrests — including attempted murder — slashed a Manhattan cafe worker in the neck when the employee tried to give him the boot Wednesday afternoon, cops said.
Cashless bail is a pro-crime measure, it’s a dangerous fraud fueling a massive crime wave.
That telling number includes perps who’d been nabbed for violent felonies, then rearrested and released for committing new crimes.
And get this: Nearly half (49.3%) were hauled in for new felonies — a quarter (26.2%), violent ones.
Per NYPD stats, just 327 people were responsible for 30% of city shoplifting arrests in 2022. Bail reform created a revolving door for these repeat offenders, and retail theft is now killing shops large and small across Gotham.
President Trump is right to end ‘cashless bail’. It’s not about ‘defunding the police’, it’s about reopening the prisons. Public safety won’t ever return until criminals are behind bars.
When criminals are out as soon as they’re arrested, crime never ends.
Is it too much to ask for you to take a topic you write about seriously, and actually take into account the facts on the ground?
“The story of violent crime in the United States over the past decade is one of turbulence against a backdrop of historic calm. While the long-term trend since the early 1990s has been a dramatic and sustained decline, the period from 2015 to 2024 was marked by concerning increases, followed by an unprecedented spike in 2020 and an equally remarkable reversal in the years since.”
Your work would be much more valuable, Daniel, if you took the time to inform yourself on the topics you cover and less searching for whatever snippet of news conveniently fits your propagandistic aims.
What caused that “unprecedented spike in 2020”?
The trend since the 1990s was caused by broken-windows policing and tough-on-crime policies.
Pro-crime policies began gathering steam in the teens leading to large scale prison releases and weakened sentencing for new criminals. By 2020, BLM and mass jailbreaks led to a massive crime wave.
After that, crime could only go down.
If you want to inform yourself on these subjects and more, go read my articles.
You cannot be serious about using the word “seriously.”
Facts on the ground, indeed. Your ‘reversal’ was just a statistical sham.
Is it too much to ask for you to stop sucking dicks? At least for one day. Damn, I guess I have to give you credit for being a die-hard chomo.
Bring back 3 strikes and out for life.
Career criminals never change. Keep them out and away from the society.
When it comes to terrorism, make it one strike and out for life. Any charge related to terrorism should get automatic life sentence.
That’s the only correct way to deal with the criminals and terrorists.
You are right about 3 strikes. I was scrolling down to make a post about it but will put it here. The movement started less than a mile from my house here in Fresno when a young woman was murdered standing with her family outside an upscale restaurant. The murders were two guys on a motorcycle who just got out of prison. Her enraged father who witnessed it came up with the 3 strikes idea (and use a gun and you are done) and campaigned for it tirelessly.
At the time I owned some apartment buildings in some pretty rough parts of town so I was down in the hood all the time. You could feel the danger. My crew of maintenance guys and tenants use to talk about it all the time. There were all these cholos and brothers walking the streets with their pit bulls looking for trouble. Not safe places.
After 3 strikes it totally changed over night and it stayed that way until the left’s compassion for criminals movement ended. it.
My properties are now in better areas and none but my house are in California. Too may anti landlord laws.
Couldn’t happen to a more corrupt and deserving people. When marketing, marketers use the country boy southern draw to convey honesty and the New Yorker Yankee screeching to convey dishonesty.
Recht und Ordnung! Ya Gotta Love It.
Does President Trump have the authority to end cashless bail, to intervene in a city’s administration?
In my former city, the percentage of the population committing violent street crimes was down around the 1% level, and the police knew who they were.
I should live there.
The only good thing about San Jose is all the pussy here.
