Mayor Eric Adams criticized former Governor Andrew Cuomo, stating his criminal justice reforms have led to increased recidivism in New York City. He claimed policies enacted in 2019, such as bail reform, have allowed repeat offenders to re-enter the streets, instigating a spike in felony assaults. Cuomo countered by blaming mental health issues and the influence of far-left groups for the failures of the system, arguing that existing laws aren't being utilized effectively to address the underlying problems.
You can't come back later and try to reinvent your life when you were in office already. The recidivism we're seeing in our city is because the laws that were passed by him.
There is a sentiment that involuntary institutionalization violates civil rights and civil liberties. I believe that there is, without due process, it does.
If a person is mentally ill, you do them no favor leaving them on the street. We're just returning them to the street. This is liberalism gone amuck.
Existing laws can help fix the revolving door of crime, but they simply aren't being used.
