The stories behind Alvin Bragg's failures

Alvin Bragg’s disastrous tenure as Manhattan’s DA – due in large part to his warped priorities and far-left agenda – has hurt thousands of New Yorkers as crime surges. Some of the stories are truly horrific. Below are just a few of the headlines and reports.

Bragg has downgraded 52% of felony cases to misdemeanors, far more than his predecessor. Bragg has a history of going soft on violent criminals in New York City. Just look at these headlines:

• Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg under fire for going soft in violent attack on NYC nurse – 2/16/23
  • “Valentino Tablang, 55, a registered nurse at Mount Sinai Morningside, was so violently slugged by a deranged patient on Feb. 7 that he told The Post he feared he might be blinded. Yet Bragg’s office filed only slap-on-the-wrist misdemeanor charges in the case — despite a state law that prescribes felony raps in on-the-job attacks on healthcare workers.”
• Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg defends ‘sweetheart deal’ in NYC anti-Semitic attack – 2/1/23
  • “Bragg’s office is offering a sweetheart plea deal to a suspect charged in the brutal anti-Semitic beating of a Jewish man in Midtown.”
• DA Alvin Bragg cuts break for women allegedly caught on video attacking NYPD cops – 6/23/22
  • “Bragg cut a break for two women who allegedly attacked NYPD cops in a wild caught-on-video assault — letting one of them off the hook and downgrading the charges for the other.”
• Serial NYC shoplifter who’s dodged jail nabbed for another 27 heists – 12/27/22
  • “A serial shoplifter who has skirted jail time despite dozens of busts was arrested yet again this week — and accused of 27 new heists at Manhattan pharmacies.”
• Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg lowers charges in grand larceny case: sources – 2/19/22
  • “Bragg allegedly reduced charges for a brazen career crook who stole cash from an unsuspecting woman on the Upper East Side, only to be quickly nabbed by cops who saw the whole thing…[the suspect] had 46 prior arrests on his rap sheet and was on parole when he was caught by the NYPD.”

Bragg has let violent criminals off the hook, only for them to be later arrested for other crimes:

• Suspect who caught a break from Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg held on bail in sanitation worker attack – 2/10/22
  • “A serial suspect who saw his felony robbery charge downgraded by the [Bragg’s] Office last month was finally ordered held on bail Thursday after allegedly punching a city sanitation worker.”
• Reputed NYC gangster out on sweetheart deal arrested again after allegedly mugging teen – 2/17/22
  • “A reputed gang member who was let off the hook for multiple felonies by [Bragg’s] Office used his second chance to allegedly mug a 14-year-old boy and pack a pistol on a playground.”
• DA Alvin Bragg cut deals that freed NYC career criminal — who then punched woman in random attack – 6/16/22
  • “The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office cut a sweetheart deal with a career criminal that let him off with a slap on the wrist … [the suspect] was charged with grand larceny in April — but was allowed to plead down to misdemeanor petty larceny rap and walked out without any jail time.”
• Suspected thief arrested for attempted rape of girl, 15, months after Bragg reduced charges – 8/25/22
  • “A creep set loose without bail after [Bragg’s] Office downgraded his robbery charges was arrested again months later for trying to rape a 15-year-old girl in a horrifying attack in The Bronx.”

  • “A man accused of raping his teenage relative secured a sweetheart plea deal from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg — and then went on to allegedly sexually terrorize five people in the Bronx just a month later.”

Bragg should be keeping New Yorkers safe, not abusing his power to pursue political prosecutions.
