Instead of being humbled by kindness and mercy due to no bail and NYC trying to keep jails empty as possible, criminals are - SURPRISE! - committing more crimes. Nevermind the Virus.

Cuomo implemented stay-at-home orders on March 20 that effectively force the closure of most businesses, except those deemed “essential,” to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Even with the lockdown, major crime categories such as murder, burglary, and auto theft have spiked across New York City.

Over the last 28 days, in the middle of the lockdown, murders in New York City have jumped more than 55 percent compared to this same time last year, when there were no lockdown orders in place.

Between April 13 to April 19, murders increased 100 percent compared to the same week last year. From year-to-date, murders are up by 5.7 percent.

Likewise, grand larceny auto — a crime that no longer warrants bail in New York — has increased more than 53 percent compared to last year. Specifically, there have been 500 charges for auto theft in the last 28 days. During that same time in 2019, there were 326 charges for auto theft.

Over the last week, grand larceny auto crimes across the city have jumped 50.5 percent and they are up more than 62 percent overall since the year before — the largest spike in crime year-to-date for any major category.

The lockdown has also not stopped the rise of burglary in New York City — another crime that in many cases allows the suspect to be released from jail without ever paying bail.

Burglaries are up by 25 percent in the last 28 days and up by more than 36 percent in the last week. From January 1 to April 19, burglaries are up 27.1 percent compared to this same time last year.

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea told local media that burglary suspects are getting “released immediately” from jail due to existing bail laws.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is begging New York City businesses to bring "everyone back in the office," or else, he warns, there will be a "devastating impact on the commercial market."

"Remember, we have to get people back and we have to get people back in volume. If you were to see a 15% decline of people coming back to New York City, that would have a devastating impact on the commercial market," Cuomo said.

The reality is that NYC has suffered immensely from the strict lockdown measures ordered by Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Ironically, he said these comments of returning to in-person life over a VIRTUAL meeting with the Association for a Better New York.

That pretty sums up New York's plans to return to normalcy: a lot of talk and not much action.

Does he not recognize how his policies contributed to this problem? Does he plan to rescind all those policies?


Lol.
