Last week brought not one but at least three reminders of the carnage revolving-door justice inflicts on the city, even as voters seem poised to elect a huge fan of \u201cdecarceration\u201d as mayor.<\/p>\n

Accused machete-wielding Bronx attacker<\/a> Timothy Bohler, alleged Brooklyn subway-beating maniac<\/a> David Mazariegos and accused Manhattan subway slasher<\/a> Demitri Marshall all kept getting sprung despite escalating violent offenses.<\/p>\n

Bohler, a career criminal with 45 prior arrests, stands accused of chopping off a stranger\u2019s fingers in a vicious attack over a dog. And he faces new charges in a fatal hit-and-run that killed a cancer survivor last year<\/a> \u2014 while on supervised release from prison.<\/p>\n

Sentenced to six years for the attempted murder of a deli clerk, he received a conditional release after four, then dodged jail twice last year after charges in separate Bronx domestic violence and rape cases got dropped.<\/p>\n

Mazariegos reportedly confessed to beating a security guard to death<\/a> in a vicious subway-station plummeling; he was out on $1,000 bail for a similar assault outside a Chelsea theater in June<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The judge in the earlier case actually noted, \u201cThe severity of [his alleged crimes] is increasing over time,\u201d but found his hands tied by the laws as he set the low bail after prosecutors reduced the charges from a felony to a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

He has some 33 prior arrests, with a history of criminal cases dismissed due to his mental-health issues and is listed in the MTA\u2019s transit recidivist database.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been through multiple supposedly therapeutic programs, including an \u201canimation project internship\u201d and six weeks of a Youth Justice Network rehab effort for at-risk male youth that includes boxing lessons.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear if those boxing lessons helped him pummel Italian immigrant Nicola Tanzi to death.<\/p>\n

\"DavidMazariegos has 33 prior arrests, with many criminal cases being dismissed from his mental-health issues.<\/p>\n

Demitri Marshall, charged in a random slashing outside a Lower East Side subway<\/a> (seven stiches for the victim), was due to be jailed on $50,000 cash bail last month after a similar attack in The Bronx \u2014 but the judge opted to cut him loose.<\/p>\n

Though he was a repeat offender with a stint in state prison under his belt, Judge Ralph Wolf was swayed by the defense\u2019s claims that he had \u201ccommunity ties\u201d and was enrolled in a drug-treatment program \u2014 plus Marshall\u2019s vow to \u201cstay out of trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

All this is the fruit of a half-decade of misguided criminal-justice reforms and a political culture that produces soft-on-crime judges \u2014 both of them the product of the progressive \u201cdecarceral\u201d movement that insists jail and prison are the wrong approach to even serial violent criminals, even as it offers no better way to protect the public.<\/p>\n

To ensure the courts can\u2019t jail most perps, progs are intent on replacing the Rikers Island complex with four smaller replacements \u2014 and Zohran Mamdani wants<\/a> Rikers to close by 2027 even though none of the new jails will be built yet.<\/p>\n

In the Legislature, he\u2019s voted for every possible bill to reduce sentences, promote early releases, divert criminals to \u201calternatives\u201d to incarceration and so on.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America, whose Agenda for Decarceration includes not just closing Rikers without replacements, but also abolishing the NYPD\u2019s gang database and \u00a0decriminalizing \u201csex work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Timothy Buhler, David Mazariego and Demitri Marshall all should\u2019ve been locked away before they grew more violent, but Mamdani wants to triple-down on the philosophy that encouraged them to grow worse.<\/p>\n

New Yorkers who want a safer city need to vote against him and his perilous agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last week brought not one but at least three reminders of the carnage revolving-door justice inflicts on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8794,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[357,4190,303,7589,304,473,9,11,10,49,51,50,299,1083,1687,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-8793","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-assaults","9":"tag-bail","10":"tag-crime","11":"tag-criminal-justice-reforms","12":"tag-editorial","13":"tag-hit-and-run","14":"tag-new-york","15":"tag-new-york-headlines","16":"tag-new-york-news","17":"tag-new-york-state","18":"tag-new-york-state-headlines","19":"tag-new-york-state-news","20":"tag-opinion","21":"tag-rikers-island","22":"tag-subways","23":"tag-zohran-mamdani"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8793\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8794"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
