wait so you can hire someone to kill
your wife
and consent
for the killer to be released
okay
sonny
i know your divorce did not go the way
that you wanted it to
no
no sorry sonny voted for this [ __ ] da
didn't he hey everybody how's it going i
think it's very important that a lot of
the people that are asking certain
questions in my comments read the source
document that they're referring to so a
question i've been getting all the time
now is what do you think of the new new
york city district attorney saying that
he is not going to prosecute all of
these lower level crimes what do you
think of the fact that somebody may be
able to get away with burglary or
robbery and not get prosecuted at all
and that's been a lot of what's in my
comments that's not exactly true they
are still going to be prosecuted but
there will be the opportunity to be
prosecuted as lower offenses to be clear
i'm not saying i agree with it but what
i wanted to do was read how it was being
reported in the news read how it was
being reported in my comments and then
read the actual memo i think it is very
important when it comes to things like
this that you have a strong distrust for
commentators and a strong distrust for
the news especially a strong distrust
for me what you should trust is the
primary source document that everybody
else is referring to so don't trust me i
don't know what the hell i'm talking
about i'm not a legal scholar i don't
know anything about the justice system
don't trust the news read the source
documents and figure it out for yourself
so i thought it would may be interesting
if we read the news and then we we read
the source document and just try to dig
into what it is that the policy actually
let's see new york city district
attorney
recent statement let's see what we got
here daily news pick cnn what should i
trust here you know what i'll read cnn's
take just because i want to see what the
left-leaning take on this is so the more
so that nobody accuses me of a bias
among crimes bragg said his office would
not prosecute marijuana misdemeanors
that makes sense who who cares
i don't give a [ __ ] if you smoke wow
like as long as you're not driving i
don't care not paying public
transportation fair
[ __ ] the mta you have people making four
hundred thousand dollars by scamming
overtime if they're allow if the people
who work at the mta can scam the mta why
can't i trespassing except a fourth
degree stalking charge okay that's kind
of not cool resisting arrest uh
obstructing governmental administration
what does that even mean though what's
the backstory on the chair it's a
[ __ ] chair why do people keep asking
that what is the story of your chair
there's no story it's a [ __ ]
inanimate object you go to amazon.com
you would add the card it shows up you
sit in it like that's the third time
that got asked in the scream and thank
you i appreciate the five dollars but
what what do you mean story it's it's
a chair it's like what's the story of
this water container what's the story of
this remote control this is a story i
used to turn [ __ ] on and off
misdemeanor offenses that are legally
required to be given a desk appearance
ticket will be offered diversion or
community-based programs intended to
help an offender
he wants to reserve pre-trial detention
for very serious cases by pre-trial
detention you mean people going to jail
what's that language pre-trial detention
you mean people going to jail okay so
for what uh he intends to limit underage
defendants in adult courts brag also
outline a policy to request a partially
unsecured bond in the same amount as
cash bail required safety is paramount
new yorkers deserve to be saved from
crime and safe from the dangers posed by
mass incarceration okay so let's i'm
going to continue reading this article
focus is on reducing recidivism
police officers don't want to be sent
out to enforce laws the district
attorneys won't prosecute pba president
patrick ling said in a statement on cnn
and already too many people who believe
that they can commit crimes resist
arrest and if you're a police officer
and face your consequences so the
resisting arrest thing like i get it you
know
not prosecuting that is going to
embolden people to to like say
i'm arresting you [ __ ] [ __ ] you know
like just punching the cop and getting
away uh let's see these policy changes
make us safer they'll also free up
prosecutorial resources to focus on
violent crime the da wants to invest in
alternatives to incarceration like what
like his focus will be on accountability
not sentence length research is clear
after blah blah blah do it d.a won't
prosecute so they can claim low crime
rate well again what is it that they're
not prosecuting i want to read the whole
art so like in the beginning here it's
talking about again marijuana
misdemeanors to be clear i don't give a
[ __ ] if you smoke weed like i genuinely
don't care it's not my [ __ ] business
i fundamentally don't care if you smoke
weed or sell weed as long as you are not
smoking weed while driving at 120 miles
an hour i really genuinely don't care
it's just fundamentally like it's not my
business if you smoke weed and like you
know the idea of people still getting
arrested for it just seems so ridiculous
not paying public transportation fare
i'm like again marijuana misdemeanors do
not give a [ __ ] not paying public
transportation fare listen if you live
if you don't live in new york city you
don't get how the mta [ __ ] rips you
off every day you give them two bottle
you get a 275 or 250 i don't know i've i
used an unlimited metro card from 2011
onwards so i honestly don't even know
what it costs without the unlimited to
get there
uh neither of the above neither of the
above yeah i would say neither of the
above but like the mta rips you off on a
regular basis once you have waited in
between subway stops or like where you
literally can't get out for an hour
because of issues with the rail or you
get on there and like the train that you
thought was gonna work they just
announced after 40 minutes is not coming
trust me [ __ ] the mta [ __ ] them in the
ass hard again like so i don't really
think i don't really give a [ __ ] about
this trespassing nah [ __ ] that like
prosecute [ __ ] trespassing prosecute
trespassing that's [ __ ] i'm glad you
treat your employees with respect i
wouldn't go that far i don't say i treat
them with respect i think i'm um
i i wouldn't say that
you're going a little too far there i um
i provide them with con i provide the
best people that i find with enough
compensation that i'm satisfied that
they will not go elsewhere but i would i
would i wouldn't give myself that much
credit and uh resisting arrest yeah like
again this is gonna result in people
just thinking i can punch a cop while
i'm trying to while they're arresting me
and try to get away and nothing bad will
happen to me obstructing governmental
administration what does that mean i
mean honestly this means that like half
of the people that i've been on the
phone with with the department of
consumer affairs would be getting
prosecuted like what does obstructing
governmental administration mean
like because again the average person
that works for the new york city
government is obstructing governmental
administration so i mean we get from
this description here among the crimes
brag again you know here cnn says among
the crimes he said he would not
prosecute this is not a list of all of
them this is not a so this tells me over
here that this is not a list of all of
them so maybe cnn is just listing the
crimes that um
you know that seem like that you
shouldn't be in jail for so this is why
we uh we click multiple results on
google so let's take a look at pix11 i
don't know one policy outline crimes
that would not seek a carceral sentence
okay so the first thing i got to do
because i'm an idiot what the [ __ ] is a
carceral sentence
you're using
okay suggesting jail or okay so this is
[ __ ] so here's the thing
this is the second time this has
happened in the cnn article there was a
word that got used that was a little
confusing why are you using the word
carceral sentence just say you're not
going to put them in prison so
they are not going to seek a castle or
sentence what that means is that you're
not going to go to prison so one policy
outline crimes the da's office would not
for cases other than homicide or serious
felonies okay define serious failing
serious felonies like domestic violence
some sex crimes holy corruption and
major economic crimes would still have
jail times as a possible sense i'd
honestly like to just read the [ __ ]
policy i don't want to read cnn's
interpretation because again cnn's is
saying
among the crimes okay growing up in
harlem in the 80s i saw every side of
the criminal justice system from a young
age before i was 21 years old they had a
gun pointed at me six times three by
police officers
and three by people who were not police
officers i had a knife to my neck
semi-automatic gun to my head homicide
victim at my doorstep in my adult life i
have posted bail for family please have
a cookie i can't eat a cookie too many
carbs last year during a stretch of
multiple shootings within three blocks
of my home perhaps the most sobering
experience my life seemed through the
eyes of my children the aftermath of a
shooting directly in front of my home
our home as we walked together past
yellow crime scene tape
seemingly countless shell casings and a
gun just to get home in large part
because of these experiences i have
dedicated my career to the inextricably
linked goals of safety and fairness this
memo sets out charging bail plea and
settling policies that will advance both
goals data and my personal experiences
show that reserving incarceration for
matters involving significant harm will
make us safer these policies are
premised on
several key principles invest more in
diversion and alternatives to
incarceration
sounds
i can't tell you why my gut i say aunt
but there's nothing bad yet
well-designed initiatives that support
stabilized people particularly
individuals in crisis and youth can
conserve resources reduce reoffending
and diminish the collateral harms of
criminal prosecution alright
particularly given the ongoing crisis at
rikers you must reserve pre-trial
detention for very serious cases the
data showed the overwhelming majority of
these released pre-trial do not commit a
violent crime while at liberty
[Music]
i don't know about your data man
studies show that how did you get that
data studies show that even three days
in jail can lead to a loss of housing
employment and strain on family
connections and increase the likelihood
of failure to appear in court
understandable again if you're in prison
your employer will probably find a
replacement for you studies also
indicate that incarceration of itself
can create public safety risks
i i don't know about that okay again i
could read this stuff i don't i'm gonna
barely have time to read this thing much
less the study but i'll bookmark this
focus on accountability not sentence
length research is clear that after a
certain length longer sentences do not
set a crime or result in greater
communal safety
community safety further because
survivors and victims of crime often
want more than the binary choice between
incarceration and no incarceration we'll
expand our use of restorative justice
programming look i don't know what this
word means and again i have to read a
citation to figure it out restorative
justice programming sounds
limit youth in adult court
research shows that brain development
continues up to age 25 youth are
physiologically subject to more
impulsive behavior and are still capable
of growth and maturization prosecuting
youth in our adult criminal court system
can lead to recidivism making
neighborhoods less safe i imagine
prosecuting youth in an adult criminal
court would lead to them
being in prison for long periods of time
but
again like when they say that your brain
doesn't really finish maturing until
you know a later age i get it but again
i i know a lot of people from high
school i know people from high school
that were just kind of sociopaths that
did a lot of [ __ ] up [ __ ] and you know
i i catch up with them and in my late
20s or early 30s
they change a little bit you know again
all sorts of people all sorts of people
change but the people that were
genuinely [ __ ] up in the head like the
people that actually enjoyed the
suffering of others to the point where
they would just punch a woman on the
street
there's i haven't noticed a lot of
change from the age of 16 or 30.
i imagine that that's probably the wrong
thing to say but like some people are
just [ __ ] and i just don't see it
changing from the age of 16 to 25. your
brain changes it does you know the way
that you deal with um
the way that you express your impulsive
thoughts does change it but but there
are some things where it's just
yeah i i feel like i'm not driving with
this guy and
and but but again i don't see anything
here that leads to you know we're only
pro we're not prosecuting you unless you
unless you murder people yet i haven't
i'm not i'm not to that part yet because
that's been showing up my youtube
comments a lot and i don't see anything
that serious
actively support those re-entering
supporting those re-entering returning
from incarceration reduces recidivism
and thereby makes community safer we
will scale up support for our services
for those re-entering and participate
thank you cassidy for the sweet mercy
participate substantively in the parole
process
with a presumption in favor of release
please note that a number of the
policies set forth below create
presumptions requiring supervisory
approval and our writing to overcome
these policy changes blah blah blah blah
blah okay what do we have let's get to
the fun [ __ ] charging the office will
not prosecute the following charges
unless it's part of an accusatory
instrument containing at least one
felony marijuana again don't give a [ __ ]
unapologetic about it i don't [ __ ]
care prosecuting people from marijuana
misdemeanors is a [ __ ] waste of time
and money and effort and everything i
don't give a [ __ ] what you smoke in your
house the act of refusing to pay the
fair in public transportation don't give
a [ __ ] if anything prosecute the people
that run the [ __ ] mta first not us
for
not paying for the [ __ ] service trespass
pl under the trespass is a family
offense
okay
trespass
i mean if if you're trespassing come on
man like if you're trespassing you no
i'm not with it so this like yeah you
prosecute people who are trespassing
aggravated unlicensed operation note
that any vehicular collision okay what
is aggravated unlicensed operation i
actually don't know what that is because
i'm an ignorant fool so let's let's see
aggravated unlicensed operation motor
vehicle there's a traffic light of
defense which in simple terms means you
were caught by the police driving
knowingly with revo okay i know a lot of
people doing that so essentially there's
a lot of people that drive like crazy
and then they get their license taken
away because they drive like crazy and
you see them in my streams you'll see
people that just like like don't use a
turn signal and just zoom and there's a
lot of dangerous driving and there's
this one dude that actually wound up
hitting a car that then hit a child that
killed them and
i don't know if i'm with that yeah i
mean again if you drive a car without
a license because your license was taken
away from you and then you wind up
driving in a dangerous manner
i don't i don't know i'm not against you
being put in prison for that
um but
maybe i'm being over mean but
i would never drive a car without a
license it's just like i'm just not
gonna do that
this policy addresses only
criminalization of a failure to pay
fines it does not address the
criminalization of dangerous driving
okay never mind i take back what i just
said there okay okay it it addresses the
inability to pay and does not address
the criminalization of dangerous driving
okay you know what i just take back what
i said i didn't read the entire thing
and i got ahead of myself so my bad
any violation traffic infraction or
other non-criminal offense not
accompanied by a misdemeanor
okay so they're probably talking about
like red light cameras and other [ __ ]
putting people in prison over red light
cameras is like a [ __ ] waste of time
resisting arrest
except for the act of resisting arrest
for any crime not included in this list
yeah i'm not i'm not a fan of that
because again this is going to result in
people thinking like i'm going to run
from the cops i'm going to punch the
cops blah blah blah
like again if somebody's about to arrest
you and like and you know that it's not
going to be added to your list of things
to be prosecuted if you run away
like this
i don't know i'm not for that
alexander rose for two pounds thank you
thank you very much
obstructing governmental administration
the second degree okay i'm not for this
because i believe that the people that
run the department of consumer affairs
uh who routinely obstruct governmental
administration by not answering my
questions and how their [ __ ] works i
would love to see them behind bars but
anyway i'm half kidding here because i
don't actually know what that means h
prostitution
i don't give a [ __ ] if you uh if you
hire a prostitute it's just
fundamentally not interesting again if
you want to pay somebody to suck your
dick or you know i don't care if you
want to pay someone to bang you in the
ass like by all means that's not really
my business and i don't particularly
give a [ __ ] and i think it's a waste of
my taxpayer dollars to bother
prosecuting you for it um now if you're
weird talking about some underage [ __ ]
or a pimp that's trying to pimp out a 13
year old by all means go into that but
if you're talking about like some 25
year old ho and somebody that wants to
pay her for a fun time like that's
that's really just not my business
outdated offenses such as obscenity
and adultery
what
okay you ca you can go to prison for
[ __ ] uh
that's interesting you go to prison for
[ __ ] somebody else i did not know
that but yeah okay i'm with the d.a over
here [ __ ] prosecuting people for that i
mean if you were able to get prosecuted
for obscenity then i mean i'd be in
prison for this stream
next
misdemeanor
charges for which a desk appearance
ticket
what about trespassing the capital
i don't think that that's under the new
york d.a so this is the new york d.a uh
wouldn't that be a federal crime i don't
know i mean the people that broke in and
feel free to put them in prison like i
don't have a problem with them being put
in prison i it's it's you know the i
have a basic sense of personal
responsibility and if you decide to run
into the capitol building and like take
a [ __ ] on nancy pelosi's desk or
whatever like by all means enjoy the
selfie it's just if you go to prison
afterwards i really don't feel bad for
you and i i would lean on the side to go
to prison yeah go straight to jail go
straight to jail you prick
consistent with past policies those
arrested and offered diversion will be
permitted
to consult with an attorney i don't
see misdemeanor
misdemeanor charges which a desk
appearance ticket is required by law
i don't know what those are cases for
which a desk appearance ticket is issued
but not required by law to be issued
will be offered to the diversion
option defined herein unless the
allegations include sex offenses assault
menacing or allegation of any harm or
threat okay so he's pretty much saying
if you if you try to punch somebody if
you hit somebody if you threaten
somebody you're not you're not going to
be excluded from prosecution okay so
again i'm
a fan of it people died in the capital
invasion yeah if i i don't know what you
want from me man i said that they should
go to prison
i mean do you want me to say that they
should be like
sent to north korea and like be hung by
their balls like
what what
what what answer are you fishing for
favorite youtube channel if you don't
mind sharing
hmm
eli the computer guy circa 2010 i love
me some archive.org eli the computer guy
preemptively officer adas should use
their judgment and experience to
evaluate the person arrested and
identify people who suffer from mental
illness unhoused who commit crimes of
poverty or who suffer from substance use
disorders immediately identify such
cases to an ecab supervisor charges
should be brought consistent with the
goal of providing services such
individuals and leverage plea
negotiations should not be a factor in
this decision
so this over here i again i think this
is really up to the person that's
actually going to be doing it again like
would eugene be a crime of poverty
like again like this guy you know he he
got a divorce
in my opinion in my opinion he burned
his own [ __ ] house down for the
insurance money or to to get out of the
state taking or to get out of the state
taking it
and then he ripped me off for 20 or 30
thousand dollars like should he
if i were actually able to pursue that
would he not should he not be prosecuted
for fraud because it was a crime of
poverty because there's different types
of poverty you know there's poverty of
your own making because you're a piece
of [ __ ] and there's poverty just because
you got a [ __ ] hand in life like you
know there are people like eugene out
there that
are poor because they were pieces of
[ __ ] they made many many many many
decisions that are very well documented
in court that led to him being poor he
[ __ ] people over he defrauded people
repeatedly when he had many
opportunities to make money and he's
poor
i don't really care that you're poor at
that point you did it to yourself but
then there are people that are poor
because they lost their job they had
medical debt they couldn't fight i don't
know their medical debt they had student
loan debt uh their house burned down and
now they're homeless and now they stole
a loaf of bread from the store kind of
thing so again use your judgment and
experience you know use your your
judgment and experience i understand
that that makes sense to me uh i i just
want to know whose judgment the
following offenses should shall be
charged as follows an act to be could be
charged under pl
160.15 or 1610 or 1605 that occurs in a
commercial setting should be charged
into pl 155 what the
okay so we're at the point where we're
not talking english anymore
okay enacted could be charged under pl
160 15.
yeah this is gonna
now see this is probably why okay here
we go the fun section
robbery in the first degree okay i think
the reason we're talking firstly this is
why people get their news from uh from
you know secondhand or third-hand
sources rather than primary sources
because the primary source requires
your brain to decode but the second is
when we start to talk about the spicy
stuff that's where we start talking in
code okay so an act that could be
charged under pl 160.15 or 160.10 oh
we're gonna we're gonna google each one
of these [ __ ] things because now i
can tell you know this the spicy [ __ ] is
gonna be set in numbers
robbery in the second degree okay
robbery in the second degree bada bing
next um
should be charged under p profit and
loss 155 25. if the force of threat or
force displaying a dangerous instrument
or injured behavior but does not create
a genuine oh [ __ ] off if the force or
threat of force of displaying a
dangerous instrument or similar behavior
but does not create a whisk of physical
harm [ __ ] you
okay like before i even google this like
even before i google this i want to say
[ __ ] you so the threat of force consists
of displaying a dangerous instrument
like a gun but does not create a risk of
physical harm if i if i point a gun at
you
how is that not a genuine risk of
physical harm i know what they're
talking about here i know okay i got it
i got it before i even googled this
there was a case a while ago there are
these cases from time to time now i
could tell you how to determine this
check this out so there are there are
cases where somebody will walk into a
bodega with a gun and say give me the
money in the register but there's no
bullets in the gun but the person behind
the register doesn't [ __ ] know that
because he doesn't know if there's
bullets in the gun so he just takes the
register and gives it to the person who
runs away so i think i think again i
could be wrong i still got to google pl
one what pl155525 means my i imagine
here what they're saying is if you
displayed a gun but there's no bullets
in it this seems like the
intellectualized collegiate way of
claiming that you weren't actually in
danger simply because the person who
robbed you robbed you with a gun that
didn't have bullets in it i've heard
this happen i have had a story of this
happening at least three times and there
was one case about seven years ago in
this area where somebody wound up
getting shot by the cops and there were
complaints because the gun that the kid
had had no bullets in it but how the
[ __ ] does the cop supposed to know that
but like that's the only thing i can
imagine that this covers but let's
google this because again i'm getting
carried ahead of myself again you can
see like my neck is turning red i'm
getting aggravated before i even google
it so this is not what i should be doing
so let's see what is pl 155.25
155.25 this is going to get charged
under this so it gets charged as petty
larceny so a person is guilty of petty
larceny when he steals property petty
larceny is a class a misdemeanor wait a
second wait wait wait whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa okay so 160.15
so that's a misdemeanor now so
pl okay let me see was this a
misdemeanor before that's what i want to
know because again this is why you read
the primary sources i'm not reading cnn
or fox's interpretation [ __ ] that
that'll literally rot my brain
read it again it's not in a threatening
manner meaning like lifting it up and
not pointing at anybody okay but what
does that mean if the force or threat of
force consists of displaying a dangerous
instrument or similar behavior but does
not create a risk of genuine harm
there is a 71 year old veteran that's
still in jail from january 6. he took
nothing broke no laws and is unarmed
where is his speedy trial
uh welcome to america
again like if if you break into a
building again it's a question of
trespass like if somebody breaks into
your house
or you know it takes nothing and breaks
nothing and was unarmed do you want that
person to go to jail would you want that
person to go to jail again like they
broke in your house oh dude again if
we're going into this thing like yo
somebody let him in like listen you know
you're not supposed to be breaking into
certain parts of the [ __ ] capital
like you know that again
you know when you're doing something
that's probably wrong you know that
you're probably not supposed to [ __ ]
be there you know that you're probably
not supposed to be trespassing in there
you like you know even if somebody let's
like you know you're not supposed to be
there like just just be real again i
want to see people held to account
whether it is somebody that trespassed
in the capital whether it is somebody
that was breaking store windows during
the george floyd riots whether it is
somebody that is breaking into stores or
breaking windows and rioting and [ __ ] i
don't give a [ __ ] who it is if you're
causing random crap like that again like
just know just you know when you're
doing something wrong in your heart of
hearts you know but continuing on to
this because now we're getting into like
a january sixth
um fast here now i know some people are
gonna say well you know what is a
dangerous instrument um you know there
are different definitions you could have
for dangerous instrument over here you
have penal law defines dangerous
instrument as any instrument article or
substance which under the circumstances
in which it is used is readily capable
of causing death or other serious
physical injury this standard requires
some unpacking clearly a large kitchen
knife is capable of causing death or
serious physical injury if it is used
against another person on the other end
of the spectrum it might be possible to
seriously injure someone with a paper
clip but is that readily capable of
causing a serious injury the appellate
court recently addressed such a
borderline case in the people versus
zeman 2017 in zeman the defendant was
convicted after trial of assault in the
second degree based in part on use of a
broom in the assault and the victim
while it is clear from the definition of
dangerous instrument that the manner in
which an item is used in the context in
which it is used is critically important
to determine whether or not the item can
be considered a dangerous instrument it
is equally clear that the item must meet
some baseline of being something that is
reasonable capable of actually causing
serious physical injury you might
imagine that a paper clip could do a lot
more damage than a broom in certain
circumstances in any k event the court
in zeman held at a broom does indeed
meet the space line standard and can be
considered a dangerous instrument in the
right circumstances elevating what would
otherwise be a misdemeanor charge to a
violent felony punishable by state
prison time so there is some sort of
subjective nature to this that the
courts have to decide but what is more
interesting to me is again two things a
when you read robbery in the first
degree it includes using or threatening
the immediate use of a dangerous
instrument it includes being armed with
a deadly weapon but most importantly
over here is the wiggle room given in
this statute when you read 6a it says if
the fort force or threat of force
consists of displaying a dangerous
instrument or similar behavior so even
if you were to say that my example is
incorrect because you can argue that a
gun is not a dangerous instrument or
similar behavior so this or similar
behavior gives you a lot of wiggle room
to be able to take a first degree felony
such as robbery in the first degree and
bring it down to petty larceny which is
a misdemeanor which is going to raise
the eyebrows of a lot of people which is
one of the reasons i imagine that rather
than this being plain english we're now
talking in pl and end symbol 160.15
160.10
155.25 and this is also one of the
reasons that i imagine in the cnn
article that we have over here that they
did not bring this up either a because
they are biased or b because this would
actually have required a basic google
search to figure out what all these
different numbers and letters mean over
here i mean what i'm reading is if the
force of threat or force consists of
displaying an instrument but does not
create a risk of physical harm if i
point a gun at you but it's not loaded
and i checked it and i like i didn't
alec baldwin like i actually checked it
and it's not loaded i'm not no alec
baldwin and i know it's not loaded is
that not a risk of genuine harm there is
zero risk of me harming you if i point a
gun at you that i have double checked
and insured is not loaded there's no way
i could harm you with a gun that's not
loaded so again the reason that i'm
doing this is because i've seen these
cases covered before clearly you haven't
seen someone using a gun as a hammer
no i've seen that before it's just
it
that doesn't change what we're talking
about here we're talking about a threat
of forest about displaying a dangerous
instrument but not creating a risk of
harm and i could see that being used if
somebody has a gun but they just do this
and they never what if they just do this
what if they just go to their holster
right oh how about this what if they
never even touch their holster but they
just do this right like they start
lifting their shirt to reveal it there
is there a threat i don't know
but it's just
this seems real and again 160 i just
want to see what this is so they would
be classifying this as a misdemeanor but
pl 160.15 what is that so robbery in the
first degree is now a misdemeanor it's
okay so here's the rub here so check
this out section 160.15
robbery in the first degree which is a
[ __ ] felony and he is saying that you
are going to charge this as uh petty
larceny which is a class a misdemeanor
so
this is saying that if you had a if you
have a weapon or whatever but that
weapon itself is not creating a genuine
risk of physical harm which i don't know
let's say if you have a dull knife or a
gun with no bullets in it uh that is
that robbery in the first degree is now
being downgraded from a class b felony
to two-way class a misdemeanor and again
i'm not reading cnn because when i read
cnn they don't they don't talk about any
of this again when i read cnn they were
just talking about marijuana and
prostitutes and i haven't read fox yet
but i guarantee if i read fox it's going
to be crazy in the other direction this
is why i actually wanted to read this
again it takes more work and effort but
it is worthwhile but here's why i think
this is so important here's what i
here's what i get out of reading this
primary source and here's here's why
this is important so when you read the
primary source when they're talking
about the things that we can all agree
on like marijuana
like okay who cares about that
prostitution who cares about that
adultery when we're talking about the
items that even right-wingers and
left-wingers alike will agree on they
use english when they talk about the
stuff that they know most average
ordinary people are going to read and go
wait a second what the [ __ ] you mean
felony robbery is now just going to be a
misdemeanor they start talking in
[ __ ] algebra see this do you notice
that do you notice that pattern on this
again when we're talking about the
things that we're not going to be
charging or you know as seriously or
putting people in prison for when we're
talking about the items that most people
in america are going to agree on
marijuana misdemeanors they say what it
is not paying fair they say what it is a
traffic infraction they say what it is
uh you know not penalizing you for
obscenity or adultery they say what it
is but once we get to the point where
it's actually controversial that's where
it doesn't say what it is and we start
magically talking in algebra so again 6a
an act that could be charged under
160.15
which is robbery in the first degree
which is a class b felony is now going
to be charged as
petty larceny 155.25
and again i'm just reading this directly
from the document and i'm going to post
all these links into my chat so that you
can read along as well because you
should not believe me because i'm just a
random dude sitting in his chair again
don't believe me believe this
you know believe what you read so what
this
this is where it starts to lose my trust
because if if there was nothing if you
weren't trying to hide the ball you
would just say what that is rather than
speaking in algebra let's keep reading
the possession of a non-firearm weapon
under penal law 26502 shall not be
charged unless as a lesser included
defense and 26501 shall be charged
instead
okay so let's see what these two are
because again we're talking in [ __ ]
algebra again
so 26502 we'll just do this
section yeah i'm just learning this as i
go just to be clear i don't know jack
[ __ ] about the law i am literally
learning this along with you i'm a
macbook repairman
and 26501 so what the [ __ ] does this
should mean
okay so what is this
what do we have here so 26502 criminal
possession of a weapon in the third
degree
uh that is a class d felony that will be
charged as
possession of weapon in the fourth
degree
class a misdemeanor okay so possession
of a gun of a weapon
so possession of certain types of
weapons will are now going from felony
to misdemeanor
i don't think that your average person
who is right wing or watches fox news is
going to be particularly mad at that
because i think most people who are more
right wing are
going to believe that it's wrong that
you not be able to possess a weapon in
the first place so i'm not i'm not
really mad at that again i could read
this entire thing uh i could read this
entire thing yes it is andy i could read
this whole thing which is many many many
many pages but at the end of the day
that really doesn't make me that mad so
i don't think that that's something
that's worth reading to the entire thing
i could be wrong but
residential burglaries an act involving
theft of property from a storage area or
other portion of a dwelling that is not
accessible to a living area that could
be charged under
pl1425 should only be charged into 1420
and not under 140 30 or 140 25. okay
again we're we're getting into the
[ __ ] land of algebra here so let's
just go through this
what would you suggest for a complete
beginner like myself uh get started
watch videos get started get stuff and
practice
go go go
don't wait no waiting go go go
okay so 140.25
so burglary let's see
burglary in the second degree
person is guilty of burglary in the
second degree when he only enters her
unlawful building with intent to commit
a crime and affecting entry in the
building or immediately fight armed with
explosives or deadly weapon causes
injury threatens immediate use of this
classy felony
burglary in the third degree when he
knowingly enters a building with intend
to commit a crime class d okay so the
difference appears to be whether you
have a weapon
okay so it looks like if you enter if
you're
committing a burglary with a deadly
weapon it's now going to be charged as
if you did not have a weapon
okay not under 140 230. so burglary is
now again you're going to get a you're
going to be prosecuted with kid gloves
if you do burglary and also if you do
robbery this this [ __ ] sucks
uh i'm not for this
okay let's see oh yeah you and you also
okay so they if you were doing burglary
in the third degree now you can get
charges in the fourth degree rather than
the first degree okay so so far here six
really seems to be where it gets spicy
the rest of this document again i just
don't give a [ __ ] about uh
so a says
a over here if you're committing a
robbery that rob robbery with a deadly
weapon can be go from being a felony to
a misdemeanor
b don't give a [ __ ] about because i
believe in the second amendment i
personally don't even i don't believe
that most of this [ __ ] should even be
[ __ ] you're getting charged for i don't
want to be a hypocrite there see
residential burglaries okay you're going
to get charged with some kid gloves
there
and next commercial burglaries this this
is this is obviously where i got some
bias because i own a [ __ ] business in
this [ __ ] commercial burglaries an
act involving theft of property from a
commercial establishment could be
charged under pl 142.5 because
establishment is technically part of a
larger structure should only be charged
into 140.20
now i don't he's not saying instead of
so he's not saying what that would be
charged under right now so i don't
really have knowledge of what this is
being charged as right now
uh let's see eric penal this
did i just say new york penal
i said penal
i'm such a [ __ ] child okay so
shall be charged could be charged under
this
shall only be charged into 140 25. so
what's 140 25 versus 140 20. 140 25
is burglary in the second degree we'll
get charged as burglary in the third
degree okay so again this is just kid
gloves
this is this is uh kid gloves for for
burglary is is what i get drug cases if
there's a reasonable view of the
evidence that they were arrested for
this okay again i don't give a [ __ ]
about this i just want to be clear with
my because
if i don't i don't care about drug cases
like i fundamentally don't care about
them so if they're talking about a drug
case i'm not even going to look up the
different penal codes because as i said
my own code of moral and ethics i
fundamentally don't care if you're doing
drugs it's just it's not it's not of
interest to me unless you're driving if
you're driving or operating heavy
machinery that affects me
then i care but otherwise i really don't
care uh pre-trial detention there is a
presumption of pre-trial
non-incarceration for every case except
those with charges of homicide or the
death of a victim a class b violent
felony in which weapon or dangerous
instrument causes serious physical
injury
sex offenses in article 130 domestic
violence block including any attempt to
commit any such offense for any charge
of attempt to cause serious physical
injury ada's must obtain the approval of
an e-cap supervisor
who what the [ __ ] is an e-cap supervisor
okay i don't even know what e-cab is i
know a-cab is all caps are bad
is ecap like
elderly cops are bad what is ecap what
is ecap
early case assessment bureau
what the [ __ ] is that
what is this i'm clueless
let's learn
screens all the rest that occur in
brooklyn determining whether a
prosecution will be declined or will go
forward if the latter or what charges
will be brought ecab office staff
members interview police officers and
some instances victims and witnesses the
bureau drafts the charging document upon
which the defendant will be initially
arraigned okay
let's see
a class b violent felony in which a
danger deadly weapon or dangerous
instrument causes serious physical
injury
let's see
for every case except those with the
okay
okay so for cases where you're not
causing injury you're not being a sex
offender
ask an ecab supervisor if you're going
to
seek that they be put in jail
that's
i don't know that doesn't seem like the
craziest thing in the world
uh
there is a presumption of pre-trial not
incarceration
i don't know that that's i'm not going
to jump down the throat for that now i
get i don't know what the ecab
supervisor process is like i don't know
if they're just going to rubber stamp
every single one of them to not to just
say yeah
you know
leave them on their own recognizance
that that's always a possibility but i
don't know enough about the system to
know if this is something to be worth
getting angry over after submitting the
application for pre-trial detention
formed to their ecap supervisor where
release is recommended the following
rules apply the office will consent to
the release on recognizance where
whenever release is recommended by the
cja risk assessment or
what this this really kind of sounds
like an ecab supervisor is going to be
able to say whether or not somebody who
commits a crime is going to go to jail
prior to having their date in court
i think they're doing that to keep
people out of rikers and again this is
whether or not that's a bad thing really
is going to be up to the whether or not
the ecab supervisor winds up looking at
each case and making a decision that the
public agrees with or if that's just a
rubber stamp way to keep them out of
jail and again i don't know enough about
the legal system the justice system or
the policing system to be able to answer
that and so i i just don't really have
much of an answer there for cases where
there is no presumption of
non-incarceration
the office should carefully consider all
known facts special considerations
should be given any request for
pre-trial detention for the following
individuals who face unique hardships
such as individuals with health
conditions that could suffer serious
harm or death if incarcerated
um
yeah i guess
i guess it depends on what you did like
again you know if you again if you tried
to [ __ ] stab my my dad but you know
you have a health condition i don't
really give a [ __ ] if you die in prison
but if you have um
you know if you're just somebody who
took some bread from the store
to feed your family
and you have coveted like you know i get
it let him out i guess it really depends
i'm not i'm not i'm not necessarily mad
at this at face value i thought that's
not worth being mad at face value when
requesting bail ada's must request a
partially or unsecured bond and the same
amount as the cash bail request if the
defense counsel requests let's see
the
ads which requested partially your
unsecured bond in the same amount as the
cash bail request
i don't think that yeah that that's not
worth me getting mad at if defense
counsel requests ada's working in the
arraignment part shall inform defense
counsel prior to their client's
arraignment of the office's bail request
and any plea offer for those individuals
whose conditions particularly their
physical and mental health change during
incarceration the pathways the public
safety bureau what the [ __ ] is that how
many bureaus are we paying for pathways
to public safety bureau
will review and consent to a change in
bail or release conditions if necessary
there are so many i'm learning there are
so many different departments in new
york city and state wow this is this is
crazy
if individuals miss court dates ada
shall contact defense attorneys to
request them to provide the reason for
the violation or failure to appear in
court if individuals miss court dates
ada shall contact defense attorneys to
request them to provide the reason for
the violation
of failure to appear in court if the
person fails to appear but there is no
evidence that the person intentionally
attempted to flee from law enforcement
such as evading police or giving a
police officer an alias then recommend
release upon the original conditions
what are you talking about if you commit
a crime and you get a court date you
show up or they put you in jail
ada should contact defense attorneys to
request them to provide the reason for
the violation or failure to prepare are
you serious
are you that's literally like
my defense attorney ate my homework so i
didn't go to court that day
next
okay if there is an allegation
that an individual has violated a
condition of release ada shall contact
the defense attorney to determine
whether the violation of the condition
is related to circumstances such as
health issues transportation or child
care issues if there is clear evidence
the person willfully violated condition
of release ask for the next least
restrictive condition to ensure that
they fulfill the conditions of the
release
supervisory approval is required for any
deviation from this policy so i'm going
to claim that some a customer coughed on
me that's why i couldn't go to court i
got covered
oh man there's a lot of covenant it's
not hard to get new york city at gold
nowadays
i genuinely appreciate the alcohol free
stream thank you mario
i hope you're doing well thank you for
the five euros
in appropriate cases the office will
consent to the excusing of the defendant
from having to attend routine court
appearances
what does that mean
the office will consent to excusing the
defendant having to return routine court
appearances
if that
i don't know why you'd want that i don't
know why you'd want that because i mean
i imagine you would want the jury to
hear your side of the story i imagine if
you don't show up they're going to
assume you're guilty
that's dispositions the office will not
seek a car sore sentence to be to be
clear again one of the things that i
pointed at the beginning of this they
start using either algebra or advanced
vocabulary the moment that they get to
something that's spicy again when
they're saying we're not gonna prosecute
prostitution we're not gonna prosecute
adultery they're very specific but when
they get to something else like you know
we're gonna we're gonna prosecute
a felony robbery or burglary as a
misdemeanor they start talking in 160.15
will now be prosecuted as 165.10 and
[ __ ] like that over here when seeking a
carceral sentence apparently means
you're in [ __ ] jail uh so this should
be just to be clear about this
you know when you when they say a car
sorrow
a car sorrow sentence which is a word
that i never heard about of until i
started reading this that means
relating to or suggesting a jail or
prison so instead of carceral sentence
let's just say that assumes jail or
prison for a determinate sentence the
office will request a maximum of 20
years
why
uh what what is an exceptional
circumstance
like again you know let's say that
cinevision comes back from hawaii and
then somebody kills cinevision i would
want them to get more than 20 years
like what is what is considered
exceptional who defines exceptional
for an indeterminate sentence other than
one with a maximum of life the office
will request no more than a maximum of
20 years
again what is an exceptional
circumstance this is i want to know what
this weasley vocabulary means what does
this weasley vocabulary mean the office
shall not seek a sentence of life
without parole
that's exactly what i'd want if somebody
kills my cinevision
in exceptionally serious cases such as
homicides where lengthy periods of
incarceration are justified ada shall
consider the use of restorative justice
what the [ __ ] does that mean
as a mitigating factor in determining
the length of sentences only when
victims or their loved ones can sense
what the [ __ ] is restorative justice
like what what why what the
okay let's
okay let's figure out what these terms
are restorative justice
restorative justice repairs the harm
caused by crime in exceptionally serious
cases such as homicides
okay so here's the thing that makes no
sense you understand how their very
[ __ ] language makes no sense
restorative justice repairs the harm
caused by crime
yet it says such as homicide so if you
kill my girlfriend how do you fix that
how the [ __ ] are you gonna fix that this
is so [ __ ] stupid like what am i
missing what am i missing here so they
talk again if they said excluding
homicide i get it so for instance let's
say that you let's say you destroy the
front of my store but then instead of
you going to prison they say you are
going to stay in this [ __ ] store
until you fix everything of lewis's that
you broke
see i could i'm for that listen instead
of going to prison you're going to go
there every [ __ ] day and you are
going gonna fix what you broke but
they're talking about homicide homicide
how do you fix that what is restorative
like these words make no even if the
word it's okay now i understand the
concept of restorative justice
restorative justice repairs to harm
caused by a crime when victims offenders
and community members meet to decide how
to do that the results can be
transformative you killed someone you
don't fix that
you can't bring them back
if you could bring back people we would
have had no arguments about coveted
restrictions over the past year because
when they die you would restore them by
bringing them back like
oh my god
what the okay let's we'll read another
definition maybe that definition is not
the right definition of restorative
justice let's get another definition
wikipedia restorative justice is an
approach to justice in which one of the
responses to a crime is to organize a
meeting between the victim and the
offender that's not going to go well if
the offender killed my [ __ ]
girlfriend sometimes with
representatives of the wider community
the goal is them to share their
experience of what happened to discuss
who was harmed by the crime and how and
to create a consensus for what the
offender can do to repair the harm from
the offense nothing
if you kill someone that i love there is
nothing you can do besides [ __ ] go to
prison rod or let me choke you to death
if you stab my dad who is 72 years old
and has had seven surgeries outside the
grocery store so that you could steal
the three dollars he has in his wallet
there is nothing you can do other than
let me kill you with my own two hands
that will make me feel better and even
that's not gonna work because i'll feel
better for 15 seconds and then i'll feel
like [ __ ] after i do it it's like
this is horseshit this is so [ __ ]
like this listen to the words in
exceptionally serious cases such again
if this is excluding homicide i get it
such as homicides where lengthy periods
of incarceration are justified ada
should consider the use of restorative
justice as a mitigating factor and
determine the length of the sentence
okay i didn't read the entire sentence
because i got because i was raging only
when victims are their loved ones
consent
okay to be clear i ran on that entire
rant before reading the end of the
sentence because i'm a [ __ ] idiot
only when the victims are their loved
ones consent so if i if i consent listen
if i consent to allow and you killed my
dad but i say you know what fine [ __ ] it
my dad you know
my dad was a prick on my last phone call
anyway i'm glad you did it give him only
two years
it's only if i consent but if i don't
consent and i say [ __ ] it you deserve 25
to life then they still get 25 to life
so to be i i didn't read the whole thing
i didn't read the whole thing that's a
horrible hypothetical i mean we're
talking about homicide here can you can
you give me an example of where that's
not going to be
we're going to have happy hypotheticals
again to be clear it says only when
victims are their loved ones consent so
i would have to consent to this
happening
okay so what do you all think of that so
the person could kill could kill someone
that you care about and love
but they only
they can only get a reduced sentence if
you consent to them getting a reduced
sentence what are your thoughts there
how do you prove they're a loved one i
don't know make up a fake card or
something
new york city public school at its best
yeah i didn't finish the sentence
no justice for the dead person if their
family hates them
that's a good point
yeah that's actually a really good point
because i know people in my family that
would be more than happy that if i uh
like i know people in my family i'd be
like yeah just give
let them out if i wound up getting
murdered consenting to a murderer being
let out means they will harm other
people
kind of i i i am on your side there
the dead person doesn't forgive
me
you killed my father you can restore the
situation by becoming my new father
that's kind of weird
wouldn't it concur wouldn't consent
encourage intimidation tactics
good point i wasn't thinking of that
side dark i was not thinking of that
so what if a gang member kills
somebody's family or kill somebody's
family member but then other members of
the gang say we're going to come after
you if you don't you know get in on this
whole
restorative justice [ __ ] you talk to
them and tell them that you forgive him
so that he gets out in a year or five
years or something like that
i'm not necessarily comfortable my
family members have the power to give
consent on behalf of my dead ass
yeah and especially considering some
certain members of my [ __ ] family i
wouldn't trust that don't kill someone
if you're not willing to die the golden
rule treat out this is you want to be
treated
okay anyway continuing on to the next
one
restorative justice programming will be
expanded significantly including for
violent felony cases in which the victim
can sense
uh this sounds a bit a bit cuckish wait
so you can hire someone to kill your
wife
and consent
for the killer to be released
okay
sonny
i know your divorce did not go the way
that you wanted it to
no
no sorry
stop
sonny you're gonna give me coffee
no sonny
no that's not how this works
that's not a good way to get out of the
body
oh i shouldn't be laughing at that
oh man i've sonny voted for this [ __ ]
d.a didn't he
[Music]
oh wait
okay
hi oreo are you a little hitman oreo for
any case in which a person violates the
terms of a non-corrosorial sentence or
pre-plea programming mandate the office
will seek a crossfall alternative only
as a matter of last resort the office
take into account
that research shows that relapses are a
predictable part of the road to recovery
for those struggling with substance
abuse in the office of reserve carceral
recommendations for repeated violations
of the terms of the mandate okay this
there's no citation here so i don't know
how to interpret this
uh it seems like again the way that i
can imagine this is relapses are a
predictable part of the road to recovery
for those struggling with substance
abuse so again if they're saying
they will take that into account
if you've like you're not supposed to
smoke weed but you smoke weed over and
over again fine if they're saying
because you do drugs we are going to
look the other way if you rob a deli
[ __ ] that but again there's not really
enough in there for me as a non-legal
expert to understand what they're saying
special procedures for cases involving
juveniles and young adults for
adolescent offenders charged with
offenses defined in subdivision 1 of
cpl7223
office shall presumptively not file
motions preventing removal of family
court unless the charges are extremely
serious and the young person does not
demonstrate amenability for the services
in family court okay now so i you know
this is going to be something spicy
because they are not using english they
are using algebra so cpl 722.23 what
does this mean
cpl criminal procedure law what is uh
proceedings against juvenile offender
removal of adolescent offenders to
family court for adolescent offenders
charge of the fences not attenuated
ability to these services available and
ada may overcome the presumption by
form to supervised lisa ray is prior to
the hearing held pursuant to 722.23 a
and that's the provider approves i think
they're talking about putting something
in family court
as opposed to charging you as an adult
so if you do [ __ ] up [ __ ] when you're
16 and 17 being able to get lighter
prison sentences the officer shall
consent the removal of all will consent
to the removal of all juvenile offenders
to family court pursuant to 722.22
preferring permitting the court to make
its own analysis of the statutory
factors were required unless content is
not statutory justified
for the cases that are not moved to
family court porrio is pleading the
fifth
porio is cute he's my cute little kitten
for the case network to family court
terminations is the appropriate
disposition will be based on the
identifying under filing needs and what
services and supports can be provided to
the person charged and their caretakers
to address those needs ultimately
improving selling safety we'll rely on
community-based programs already in use
in the youth parts as well as adding
restorative justice practices to
accomplish these goals
for those cases not remove the family
court the office will consider removals
to family court based on continuing
behavior while cases are pending in
criminal court and sealing of charges
upon demonstration of the rehabilitation
for those cases involving adults under
the age of 25 ada should make an
individualized determination of the
appropriate outcome for each case
okay so okay and this is an interesting
one so if you commit a misdemeanor and
you are an illegal immigrant they are
going to avoid immigration consequences
for misdemeanors all felonies for which
non-carceral outcomes are presumptive
outcome
so this is an interesting thing but this
is here's where this becomes interesting
here's where this becomes interesting
so
it's talking about misdemeanors but this
memo makes it so that if you're
committing robbery as a
felony that that is now being charged as
a misdemeanor so you could commit what
is currently considered to be felony
robbery and if you're an illegal
immigrant not even have immigration
consequences because that's been moved
down to a misdemeanor okay i've read the
entire thing at this point and as an
idiot who doesn't know anything about
the law ultimately the the spiciest part
of this entire document what i got out
of it was really
this section over here 6 a
b
c
and d
6 a through 6 d
is
going over
commer commercial burglaries residential
burglaries and felony robberies being
decreased to misdemeanors
and the second thing here that really
seems to strike me as important is where
it says that
if this occurs in a commercial setting
it should be charged as a misdemeanor if
the force of threat or force consists of
displaying a dangerous instrument or
similar behavior but does not create a
genuine risk of physical harm and again
to me this again the way i interpret
this as a layperson who is not an
attorney not a lawyer reading this is if
i walk into a bodega and i'm about to
rob the bodega and i say give me all
your money and i do this and i raise up
my shirt to show that i have a gun there
but that gun is not loaded that
if i were a defense attorney what i
would do is i would say his gun as you
could see from the police
has no bullets in it therefore there was
no genuine risk of physical harm
therefore this should be a misdemeanor
and that's that that's the spiciest part
of this that i that i understand
this is
i think all drugs should be legalized
criminalized up until the moment i see a
tweaker dropping turrets in the street
in seattle
yeah
yeah yeah i hear you well yeah so that's
my take on this so i you know i read
through the entire thing now i'm kind of
curious to see what other people are
saying about this because remember i
googled this now the cnn did not mention
anything regarding let's just see if cnn
how much can i trust this so does cnn
mention the word burglary
i i type control f and i type burglary
it doesn't even show up so if you go to
cnn robbery again if i just type the
word rob and i hit control f it's not
there burglary and the cnn article
literally it's not here
felony it's not here so the cnn article
that i read that based on this memo does
not tell me jack [ __ ] and one of the
things to notice about the cnn article
is that it talks about marijuana it
talks about
prostitution
it but it doesn't talk about the things
that i'm actually interested in which
are robbery burglary and you know again
waving a gun around at people so at this
point i'm again i'm glad i read the
primary source documents because if i
didn't read the primary source document
i would have thought something much
different again i read the cnn article
at the beginning of this because
admittedly i'm lazy and i didn't want to
read the primary source and i thought oh
yeah this is just about adultery this is
about prostitution and marijuana who
gives a [ __ ] about it because again i
don't i don't i [ __ ] don't care if
you want to sell a weed in 2021 you
literally cannot trust any news article
you always have to read the
sourcedocument.gov.gov and make your own
opinion unfortunately that takes too
long for most people to do yeah and
again one of the things that i want to
point out here that i think is really
important and i know i know i'm
repeating myself at this point but i'm
repeating myself because i think it
really is important is that when they're
going over the parts that are not
controversial
such as marijuana misdemeanors or you
know going over the turnstile in the
in the subway or prostitution or
obscenity or adultery they're willing to
use normal language but the moment they
get the things that in my opinion would
your normal average everyday person
would say whoa that's really
controversial you're taking robbery in
the first degree and saying that it
should be charged as petty larceny
that they're no longer using their words
and they're using algebra now again i've
had people saying to me that i read that
in new york they're not going to charge
somebody if they commit a robbery or if
they commit a felony and obviously
that's [ __ ] he's not saying that
he's not saying don't charge them he's
saying charge them with something lower
which is
better than what people are accusing the
d.a of because i've read many youtube
comments at this point where people are
saying the d.a is asking that people not
be charged at all if they commit a
robbery or if they rob a store that's
obviously not true they're going to be
charged
but they're so i can't believe i'm
[ __ ] defending this da but it's just
because people make things up but he's
charging them with something that's
considerably less which i fundamentally
disagree with so again what i would
suggest is read the source document
because i've gotten a lot of youtube
comments at this point that said they're
not prosecuting robberies in new york
city they're not prosecuting felonies in
new york city
i mean that's not true they are it's
just they're prosecuting them as lower
statutes
so again it's just one of those cases
where both sides lie and when one side
lies about one thing it's easier for you
to believe the other side when they're
also lying to you which just continues
to radicalize people
one would not know that the potential
robber has a bullet in the chamber or
magazine in his pocket even if there
isn't a magazine in the gun plus the
intent is arb robbery which is a felony
yeah this is what really pisses me off
about this because i have heard of cases
where people went to bodegas and said
you know
i'm going to rob you stick them up who
am i kidding robbers in brooklyn don't
do that they do this none of them
actually hold a gun like this they do
this well you know like you know give me
the give me what is that whatever's in
the register and there's no bullets in
the gun
i'm glad you're attacking the policies
rather than whether to democrats or
republicans i mean
it's it comes back to intent says
simplicity if your intent is to rob me
of money by using the threat of death
i don't believe that is a misdemeanor
and maybe that's controversial but if
you're looking to point a gun at me
and the gun is not loaded but i don't
know it's not loaded you're using the
threat of death to get me to give you
money and at that point i would prefer
that you not be charged with a
misdemeanor perhaps that's because of my
political biases perhaps that's because
i'm a business owner who and not a
criminal so i would be on the opposite
end of this argument
and perhaps that biases me beyond the
ability to have
a level-headed discussion about it
but i'll state my biases up front again
as a store owner as a business owner i'd
would prefer that if you walk into my
store and you have a gun and you do this
and you say give me what's in the
register give me all these macbooks
and
you and the police catch you after you
leave
that when they catch you
that you not get charged as a
misdemeanor just because you say no no
no look my gun was empty
ah maybe i'm a dick maybe i'm just being
the grandma's grandpa screaming at cloud
and a big part of it is just
fundamentally not wanting to be a part
of a society where we're just making
these distinctions do i want to be a
part of a society where we're saying
you know okay listen i know that you
went into a store
i know that you wanted to
point a gun at somebody so that you
could take their stuff but because your
gun wasn't actually loaded and you only
deceived him into thinking you were
going to kill him we're going to let you
off the hook
my gut reaction to that is [ __ ] that on
every level
i don't necessarily disagree with you
about that particular situation being
decreased to a misdemeanor but few other
cases prosecuted and these guidelines
would be cherry that cherry-pick
scenario possibly and again i am i am a
guy that fixes macbooks that has no idea
about the criminal justice process i am
just reading this and giving my thoughts
as i go i do not want to pretend that i
have a clue
new subject new subject i covered this i
gave you my uninformed idiot's opinion
and you you do with that do with my
thought my opinion what you will
