The man who randomly punched an Asian American woman in the face in NYC had been arrested 17 times in the past – 8 of them in the past year.
Alexander Wright, 48, was charged with assault as a hate crime, misdemeanor assault and criminal possession of a controlled substance – a synthetic form of marijuana called K2 – in connection with the Monday evening attack, a New York Police Department (NYPD) spokesperson said Tuesday.
Speaking to Spectrum NY1 on Tuesday morning, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea mentioned a previous incident, in which a 65-year-old Asian woman was pushed down the stairs of a New York City subway station on Friday.
“What’s the common denominator?” he asked during the interview. “People that are arrested multiple, multiple, multiple times and released.”
He called it “craziness” that someone who is arrested for committing a crime such as “pushing a woman down the stairs” could be released back onto the street.

Why is he all upset? Black female democrat AG, Letitia James, is hard at work reanalyzing former President Trump’s personal tax returns from 1978. It’s those dangerous tax returns that threatens every New Yorker. We must all come together to find something, anything, wrong with Trump’s personal tax return. Only then will these black criminals behave themselves. Only then will Asian Americans feel save again. If Cy Vance can somehow get that evil wicked Trump thrown in prison, we would finally have racial justice. We would finally end systemic racism. All residents of this Sanctuary City would be secure.
These filthy rabies infected sewer rat judges who release these animals.
Need to be hunted down and dealt with exactly as you would with rabies infected animals. (After being convicted by a court for the crime of high treason)
What a bigot and racist! He wants to keep people jailed just for expressing themselves by pushing a woman down the stairs???
Chugibigi, I disagree!
Rabies – infected animals should be put to death as humanely as possible; after all, they’ve done nothing wrong.
Those judges and lawmakers, on the other hand…🔥⚡🌊☄
I would think the police commissioner of New York would know the difference between an arrest and a conviction, but apparently, the current one does not.

Are you serious? Criminals are bad people, who cannot be trusted, and are likely to repeat their offenses. That’s fact. Research “recidivism”. Most every criminal lies and denies committing the crime. Their denial cannot be accepted as conclusive of their innocence. So we have a violent serious crime that was done with intention to harm. We have a suspect that has reasonable basis to believe that he is guilty and would be found so by the court. There is such a thing as bail to insure that he will appear, but it also places restrictions on the suspect. There is also such a thing as holding the suspect in custody until trial. The catch and release idea makes our lives riskier and puts us all in danger. Even repeat offenders get the same release favors.
We all understand conviction is not arrest. So does the police commissioner. He understands the danger that the police wish they could prevent, but Cuomo’s stupidity (and the idiots in the legislature) ignores our safety. Such a shame that people with such corrupt ideas get into public office. May the politicians who supported that law become the victims of these repeat offenders who are coddled by their “liberal” laws.
The only one to blame here is Evil Cuomo not De Blasio, not the judges. Evil Cuomo signed the bail reform law and when asked about yesterday’s incident he placed the blame on the mayor saying, “the mayor of the city is responsible for public safety and sanitation.” Evil Cuomo you’re the one one that signed the bail law. There can’t be public safety if these criminals are let out before the cops finish the paper work.
huju, when someone is a repeat offender, he should be required to post bail before being released and if he cannot post bail or if he is considered a danger based on previous criminal behavior, he should not be released at all while awaiting trial. But for that to happen, you need to reinstitute sane bail laws. That is what the police commissioner is complaining about,and it is you who are clueless.
