NYC bail reform slammed after repeat offender makes 42nd attack​


  • Robert Kelley, vice president of New York City’s Transport Union, slammed the city’s bail reform on “Fox & Friends First” on Monday in protest after officials put repeat offender Alexander Wright under the new bail reform.
  • Wright, 49, was charged with assault and harassment for attacking Pelham Bay Park Station subway cleaner Anthony Nelson, 35, on Aug. 11. Wright also has over 40 prior arrests, including one for attacking an Asian woman in New York City’s Chinatown in May 2021.
  • “The new bail reform must be changed,” Kelley told “Fox & Friends First” host Todd Piro. “Time and time again, this guy [Wright] shouldn't have even been privileged to be under the new bail reform in terms of him being free. After 40 beatings, you'd think they'd lock him up and throw away the key.”
  • "I never thought I'd say this, but, at the end of the day, the MTA employees have a more dangerous job than the NYPD," Kelley added. "At least they [the NYPD] have weapons to protect themselves… our members don't."
Robert Kelley, vice president of New York City’s Transport Union, slammed the city’s bail reform on national television following a repeat offender’s attack on a “hero” subway employee nearly two months ago.

All good. Vancouver Police usually just kills crackheads with ease:

 
I can’t be the only that thinks if someone has been arrested more than 3 times in a 5 year period they shouldn’t be getting out for 10+ years by the 4th one (depending on severity could be more of course but not less). Thought we had some 3 strikes and you’re out thing going at some point.

42 times arrested is just a joke.
