What's compassionate about this?
/
As the latest installment in the continuing saga of liberals claiming to be compassionate by letting the insane wander our streets and subways, undisciplined children run riot in schools, unskilled illiterates swarm into the country and exhaust the welfare budgets, and so on, here’s another example of politicians and the judicial system screwing the law-abiding:
Six of NYC migrant squatter crew set loose without bail after gun and drug bust as neighbors detail chaos on Bronx block
Six of the eight gun-toting, drug-dealing migrant squatters busted last week in the Bronx were cut loose without bail — as frustrated neighbors said Tuesday that the unruly, noise crew brought nothing but trouble to the block.
The NYPD collared the squatters — who set up shop across the street from PS 56 inside a multi-family house on Hull Avenue in the borough’s Norwood section — after one of them pointed a 9 mm CZ pistol at someone on the property last Wednesday night, police officials said.
“I see all the gangsters and wannabe gangsters running around here,” one neighbor told The Post.
Alfred Munoz, a neighbor who has lived in the area for more than five decades, said that one day the squatters just appeared at the house and wouldn’t leave.
“The landlord wanted to evict them, but the NYPD told him no,” Munoz claimed, adding that he was often frustrated by the fleet of noisy motorbikes they kept in the front yard.
“They wake me up at 2 a.m.,” he said.
Another neighbor told The Post that the group commandeered the house about a year ago and turned it into a noisy, high-traffic hub for whatever scheme they were running.
“Their operation was sophisticated, and looked like they knew what they were doing,” she said.
“One day, one of them was beating another man with a pipe,” she recalled, saying it appeared to be a debt collection of some sort.
“Deport them!” said Fausto Fermín, a Spanish-speaking immigrant who said he’s angry about the recent wave of criminal immigrants causing trouble in the city.
Last week, one of New York’s most powerful politicians weighed in on crime and punishment:
NY Assembly Speaker Heastie refuses to back tougher sentences for criminals who attack retail workers
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie shut down Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to toughen up penalties for thugs who attack retail workers — saying Tuesday he didn’t think it’d crack down on crime.
Heastie told reporters that lawmakers and the governor should not address criminal sentencing as part of negotiations over the state’s massive spending package in a blow to Hochul’s agenda.
“I just don’t believe raising penalties is ever a deterrent on crime,” Heastie said.
The Speaker’s neighbors disagree:
