Why must every change be referred to as a "reform"? Reform implies improvement, which is not always, or never, the case.
ZitatNew York state's brand new "bail reform" law proved to be something of an embarrassment last week when a woman, Tiffany Harris, was arrested several times for misdemeanor assault and harassment charges against Jews -- only to be released without bail due to the new law.
This came on the heels of the anti-Semitic machete attack, where five Jews observing Hanukkah were hacked by a deranged anti-Semite.
Naturally, the press had a field day with Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo -- the two principal architects of the bill. So hizzoner and hizexcellency have beaten a hasty retreat.
Cuomo, who proudly signed the bill into law, blamed the "system" saying, “There’s no doubt that this is a work in progress."
“Changing the system is complicated," he added.
This is especially true when the "change" allows anti-social individuals to roam the city looking for targets for their rage.
Meanwhile, De Blasio stepped in last week and got a judge to order Mrs. Harris off the streets -- which sort of defeats the purpose of the "reforms," but who's noticing?
This policy is as stupid as the one adopted in California which eliminates arrests for thefts that are less than $950. In both cases, Liberalism at its finest.

This is "a work in progress"???
The people of New York have had enough of their kind of progress!
