New York Releases Violent Offenders Who Then Commit More Violence

For months, New York legislators have been pushing for the release of criminals held in the state’s justice system.

In April 2020, it was reported that “New York City police have arrested again dozens of inmates released from jail over the coronavirus,” and that “[at] least 50 of 1,500 inmates released from lockup over concerns that the virus could spread quickly within a jail have been rearrested.”

In December 2020, roughly 20 New York legislators pushed for a package they dubbed “Justice Roadmap 2021,” which included the so-called “Elder Parole Bill,” which would require that “incarcerated New Yorkers over age 55 who have served 15 or more consecutive years be considered for parole regardless of their crime or sentence.”

That same month, it was reported that “New York City has released almost all its inmates arrested on gun charges this year, which police say has led to the city’s soaring rates of gun crime.”

It turns out that policies have consequences. Specifically, New York’s strategy of releasing violent offenders has violent consequences.

Brandon Elliot, who brutally attacked an Asian woman, was on parole for murdering his mother

The Daily Wire reported on March 31 that a man arrested for a brutal attack against an Asian woman in Manhattan “was reportedly out on parole for stabbing his own mother to death in 2002.”

“Elliot was charged with murder in 2002 for stabbing his mother three times in the chest with a kitchen knife. The attack occurred in front of Elliot’s 5-year-old sister, sources told [the New York Post]. His mother died two days later,” the report continued.

“Elliot was convicted of murder and sentenced to 15 years-to-life in prison. He was twice denied parole but was released on a lifetime parole in 2019,” The Daily Wire added.

Darryl Jones attacked a Jewish family one month after being released after pleading guilty to attempted murder

Just days ago, the New York Post reported that “[a] knife-wielding man on parole for attempted murder randomly attacked a Hassidic couple walking with their 1-year-old in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday — slashing all three family members, cops and police sources said.”

“The man was released from jail last month. He spent several years behind bars after pleading guilty to attempted murder tied to a violent August 2011 robbery on the Upper East Side, according to the sources,” the New York Post added.

Trigger Warning – attack on the Jewish family, including a 1 year old baby, was caught on film.

Watch as Darryl Jones walks by the couple and child then TURNS BACK to stab/cut them with his knife.

This was NOT random; he saw Jews and WALKED BACK to attack them.

Man with 9 prior arrests assaults 68-year-old Sri Lankan on New York City subway, shouting “you mother-f***ing Asian”

“A 68-year-old Asian man has been violently assaulted on the New York City subway by an assailant shouting racial insults, in the latest shocking incident of anti-Asian hate,” reported the Daily Mail.

According to the report, the suspect, Marc Mathieu, has nine prior arrests, and “randomly attacked Bodhi while shouting ‘You Asian motherf***er!’ according to witness George Okrepkie, who aided the victim until police arrived.”

Parolee attempted to sexually assault a 33-year-old woman

In February 2021, the New York Post reported that “[a] parolee allegedly dragged a woman into the bushes in Prospect Park and tried to sexually assault the 33-year-old — but she fought him off and he was soon arrested thanks to a witness who followed him and called 911.”

“Police quickly caught up with the man, who cops identified as Carlis Clarke, after finding video surveillance of him leaving the building. He was charged with criminal sexual act, robbery, and unlawful imprisonment, according to the NYPD,” the New York Post continued.

Clarke was released from prison just days earlier, having served 16 months of a two-year sentence for a weapons conviction, according to prison records.
