Do you understand that is done every day in every courtroom in America, you dope?
Yes it is for people deserving of a break like some young kid with no criminal record busted for a small amount of coke, but not for career criminals that never learned their lesson and are constantly in trouble with the cops:
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has no problem
inflating dubious misdemeanor charges against President Donald Trump into felonies, yet when it comes to real-life career criminals, even violent ones, he does the opposite —
reducing felonies to mere misdemeanors.
That’s what
he did last week for Rodney Johnson , 53, who has nearly 90 collars (yes,
90! ) on his rap sheet going back to the ’80s.
The charges include domestic violence after he allegedly threatened to kill his girlfriend, robbery with intent to cause physical injury, extensive narcotics sales and more.
He’s done time in state prison for robbery and grand larceny and blown off a court-ordered intervention program three times in connection to a felony robbery case.
None of that mattered to Bragg & Co.
When cops hauled in Johnson on third-degree robbery charges over thefts at two Manhattan pharmacies — including one where he’s said to have threatened workers with pepper spray — the DA’s office dropped all charges to misdemeanor menacing and petty larceny.

Before
Bragg's backtracking, weapon-wielding career criminal William Rolon was arrested for stealing over $2,000 worth of merchandise by threatening a female drugstore manager with a knife. Cops slapped Rolon with felony first-degree robbery and criminal possession of a weapon, but when the suspect was arraigned in Manhattan criminal court,
he was only charged with misdemeanor petit larceny, in line with Bragg's "Day One" directives. Based on the ex-convict's lengthy rap sheet, the repeat robber should "feel lucky" and would've faced "a long period of time in jail," if not for Bragg,
a judge told Rolon at the arraignment.
Bragg let accused murderer Tracy McCarter, who stabbed her estranged husband James Murray to death, off the hook. Pre-primary victory, Bragg had tweeted support for the defendant, which the Color of Chance PAC, a vocal advocate of McCarter's release,
believed to be a campaign "promise" that he, at first, failed to keep. The anti-police political action committee had
pledged $1 million to Bragg's campaign, although it
quietly withdrew half over a "disturbing" allegation against Bragg, in May 2021, when liberal mega-donor George Soros
donated $1 million to the Color of Chance PAC ahead of Bragg's packed primary.
The court found "no compelling reason to dismiss the indictment, but for the District Attorney's unwillingness to proceed," Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Diane Kiesel
wrote of Bragg's "recommendation for dismissal," noting that "the public could perceive this dismissal as bought and paid for with campaign contributions and political capital." Court documents had cited the Color of Change pressuring Bragg to use his prosecutorial discretion in favor of the PAC's stance on the McCarter murder case.
A similar case of armed shoplifting at a TJ Maxx took place days before, in which Manhattan prosecutors
reduced what would've been a felony robbery charge to misdemeanor petit larceny, per Bragg's first-day marching orders. NYPD's Sergeant Benevolent Association, a police union, had accused Bragg's office of underplaying the incident by "intentionally omitting" key information from the criminal complaint—an accusatory instrument used to charge suspects—pertaining to a pair of cutting-shears brandished at employees in the violent theft. Leaving out those details, regarding the forcible taking of goods with the threat of physical injury, set the difference in charging and led to assault-and-robbery recidivist Christian Hall's release without bail.
Last summer,
a man accused of raping his teenage relative secured a sweetheart deal—a mere 30-day jail sentence plus probation—from Bragg's office in August 2022. After agreeing to plead down to a coercion charge in the teen-rape case, Justin Washington then allegedly went on a sex-crime rampage and sexually terrorized five victims just a month later. Washington was first hit with first-degree rape and first-degree sexual abuse, but Bragg's prosecutors downgraded the charges after determining there wasn't enough evidence. Under the "sweet" plea agreement, Washington wouldn't have had to register as a sex offender.

The list goes on and on. But the bottom line is Fat Alvin is pro-criminal taking payoffs to put dangerous criminals back out into the street. Is it any wonder why people are fleeing the city in droves?
