"Oh, noes, he stole a bag of chips from my store!!!" Um, yeah... that's some victim, there.
Okay, let's look at his horrible rap sheet. Keep in mind, this the NY Post, so you have to take it with a very big grain of salt.
"Wright’s prior arrests include grand larceny, assault, soliciting prostitution and drugs."
Okay, well, Prostitution and drugs are victimless crimes, so no victims there. Assault could be a simple fist-fight...
The problem with NYC is that you had decades of Rudy and Bloomberg criminalizing being poor and minority, that's why you have contempt for the law. Except now the prisons are full and the resources aren't there to lock up someone for half a million dollars for stealing a bag of chips or hiring a hooker or smoking some weed.
Despite a decline in prison populations, rising costs mean that New York City is spending more on incarceration than ever before.

So now it's triage... let the petty larcenists go because you need room to lock up the murderers and rapists.
Again, crime has gone down for the last 30 years... but the number of guns keeps going up, and most of them sold to hard-core ammosexuals who think "I gots to have more guns... I just saw a negro on TV stealing a bag of chips!!!"
I'm sure you don't. You guys have defanged and demonized the ATF and you wonder why it can't do it's job.
The vast majority of gun murders aren't "criminals", they are idiots who decided to settle a family or neighborly argument with a gun. We've been over this.
The gang drive by gets all the news coverage.
The guy who shoots his wife for burning the pot roast doesn't.
