We just saw the light with the end of Bill de Blasio’s tenure, only to have a Manhattan district attorney who will allow thugs to rain terror on our citizens (“D.A attempts to ‘trim the facts,’ ” Jan. 9).

Changing the info from police statements, leaving out important details on a crime and allowing violent criminals back on the streets is an offense against hard-working, tax-paying New Yorkers.

What type of person wants this to happen? I question the people who elected him and the system that allows this man to be elected to such an important position.

There has to be a way to get this dangerous individual out. If not, the city will see businesses shut, restaurants closed and its population moving away.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office omitting the fact that a suspect threatened workers with a pair of cutting shears during a robbery of Chelsea’s T.J. Maxx is a slap in the face to store owners, their workers and all law-abiding citizens.

What did newly elected DA Alvin Bragg learn at Harvard Law, and how did he possibly pass the New York state bar exam?

As a native New Yorker, and as someone who is mourning the degradation of our glorious city as the result of COVID and ineffective government, I was shocked to hear that the new Manhattan DA has the mindless audacity to downgrade or not prosecute serious crimes.

I take the subway to work. My work is mostly in Manhattan, and the ugly side of crime is in my face every day.

Bragg either has no grasp of the reality in New York City or is delusional in thinking that not prosecuting criminals will make our city safer.

I am strongly in favor of replacing him with someone who focuses on the welfare of the citizens, not criminals.

A long time ago, Sen. Pat Moynihan used the term “defining deviancy down.” Now Manhattan has a district attorney who is working to define deviancy down.

The new normal will be a constant increase in defined-down criminality and a resulting ever-rising level of violence.

Perhaps you should have changed your front-page headline from “Shear Madness” (Jan. 9) to “Bragging Lies.”

Whoever is in charge of the assistant district attorney who withheld information regarding the scissors-wielding thief should be reprimanded if not fired. If Bragg is responsible for the omission, he should have the decency to resign.

It is hard for me to sleep at night when friends and loved ones either work in or visit Manhattan. The criminals should be fearful to be in the city, not the law-abiding citizens.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is deciding not to prosecute certain minor and major crimes and to read the law according to his left-wing ideology.

His job is to enforce the laws and prosecute offenders appropriately.

It is time to remove this incompetent imbecile before we lose this city to the criminals.

This life-long Democrat will not support the party’s fall to the left, nor its embrace of releasing repeat offenders back on the street.

It’s shocking that new Democratic district attorney, Alvin Bragg, announced his refusal to prosecute certain crimes, ignoring the increasing the danger of living and working in New York City.

Well, New York City voters have done it again.

They switched mayors but nullified the new one’s effectiveness with their new Manhattan DA.

It’s like Whack-A-Mole in New York City: They get rid of one hair-on-fire liberal and elect another.

I was hoping to come back to the city this spring, but not if it’s still open season in the five boroughs.
