Criminal winds up and hits innocent man in back of head with baseball bat. Man in hospital, criminal released on $7500 bail. That is, attempted murder gets you released on $750 cash. That’s New York City for you.
This is not a justice system. It is not even a legal system. It is merely a very expensive revolving door for violent criminals to go into and out of jail as fast and as easily as possible, so they can victimize even more law-abiding citizens without delay.
Back where I come from, a guy who hit a man in the back of the head with a baseball bat probably would be shot by an armed passer-by. I come from America. I’m really homesick. Any idea how I can get back there?
