Mamdani Wants ‘E-ZPass for criminals’

NYP:
Democratic mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani and his comrades at the Democratic Socialists of America want to wipe out the enforcement of all misdemeanor offenses, The Post has learned.

In its most recent platform, the group blasts policing and detention as “instruments of class war” designed to “guarantee the domination of the working class” — and demands an end what it calls “the criminalization of working-class survival.”

“For all of the working class to achieve collective liberation we must constrain, diminish, and abolish the carceral forces of the state — from prisons and police themselves, to their manifestations in all forms throughout society,” according to the national party’s latest platform, adopted in 2021. more

  1. “want to wipe out the enforcement of all misdemeanor offenses”

    This is no change; that is what they are doing now.

    Petty theft, car burglaries, public indecency/intoxication, assault and battery, doing drugs in public, all property crimes, all of these are un-policed.

    Of the state. Of the state. Wait a minute, you are the state. I hope to God the elect this guy. Very slow learners.
