It is “unconscionable” that Rikers Island inmates who were released due to coronavirus concerns are committing new crimes, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday.

“I think it’s unconscionable just on a human level that folks were shown mercy and this is what some of them have done,” the mayor said during his morning briefing Monday, which came on the heels of a Post report outlining the issue.

De Blasio said the number of re-offenders remains relatively small and that the city was “buckling down” on monitoring and supervising released prisoners.

“We do see some recidivism. I have not seen a huge amount, but any amount is obviously troubling,” he said.

Interesting choice of words.

un·con·scion·a·ble
/??n'känSH(?)n?b?l/
Learn to pronounce
adjective
not right or reasonable.
"the unconscionable conduct of his son"

So he's surprised that inmates released early from Rikers fricking Island are not being reasonable and acting right?

De Blasio is a fricking clown. Absolute clown.

This idiot is surprised criminals commit crimes if you give them the opportunity to do so. Another example of how stupid progressives really are.

Dear Dumbass De Blasio:

"According to an April 2011 report by the Pew Center on the States, the average national recidivism rate for released prisoners is 43%. According to the National Institute of Justice, almost 44 percent of the recently released return before the end of their first year out."

The word he is looking for is predictable.

Wonder how he thinks they ended up as inmates in the first place?

I am not for one in letting prisoners go, but what the hell did he think was going to happen? They were released into a downed economy with no jobs right now. They basically put people in the streets who couldn’t support themselves. Surprise surprise they turned back to crime.

If someone is released due to this and has already been arrested again just put a bullet in them and be done with it


They are a lost cause

What’s unconscionable is that they were released due to a virus in the first place.

This reminds me of the episode of "The Andy Griffith Show" where Barney tried to help out some prisoners and provided them craft kits. And one of them made a passkey to unlock the cell door.

You know, if only there were laws in place that would address these types of crimes. I mean, we need more gun laws to stop gun violence, amirite? That’s the liberal mantra.

It’s almost like criminals don’t obey the law or something.

It would be cheaper to use just one bullet on the idiot who released them in the first place.
