 â€˜Outrageous’ bill may release murderers, rapists back on city streets

A state bill that could unleash hundreds of locked-up murderers, rapists and other hardened felons is incensing New York City law enforcement officials who say it would undo years of crime-fighting.

The “elder parole” bill, which would grant parole eligibility to all inmates ages 55 and up who have been in prison at least 15 years, is “outrageous and idiotic,” said Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon.

The legislation would even extend to those serving life without parole, a group which includes famed criminals such as ‘90s serial killer Joel Rifkin, the Queens Wendy’s massacre mastermind John Taylor, and Bronx child rapist Clarence Moss.

The rush to let killers loose leaves the families of the victims by the wayside, said Queens Chief Assistant District Attorney John Ryan.

55 is not that old.  Change it to 85.

This is just an opening salvo by the SJWs. Their goal is to get all non-white convicts out of prison because of "white supremacy" "racism" blah, blah, blah. Their conceit that they've had for fifty years is that all black convicts were put there unfairly for political reasons on flimsy charges related to possessing recreational drugs.
Their release will just result in many more innocent black people being assaulted/murdered by the violent ex-cons.

This is some of the junk that helps people push capital punishment, death sentence.

When life without patrol can be changed later, people may not longer want that as the option.

Here in Californistan the citizens have repeatedly voted for the death penalty and the dems repeatedly ignored the will of the people, even if the jury and judge(when the judge doesn't outright defy the will of the jury) sentence a criminal to death, it means a slow, slow death by old age at exorbitant expense to the taxpayer.

I want to see the death penalty actually enforced, and to make it an actual deterrent, execute the criminal in the same manner as their victim. After the murderer didn't give squat about cruel and unusual, just think how quick a good number of animals will learn.

You and I both know that won't happen.

Imho...this release has more to do with finances.  It costs a lot to take care of all of these "old" people.
