Elyse Maister, the Jewish woman allegedly struck by Tiffany Harris, is brave. Didn’t need to speak up & who knows what her community might think. She did what felt right bc using her is so wrong. “I feel like politicians are exploiting these incidents to roll back bail reform.”
While NY tabloids, police & prosecutors have been busy attacking Tiffany Harris, Maister, the young Jewish woman allegedly attacked by Harris, knew from the beginning she was in need of help: “In the moment she seemed like in some emotionally distressed state, just unwell.”
While NY police, prosecutors, & politicians claim to speak for victims, here’s how one speaks: “How to make society safer in the long run is to actually address people’s underlying mental health issues & needs. I think it’s better for everyone if people who need help receive it.”
