Seth. This man was arrested & jailed on bail he couldn’t afford over one hundred times over decades in a never-ending cycle of poverty, jail, & release w/o any help or services. And your “solution” is to continue the same failed strategy? His case underscores the need for reform.
This is who @SethBarronNYC is. Mindlessness at @nypost. Trying to kill bail reform w/ lies. Last month he disparaged Kalief Browder, innocent teen & symbol for the need for bail reform as: “A convicted car thief who was arrested for the strongarm robbery of a Mexican immigrant.”
I wrote a few days ago about how the man arrested & now being used by racist, hateful tabloids & reporters to root for a return to mass jailing, actually makes the case for bail reform. Thread here:
I’m genuinely curious about people like @SethBarronNYC. Do they really believe the crap they write? Or are they just really bad character actors in the perpetual alliance between police & pro-carceral politicians that drove mass incarceration & are now trying to perpetuate it.
