A week after being released from Rikers Island prison in New York, James Little, a violent felon, was arrested following a failed bank robbery attempt.
Violent Felon Released, Robs Bank
James Little, 40, was released from Rikers Island prison in New York on March 28th, due to fears regarding the coronavirus outbreak. Little had been arrested earlier in the month for allegedly strangling his girlfriend in her home in Brooklyn. He had been on parole since 2016, after serving more than 20 years in prison for a 1995 murder that he had committed when he was just 15 years old.
Only a week after being let out of the New York prison, the violent felon allegedly attempted to rob the Apple Bank in Gramarcy Park in Manhattan. Wearing a face mask and gloves, Little passed the teller a note that read, “give me money,” according to police sources. He left the bank with no extra money in his pocket, and was arrested the next day. Police now believe he robbed two banks in Midtown in January and December last year, making off with over $1,000 from each robbery.
Democrats Are Making This Country Unsafe!
With the recent behaviour from Democrats, this was inevitable. Representatives Jerry Nadler and Karen Bass, both Democrats, sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr at the end of last month demanding that he release “as many prisoners as possible” from the nation’s jails in order to “protect them from COVID-19.”
Individuals at a high risk of catching the coronavirus should be released, they argued, no matter what security category of jail they’re in. It is fair to say that this would have included Mr. Little. Democrats are literally making this country even more dangerous.
And on another note, while New York is letting violent felons and convicted murderers out of jail to go and rob banks, they’re also stopping law-abiding citizens from purchasing firearms! The NRA sued Governor Andrew Cuomo last week for his refusal to classify gun stores as essential businesses during the coronavirus pandemic, in a direct contradiction to federal recommendations. With gun stores being prevented from opening and violent criminals being let onto the streets, New Yorkers should probably be a tad more concerned for their safety than they usually are!
who was the guy that got arrested repeatedly and let go without bail, to be arrested mere hours later? liberals have let brain damage go mainstream in the party. Nauseous Nancy, Lyin, Cryin Chuclehead, Piece Of Schiff, Addled Adler, all the way up to Joe Dementia…..every. one. of. them…..wouldn’t know the truth if it him em like a 2×4 upside the head. None of them can open their mouths without lying. it’s truly a mental disorder.
DUH! WHAT DID YOU THINK THEY WOULD DO. DOLLAR STORE AND WALMART IS HIRING BUT THEY SHOULD BE IN JAIL.THEY CAN SELF QUARANTINE IN CELL. ANOTHER BAD IDEA DEMOCRATS WHO PROVED THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY RELEASING CRIMINALS INA ALREADY OVER UNEMPLOYED SOCIETY.
Dimocrats want people like that to be able to vote. Talk about twisted.
I think maybe Little and Cummo should be cell mates together and Andrew could learn the finer points of prison life course he would probably enjoy it I think he is as queer as 3 dollar bill
This just proves my point about how stupid the law in new York is. This includes aoc ,clinton ,Pelosi, schiff, nadler ,obama and the rest of the corrupt Democrat officials in New York are ??????
Oh nooooo! God forbid a murderer, rapist, robber, etc, etc. Get this. Those poor babies! OMG!! They’re CRIMINALS!! Some of them killed people!!! Who gives a rats a…. if they d i e! They deserve it. WHY?? Because they KILLED people!!, OMG! What part of that do you f c g NOT understand!!!
Prisons are a dangerous place to live. That is why correctional officers have to be professionals with pay for their ability to supervise, communicate, and be ethical. It is more dangerous for the watchers than the watched who are responsible for their safety and security.
Part of the sentence is to be subjected to exposure. Plea bargaining turned the criminal justice system into bargain basement justice regardless of the behaviors and acts.
If you kill someone, it should be a life sentence to remove the killer from society. To execute them is to justify killing based on a “reason.” There are always reasons a killer uses to justify dehumanizing and discounting the value of a life. Most criminals themselves believe in capital punishment for that reason. But, then, they see themselves as victims only when they are held accountable.
If the terrorism of prohibition for substances were not abused by criminalization, there would be more room for robbers, rapists, and murders. Certainly, we would have longer sentences for child rapers.
In no case should these dangerous people be allowed to walk the streets again, ever. They can never make their victims whole from a robbery, rape, or murder. At no point can you ever trust them again with a sharp stick or a rock, much less hammers, knives, and guns. No one is reformed by coercion with incarceration. That society thinks you can brainwash a robber, rapist or murder into responsible behavior is a hypocrisy.
Just keep them in their cells, if the get the virus give the a Zpack, hydrochlorquine and they will be better in a few days. Not out in public causing mayhem.. This letting out of prisoners is just plain stupid.
I agree. The term “Democratic” is purely Orwellian.
Why are they releasing criminals because they live in close quarters of others? What about our military personnel who live in close quarters too? or is it an excuse to lessen there prison population expenses.
The Dems also gave him a voter’s ID.
The more government “fixes” a thing, the worse it gets. If it makes sense, requires prior planning, or works, they will fix it until it does not. They would rather do something wrong than nothing at all. Democrats are not democratic. They are corrupt coercive collectivists engaged in a racketeer influenced corrupt organization. The DNC, if they were not for political immunity, would be convicted of the RICO Act.
Great work letting him out, Cuomo. He MUST be a career criminal so keep him in for life now.
What did they think would happen when they release criminals during a time there are no jobs for anyone!
None of these prisoners should be released over Covid 19. They don’t release them over the flu and this is no different. It is just another Dem/Communist way of controlling us.
OK, raise of hands, who’s shocked?
The solution is to strip Cuomo’s bodyguards of guns. If that was Trump who released this criminal, the news will be all over the place in weeks.
all thanks to the liberal left.
what do we even need prisons for? can’t we just give them a slap on the wrist? they said they were sorry.
REALLY; what did you think would happen? You bleeding hearts will be the death of me.
How is letting them out of prison any safer against the virus? Non- prisoners are dying by the hundreds in NYC. They’re probably safer in prison – I know the rest of us are!
Billy DeBlabbermouth is really a genius, isn’t he?
Why isn’t any story about James Little including a photo? What on’t they want us to see?
What’s so surprising the Democrats are the Criminals! They are part of an Organized Crime Mob that has taken over our government, because that is where the real money is and they and they are not getting caught because the FBI is part of the gang.
The guy trying to rob the bank is at least honest about being a criminal.
The people of New York are so brainwashed that they will still vote for him and deblowhole
He needed his stimulus money. He was going to pay it back.
They don’t care, they’re in gated communities or guarded apartment blocks
Better yet, give him a free dose of fentanyl on his first day at work and hide the narcan! Make it quick and painless and get on with our lives.
As I see it, they will try to get votes any way they can and with the number of criminals lurking in our society today, they see a gold mine! First there was pay to play, and now there is prey to play.
This is so pathetic that I am forced to laugh just in order to maintain my sanity amidst a world that is going crazy!
most of new York [by acreage] is conservative, the governor is elected by nyc
I have written to NYGOP and suggested they run ads pointing out how the cuomo syndicate has placed the city itself directly at risk, not only this but their continued failure to fulfill their responsibility concerning medical supplies, they just might have a chance even with the miscounts
heard on radio, have not checked 39,000,000 [yes six zeros] masks that were sent to Albany are now unaccounted for. At its best that is massive incompetence. I suspect the actual explanation has more to do with grifting
Do the Democrats want to increase the crime rate ?
yes
that will prove the need for more government
Dodorats who release criminals who commit more crimes should be charged and sentenced to do time as criminal accessories.
The politicians being paid by taxpayers are just as guilty as the criminals themselves, by letting them out free when committing crimes. When being paid by taxpayers to help them not asking for crime.
remember how many Obama released from prison’s
Thank the loony liberal NY Governor for that one. You can sit back and watch the crime rate climb right before your eyes.
I hope he was wearing a mask.
No Surprise here just Liberalism at work the New Normal.
If they are in prison, how are they being exposed to Coronavirus?
Let Nadler and Bass know they are responsible for this, demand laws that make it legal to treat any legislator responsible for this to be treated the same way
gee, they should have given him money when they let him out, very stressful for prisoners
This bloke was no better then any of the Democrats who pushed for the release from gaol of these criminals. The only thing different is he was caught and gaoled. His mates in the Democrat camp are still holding out. They will be caught doing what they do best. Robbing the Poor to feed their Greed.
These released convicts or illegals for that matter will never waste their time voting!!!
“They’re totally focused on protecting criminal, [a future Dem voting bloc].”
Fixed it.
The important part for Andrew the Smug is “Did we give this guy a voter’s card when he left prison?”
Yepper, its Just the beginning and it’s going to get worse.
Thanks, Brother Andrew. Maybe this dude could be your valet. Further evidence that:
“Liberalism is a mental disorder.” — Michael Savage
This man, should have never been released from jail ! He was not in for something minor. This man tried to strangle his girlfriend ! That is not a minor crime. Do the Democrats want to increase the crime rate ? That was a TERRIBLE idea on the part of both Jerry Nadler, and Karen Bass !
Make him work in the E.R. without gloves or a mask for a month .
Blame Governor Cuomo for these Coronavirus releases & also signing the Bail Reform Act— Democrats have lost all concern for crime victims. They’re totally focused on protecting criminals.
