Some crime stories are disturbing. Others are infuriating. And then there are the ones that make you stop and ask “How on earth is this person still on the streets?” And then you realize, oh, it’s a Dem-run city; that’s why.

The latest story of Dems being soft on crime comes out of New York City, where a black man accused of setting someone on fire in Penn Station wasn’t some unknown guy who suddenly snapped. According to police, he was really, really well known to the system.
In fact, he had 131 prior arrests.
Yes, you read that correctly. One hundred and thirty-one.
It’s hard to find the words to even discuss this absurdity. But here it goes… a system that allows someone to cycle through arrest after arrest – 131 times – without being permanently removed from society is a system that protects criminals, not innocent people.
For years now, Democrat politicians have pushed a sweeping and dangerously irresponsible set of criminal justice reforms. From “defund the police” craziness to the outrageous bail reform and absurdly lenient sentencing, it’s all built around this half-baked idea that criminals are just misunderstood people who just need another chance.
One hundred and thirty-one, apparently.
But when this “misunderstood” gentleman is allowed to walk the streets and sets a homeless man on fire in one of the busiest transit hubs in America, the obvious question is, how many chances are enough? Seriously.
The details of the attack itself are disturbing.
According to police, the victim was simply sleeping when the violent assault started.
The victim was dozing near a W. 33rd St. entrance to Penn Station’s Amtrak rotunda near Eighth Ave. when he was approached by three people, one of whom set fire to the man’s clothes around 8:30 p.m., cops said.
This poor guy was sleeping when the madman lit him on fire.
Prosecutors later described surveillance footage of the horrifying moment during the suspect’s arraignment.
DN:
During Johnson’s arraignment, Callum Mullan, a prosecutor with the Manhattan district attorney’s office, described video of the attack that shows Johnson leaning over the victim, who moments later ‘begins wailing and convulsing and scrambled to his feet with his jacket on fire.
The victim feverishly tried to put out the flames while also trying to get away from the madman, all in the middle of Penn Station.
First responders rushed him to the hospital with serious burns.
DN:
Johnson is currently on parole for a 2018 robbery, in which he slashed a student’s face before taking cash from his pockets, according to Mullan, who said the victim required more than 100 stitches.
Even that violent robbery wasn’t enough for Dems to keep him behind bars.
And then comes the statistic that makes this story almost impossible to believe.
DN:
Beginning in 1995 with an assault charge in the Bronx, Johnson’s criminal record includes 131 prior arrests, cops said.
One hundred and thirty-one separate encounters with the criminal justice system, and this monster is still waltzing around the city. Meanwhile, non-violent J6 political prisoners were thrown in solitary confinement for years.

For years now, progressive activists and politicians have been pushing these dangerous policies that tie the hands of police and coddle criminals.
And if you think New York can be saved, guess again. This was a post from the current mayor.
In one June 2020 post on X, Mamdani wrote: “We don’t need an investigation to know that the NYPD is racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety. What we need is to #DefundTheNYPD.”
That pro-criminal mindset exploded in 2020, when “defund the police” became the big left-wing slogan.
Sane people warned that weakening policing while constantly cutting criminals loose was going to create a revolving door. Arrest, release, repeat. Over and over again.
And 131 arrests later, the sane people were right.
And with leadership in New York (and other Dem-run cities) that still embraces the same soft-on-crime philosophy that helped create this mess, you can bet the criminal revolving door will keep spinning.

For the people who actually live in these cities, the only real way to change course is the same way it always has been.
At the ballot box.
Hopefully, they’ll wake up and take back their city from the violent criminals.
