There is no dancing around the reality: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is a pro-criminal activist pretending to be a prosecutor.

Bragg’s office has dropped the trespassing charges against 30 of the protesters who invaded a building at Columbia University. His team also tried to drop charges against 14 more so long as they avoided being arrested for the next six months, but they turned down the deal. That means that for the entire protest during which people illegally occupied a university building and barricaded themselves inside, Bragg has determined just one person is worth actually charging with a crime.

Bragg’s team cited a lack of evidence in the cases against these antisemitic activists, claiming that they had worn masks and obscured cameras to hide their identities. It is a shame he found no other way to determine who was illegally trespassing, such as considering the arrests of these activists occurring inside the building in which they are accused of trespassing.

Yes, all the people getting off scot-free, thanks to Bragg’s office, and the ones he wanted to drop charges against with a deal, were arrested inside the building, according to multiple reports. At the very least, you would think that means there is enough evidence for a single trespassing charge to stick, wouldn’t you?

But Bragg is pro-criminal, to the point that one of his prosecutors argued the defendants should not face criminal penalties because they have no track record. Not like that would stop Bragg anyway, as he is a master at targeting the wrong people while letting real miscreants go free. Among the lowlights of his tenure are prosecuting an elderly man for defending himself against a violent parolee who attacked him, but letting a rapist plead down from first-degree rape and sexual assault to second-degree coercion. The latter still could have resulted in a four-year prison sentence, but Bragg gave the man only a 30-day sentence instead until he ended up reoffending — five times, in fact.

Bragg is a political activist who imposes his ideology and partisanship on the justice system he is supposed to oversee. Rather than prosecute criminals and keep New York residents safe, Bragg wants to keep as many actual criminals out of jail as possible and prosecute his party’s political opponents instead. His first priority in his prosecutorial decisions is what he can do to help criminals stay free, and this is yet another example of what that looks like.
