Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and three other House Democrats from New York called on Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Hochul Tuesday to release all inmates held on Rikers Island, citing a long-running pattern of “human right violations” at the jail. Ocasio-Cortez made the extraordinary demand in a letter to de Blasio and Hochul issued jointly with Reps. Jamaal Bowman, Nydia Velazquez and Jerrold Nadler, who chairs the powerful House Judiciary Committee. In addition to freeing the roughly 6,000 inmates on the island, the four lawmakers wrote that the jail itself should be “immediately” shuttered and federal funding for its operations seized.
I hope they do and I hope she is taped and killed by someone they release.

How about casting your eyes to Washington DC and calling for the release of the political prisoners being held since January 6th, little socialist Sandy? Those are the individuals you should be concerned about. Not Rikers Island residents.

Where are REPUBLICAN members of Congress and federal court law suits regarding the political prisoners being mistreated (alleged beatings and solitary confinement, etc.) in DC since January 6th?
Some of us remember how - years ago - federal judges were issuing many scathing opinions about the horrendous, illegal, inexcusable, and unconstitutional abuse of prisoners because of haircuts, showers, and food that did not meet prisoners' menu demands.

How about a swap? Release all inmates currently held on Rikers Island and transport them to AOC's district in exchange for incarcerating AOC at Rikers Island.

Think those conditions are inhumane? To get incarcerated in NYC you have to do something truly inhumane over and over again. Compare and contrast... Then give her your drink order, save the tip for the "needy".

Oddly enough the bus that drives you when you are released from Rikers let’s the prisoners out in her district. Right in front of the donut shop at 5 AM. Have at it!

You could say, “these people are nuts,” but that’s making the assumption they somehow act on behalf of America, when the truth is leaders like Ms Ocasio-Cortez wish to destroy the country. Once you make that assumption, no actions of the Marxist-Democrat party seem irrational.

That's it, release the animals into the population. Then they can do what they do best, murder, rape, assault and steal. And you freakin morons in NYC voted for these hypocrites. You deserve everything you get. When are you fools going to wake up. Fact is, we need more prisons...

I’m sure that all of those thugs would really enjoy the upscale DC apartment building where the little communist lives. Send them there.

That would be about 6,000 inmates being set free. How many does she want in her apartment building?
