The Issue: Gov. Hochul’s ability to remove Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is a remnant of the left-wing movement who must be removed from office if New York City is to join in the renaissance that the country is about to experience under President-elect Donald Trump (“New Yorkers say enough,” Dec. 11).
He abused his power as DA by shamelessly dragging Trump into court on ridiculous charges in a failed attempt to short-circuit his 2024 run for president.
Bragg’s policies have rendered our streets and subways less safe, and his decision to prosecute Penny should be the last straw for the Gov. Hochul, who has the power to remove him from office.

Under just societal structures and sensibilities, Daniel Penny would be honored as a hero. Not, so under “progressive” DA Bragg.
Can New York City really expect anything more from a DA that deemed it crucial to pursue a case of bribe money paid to a porn star? Nope!

In 1996, Bronx District Attorney Rob Johnson was preparing for a capital murder case where an NYPD officer was killed.
Johnson declared he personally was against the death penalty, therefore he would not seek it in the case.
Gov. George Pataki acted swiftly and removed Johnson. Pataki clearly understood a prosecutor’s personal opinions had no place in how he would enforce the law.
Fast forward to Bragg and his shameless use of the race card as a deciding factor when it comes to who he prosecutes. Violent felons walk away scot-free, while good Samaritans face the full weight of the law.
Bragg has stained the reputation of what was once the premiere prosecutor’s office in the country.

Don’t look behind the curtain, the Wizard of Oz Bragg is doing a great job wrecking New York City.
While Bragg lunches at restaurants on Broadway in Manhattan, he travels very well-protected.
Without his four-man NYPD security detail, Bragg would have to do his job — protecting and defending ordinary citizens, who are taxpayers and voters.

The Issue: The public’s reaction to Luigi Mangione’s arrest as the UnitedHealthcare CEO murderer.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren said “People can only be pushed so far” (“Left’s warped sense of right,” Dec. 11)
Her statement should put her on a trash heap, but she represents a truly liberal state, so she won’t be replaced. It is sad how far this country has gone.

Luigi Mangione is not a hero. He shot an innocent man in the back in cold blood.
The people who have cheered him on are sicker than he is. He should be charged with first-degree murder.
The ones who are selling merchandise related to this senseless tragedy should not make a penny on this crime.
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was not to blame for Mangione’s problems. He did not deserve what happened to him.

It is a sad commentary on our society when young people cheer on a murderer.
These people are lost.

Let’s remember one thing — murder is a crime. Even The Clash got that right back in 1982.
Without due process under the law, imagine what could become of this country.
