Which sides were the shills in that story? Was it the alt-right "thah! This is what ya get without the thin blue line" or the fixie riding tankies saying "everything is perfect, I've never even heard of crime here before, and the whole place smells like fresh clean ocean breeze!"
At least in the NYC subreddit, we have a consistent group of a few dozen people who blame Alvin Bragg for every single thing that happens in the city. Never mind the fact that he’s only the Manhattan DA; you’ll see the same handles blame him for random crimes that happen in other boroughs.
Okay, but that doesn’t really change what I’ve said: it simply doesn’t make sense to blame the Manhattan DA for crime in other boroughs. It’s like blaming the mayor of LA for crime in Peoria.
