Yesterday, the Gounardes family celebrated Father’s Day and the senator shared pictures on social media.
The family involved with the carjacking were at two different hospitals (the children were at Coney Island Hospital and the mother was at Lutheran….and yes, it’s called Lutheran in the news although it has been renamed NYU Langone Hospital).
We agree that bail reform was necessary so that people didn’t get stuck in the system due to poverty.
But something needs to be done because the system is allowing these criminals to become repeat offenders in Brooklyn. Arrests are not being taken seriously now.
When politicians change the law and they see things are going berserk, why haven’t corrected the loopholes in the bill that allow criminals to be repeat offenders?
Commission Shea has repeatedly called for politicians to make a change to the bail law because there are too many criminals abusing the system.
Assemblywoman Mathylde Frontus and Senator Andrew Gounardes have ignored Commissioner Shea and refuse to work with law enforcement on correcting this issue.
Arrested and released the day before

This is what zero consequences looks like
Three separate families impacted
Victims that will suffer physical, financial and emotional scars for years#victimshttps://t.co/kwyB3qgHc9 via @nypmetro
This young family didn’t deserve to be the collateral damage of a loophole law.
