What is Lawrence Jones criticizing about Governor Hochul's approach to crime in New York?
Lawrence Jones criticizes Governor Hochul for allowing liberal district attorneys to remain in office despite their policies allegedly enabling violent criminals to stay on the streets. According to Jones, these DA's policies have resulted in people being murdered, raped, and assaulted, yet Hochul has taken no action to remove them from their positions. Jones highlights the apparent contradiction in Hochul's approach, where she's now attempting to remove Mayor Eric Adams (as mentioned in the description) while having previously taken no action against district attorneys whose policies he believes have compromised public safety in New York.

Mayor Adams emphasizes that voter participation is the key solution to addressing the issue of dangerous individuals in communities. When asked about removing dangerous people from the streets, he shifts focus to civic engagement, stating 'we have to get people out to vote.' Adams identifies low voter turnout as 'the problem' at the root of community safety challenges. His response suggests that effective policy changes and public safety improvements ultimately depend on citizens exercising their democratic rights through voting.

The clip highlights a striking contradiction in New York's leadership where Governor Hochul seems willing to remove Mayor Eric Adams for collaborating with the federal government on public safety matters, while previously allowing liberal district attorneys to keep violent offenders on the streets without facing removal. This paradox reveals questionable priorities - punishing a mayor for working with the President to maintain public safety, yet showing leniency toward district attorneys who permitted dangerous criminals to remain free. The commentary suggests this inconsistency reflects problematic governance where political considerations may be prioritized over genuine public safety concerns.

Two major programs have been significantly cut during an emerging public health crisis. First, staff at the CDC working on bird flu have been fired, even as the country faces a massive multistate epidemic affecting tens of millions of animals and increasingly people. Second, all programs in Mexico run by the State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement have been halted. These programs were specifically designed to interrupt the fentanyl supply chain entering the United States, making their elimination particularly concerning for public safety and drug enforcement efforts.

According to the court ruling, Morgan Geyser no longer poses a significant risk to society. The judge stated, "Morgan does not pose a significant risk of bodily harm to herself or others." Despite the seriousness of her past crime, experts noted she has had multiple successful opportunities to be in the community. Morgan has shown growth and rehabilitation since the 2014 Slenderman stabbing incident, with aspirations to become a librarian and continue her writing. Her attorney believes she has demonstrated genuine remorse for her actions, though the victim's family remains concerned about her potential release.
Watch clip answer (01:27m)Is Morgan Geyser still a risk to society after her Slenderman-related crime?
The clip explores whether Morgan Geyser, who committed a crime as a 12-year-old influenced by mental illness and the fictional Slenderman character, is truly reformed or still poses a danger. The court is evaluating her potential release from a mental health institution where she was committed after being found not guilty by reason of mental defect. The focus isn't on whether Morgan will eventually be released, but rather on assessing if the now-adult Morgan behind expressions of remorse is genuinely rehabilitated. The case raises important questions about public safety concerns balanced against mental health considerations in the justice system.
