NEW YORK — In this city, thugs have powerful help getting away with crime.
A teen who was stopped and frisked by an alert Bronx cop while carrying a loaded gun in 2010 had his Family Court weapons possession rap tossed last week by the state Appellate Division, which ruled that the frisk was unnecessary and wrong. Ha!
The 14-year-old offender, Darryl Craig, soon got hold of another weapon and shot a man, twice, The Post’s Larry Celona reported. He was moving in for the kill, cops say, when his victim’s children screamed.
Craig was charged with attempted murder.
Then, another judge granted Craig youthful-offender status and sealed the case.
The intense opposition to stop-and-frisk puts us all at risk. And judges, fond of coddling violent offenders, won’t see it.
This has to stop.
Our lives depend on it.
