New in PJ Media:
With his indictment of Donald Trump, Alvin Bragg has secured his place in history. He could end up being remembered as the rogue, rabidly partisan prosecutor who administered the coup de grace to America’s staggering republic by indicting the chief opponent of the ruling regime on the flimsiest of charges. Even if he had never indicted Trump, however, Bragg has distinguished himself for aiding and abetting the decline of New York City from a drug-ravaged, crime-ridden hellhole that retained some of its former elegance to an even more drug-ravaged, crime-ridden hellhole with no elegance at all. Alvin Bragg is a quintessential example of the hard Left in power. It’s not pretty. The latest example of his misrule in Gotham is his charge of attempted murder against a man who was simply defending himself against the crime Bragg has unleashed.
The New York Post reported Saturday that a parking garage attendant in Manhattan, Moussa Diarra, has been charged with attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon after confronting a thief in the garage where he worked on West 31st Street. Diarra, according to the Post, “saw a man peering into cars” in the garage. “Believing the man was stealing, the attendant brought him outside and asked what was inside his bag.” As it turned out, the man had a gun. “Diarra tried to grab for the weapon, and it went off — leaving him shot in the stomach and grazed in the ear by a bullet before he turned the firearm on the would-be thief and shot him in the chest.”
Bragg’s office is not entirely insane: it levied the same charges against the man who was apparently casing cars and looking for one to break into: attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon and added on burglary as well. The similarity of the charges against Diarra and the man who attacked him is striking. In Alvin Bragg’s Manhattan, apparently, a criminal and a man who attempts to defend himself from a criminal are equivalent. In light of the fact that Bragg’s spurious indictment of Trump was itself an essentially criminal act against the rule of law in the United States, there is a certain bizarre appropriateness in this.
Mariame Diarra, whom the Post identifies as a “family friend” who is “not related to the attendant,” was outraged at the charges against Moussa Diarra, saying, “That’s self-defense. The guy tried to rob his business. He’s there for security. That’s literally his job, to defend his business… He takes his job seriously… Attempted murder charge has no place there.” Mariame Diarra added that the attempted robber “came to find him at his job with his gun, he has to defend himself.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

the ugly bragg art is a criminal. He’s on record saying that the police are the problem and showing his racial bias.
He’s one of those fulfilling Isaiah 5:20
marja linde says
he looks like a criminal and liar and racist who hates all white people. He should be indicted and fired from his position

Alvan Bragg is the one who should be arrested and put in prison .Even before he maliciously has gone after Donald Trump that villainous DA did everything to get real criminals, street hooligans, “off the hook” then they committed violent crimes.
For example, Bragg when out of his way to get a vicious violent thug , who even had a long history of committing violent crimes, freed after he entered a store and brutally attacked the shop owner . Bragg even went further , in his despicable mentally , he attempted to get the store own charged with assault for only defending himself after being first attacked by the horrible hooligan.
The former US President, James Monroe, had it right , when he said ” The right of self- defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and individuals.”

He is the perfect DA for criminals. Which runs counter to his job description
Somebody should put a bullet through his head: let’s see if his department stands true to his & Soros’ principles, and declines to prosecute
somehistory says
According to FOX News
“DA Alvin Bragg will not prosecute NYC garage worker who shot armed thief”

And Mr. Andrew McCarthy (former federal prosecutor {ksm prosecutor} has some interesting things to share regarding bragg and his charges against Mr. Trump.
““ federal prosecutors decided wasn’t worth charging at all,” explains Andrew McCarthy at Fox News, it’s “ a classic abuse of power,” a bid to “camouflage with quantity” the case’s “lack of quality.” Fact is, “when serious crimes have been committed, prosecutors do not need to run up the score with a high number of counts.” But “ if prosecutors do not have evidence of a serious crime, by loading up an indictment with dozens of charges, they can try to signal to the eventual trial jury that the defendant must be guilty of something.” It’s “a significant enough due process abuse” that the federal Justice Department directs “prosecutors not to engage in it.” So: “If Bragg is indicting 34 counts over this nonsense, it’s because he doesn’t have one count he would be indicting if he were doing his job right.”

Thanks for those links, Somehistory–glad to hear it. Insane that the DA’s office ever charged him to begin with, though.
somehistory says
One of the attorneys said the cops had to “sort it out” since both he and the criminal were shot. bragg has dropped the charges…at least “for the time’ …
The perp had a long list of offenses.
James Lincoln says
somehistory says,
“The perp had a long list of offenses.”
Ironically, the perp would still be alive if his “long list of offenses” were dealt with properly by DA Bragg at the time.
Unintended consequences – and no one notices.
somehistory says
James, bragg doesn’t ‘deal with the crimes properly’ because he identifies with the criminal.
In an interview, he whined about his first encounters with the police. and he says the problems come from law enforcement and there should be fewer police.
If he actually believed Trump was as guilty as he claims, would he be prosecuting such a terrible criminal or would he allow Trump to walk the streets freely? He is currently allowing felons to walk freely.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
Bragg treats Trump – a noncriminal – much worse than ACTUAL criminals in New York City.
All due to partisan politics.
But you knew that already.
Walter Sieruk says
DA Alvin Bragg is the personification of the two words “unethical” and “corrupt.” Bragg should be disbarred.
Walter Sieruk says
Alvan Bragg is the one who should be arrested and put in prison .Even before he maliciously has gone after Donald Trump that villainous DA did everything to get real criminals, street hooligans; “off the hook” then they committed violent crimes.

Walter Sieruk says
Definitely That awful man ,Alvin Bragg, should be disbarred and be put in prison .Even before he
maliciously has gone after Donald Trump that villainous DA did everything to get real criminals , street hooligans, “off the hook” then they committed violent crimes.
As ,for example, Bragg went out of his way to get a vicious violent thug , who even had a long history of committing violent crimes, freed after he entered a store and brutally attacked the shop owner . Bragg even went further , in his despicable mentally , he attempted to get the store own charged with assault for only defending himself after being first attacked by the horrible hooligan.
Therefore such horrible characters as Bragg , him and other like him stand condemned in the Bible.
For in Proverbs 17 : 15 the reader in informed that “Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent – the Lord detest them both.” [N.I.V.]

This Is Alvin Bragg: Charges Man With Attempted Murder for Shooting Back at Thief Who Shot Him
……………………………
Utter madness–all the more so since the victim is an attendant, hired to protect the garage.
We have a similarly unhinged, pro-criminal DA here in Alameda County–Pamela Price.
bill carr says
I thought it was the gun lobby’s basic justification for ownership. That to stop a bad guy with a gun there has to be a good guy with a gun, which obviously means the good guy has to kill to bad guy. In this case he did not even try to kill the bad guy as the single gun (brought by the bad guy) went off in the struggle
Et si... says
Incredible that people of this caliber can have such an important position? But let that not prevent the people of this town from filing a complaint against him and asking for his resignation! The people are king when they speak out against injustice!
The Sorros, cancerous wound, is still alive?
E T says
George Soros vowed a long time ago he would defeat President Trump.
The pending case, is a state-dated alleged misdemeanour that has been “trumped” up to a crime because of the allegations that it was committed to facilitate a felony. It is a case put together on the testimony of a disbarred and convicted perjurer presenting extorted evidence on a basis of a corrupt plea bargain.
Soros spent millions to have the likes of Alvin Bragg elected. Georgie boy’s Open Society wants to abolish family, prisons, police and Capitalism. Soros’s billions have bought many souls. God save America from such evil.
MSM Trump Derangement Syndrome has been viciously promoted by Soros.
Thomas Paine said, “To argue with a person who has denounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.”
