Leftist DAs’ Misguided Acts

THE ISSUE: Tom Hogan’s column on the rise of progressive prosecutors in Democratic-run cities.

In Tom Hogan’s piece on “progressive” prosecutors in Monday’s Post, he omits one quite probable motivation of these destroyers of societal safety (“Cracking the case of the ‘woke’ prosecutor,” Jan 17).

It’s their rage at the utter and complete failure of 50 years’ worth of leftist governmental policies enacted in order to try to raise the educational, economic and familial well-being of America’s black community.

Rather than alter these disastrous policies, these leftist anachronisms posing as DAs choose to rain bedlam on society to “remedy” the disparate impact and inequities for which they, en masse, are responsible. What a pathetic and destructive bunch they are. Anthony Parks

Tom Hogan asks how do we get “woke prosecutors”? Here’s the answer: Mix a big dose of incompetence with a heaping teaspoon of naivete, add ignorance and

finally add a total lack of compassion for those whose lives you’re destroying.

Cook the above on any American campus for six to eight years and turn them loose on any city that will elect them, which seems to be most of them in the country. Steve Heitner
