Luigi Mangione’s dropped terrorism charges: Letters

The Issue: Justice Gregory Carro throwing out terrorism charges against the alleged CEO killer.

It is hard to believe that a coward who allegedly shot a CEO in the back because he disagreed with him had his charges reduced — and is admired because he looks like a movie star (“It Sure Was Terrorism,” Editorial, Sept. 17).

Only in judicially corrupt New York City can criminals like these be condoned, celebrated and see charges dropped.

What happened to the New York City we became on Sept. 12, 2001, when everyone came together? People used to solve disagreements with words — now they use bullets.

God help and save New York and the United States.

What was Justice Gregory Carro thinking when he threw out the terrorism charges against suspected killer Luigi Mangione?

He is setting an awful precedent here.

If I were a CEO, especially in New York City, I’d hire a bodyguard.

The freak show outside the Manhattan Supreme Court after Judge Carro threw out the terrorism charges against Mangione looked like a field trip from a mental institution.

These losers need to get their sorry selves jobs.

Carro invited this spectacle by ruling as he did when he should have let the charge stand and be considered at trial.

These women looking with hunger at an alleged murderer are delusional.

I’m sure Mangione will continue to receive proposals of love, but I, for one, pray he serves maximum time in prison.

It is unacceptable that, because you disagree with a company’s business, you kill a man who is just doing his job.

While admittedly the district attorney’s job is to convince the jury, the judge is still there to protect the rights of even the likes of Mangione and should not allow charges with no basis in fact to be levied against a defendant.

In fact, overcharging often results in acquittals for some very heinous individuals.

There has not yet been enough evidence to sustain a terrorism charge against Mangione.

For The Post’s editorial to characterize the judge’s ruling as lawless is shameful.

When one doesn’t agree with a judge’s ruling, one appeals the decision — one does not castigate the judge.

The Issue: How parole “reforms” left Jamel McGriff free to allegedly commit a double murder.

Never mind Jamel McGriff not being picked up for a parole violation last November; consider the fact that he would still be in jail if he had served his full time for previous crimes he committed, and thus unable to prey upon Maureen and Frank Thomas Olton (“How Dems Made Parole a Joke,” Editorial, Sept. 15).

I’m sure the compassion extended to him by the Parole Board is cold comfort to the Oltons’ loved ones.

The murder of the Olton couple underscores the utter failure of New York’s Democrat-controlled Legislature.

If McGriff had faced consequences for failing to register as a sex offender, the Oltons would be alive.

How many more horror stories must occur before the Democrats are voted out of office?

Regarding the far too many cases similar to the Olton couple’s murder, it’s interesting to note that despite the majority of deviants having long criminal records, there’s little to no action taken by authorities to keep them from reoffending.

There is no such thing as “rehabilitation” — this is just what criminals do.
