Whenever a corrupt criminal escapes justice I find myself wondering how much can the People take before they break out the pitchforks

Quite a lot, actually, based on historical precedence.
It’s going to take mass starvation and lack of food access for people to get fed up. It’s always food access that tips the scales.
That’s going to be pretty soon at this rate. The number one reason people are looking the other way is because they’re afraid of losing their jobs and healthcare. We’re heading for a bad recession this summer where a lot of people will lose both anyways. So they will be all out of excuses.
This is also why fired federal workers are one of the angriest groups so far.
Also, food isn’t the only way to get people to turn to violence. Violence against a population, collective punishment, and unnecessarily dangerous work conditions work as well. The American Revolution turned from a political squabble to a military one when the British heavily occupied Boston as punishment. Labor strikes used to be violent, mainly out of necessity.

I’d argue that it is back to being necessary.
Most people do not care if some corrupt politician whose activities seem inconsequential to their own circumstances is getting away. It needs to affect them in a tangible way for people to care.
In the opulence of America, things would have to change dramatically. Like, across the entire nation people witnessing their neighbors and family members dying kind of dramatically. Existential threat in a clear and obvious way that even a moron can understand kind of dramatically. Short of that, this nation is addicted to corruption.
TL;DR
With prejudice, so the DOJ can’t use this as a stick to keep him in line.

Former acting U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon, who resigned in February rather than follow through with an order to dismiss the case, told Attorney General Pam Bondi in a letter that at Adams’ lawyers at a meeting with her and top DOJ official Emil Bove “urged what amounted to a quid pro quo” in which the mayor would support Trump immigration enforcement efforts in exchange for dismissal of the case.
New York, New York. You got some work to do.
And this fucker is one of the people who have to sign off on a billionaire’s plan to destroy my performance home and replace it with a shittier Atlantic City
Fuck Eric Adams
You know they had to wait until today to announce this, had this come out yesterday, everyone would have assumed it was an April Fools joke with how absurd it it.
Luigi Mangione did nothing wrong and we need more people like him. Hopefully, the people of NYC aren’t so stupid as to reelect a traitor/criminal like Adams again. If they do, they deserve to reap exactly what he sows.
Didn’t they elect Rudy Giuliani at some point
Im beyond furious.
Ive been waking up all week earlier than my work alarms because of all the bullshit going on in our country. There is no justice on this fucking planet.
There is justice. Many just don’t want to administer it themselves, which is understandable.
So what are the democrats doing to remove this corrupt sleaze from their ranks? lol jk.
Hochul can remove him but she is as useful as a wet tissue
