A transgender suspect pleaded guilty to killing a postal worker in a Harlem deli, but the victim’s family says justice wasn’t served. Manhattan’s soft-on-crime DA gave the killer a sweetheart deal instead of holding her fully accountable for this brutal murder.
Ray Hodge died protecting his place in line at a sandwich counter. The attacker cut in front of him, then stabbed him when he stood his ground. This wasn’t self-defense—it was cold-blooded violence against a hardworking man just trying to buy lunch.
Prosecutors originally charged the killer with murder, but woke activists pushed for lighter treatment. The district attorney folded like a cheap suit, offering a weak manslaughter plea deal. Fifteen years in prison isn’t enough for stealing a father from his kids and a hero from our community.
The victim’s mother blasted the DA’s office for putting criminals’ feelings above public safety. “She’ll kill again,” the grieving parent warned. Liberal policies let dangerous people walk our streets while law-abiding citizens pay the price.
Witnesses say the killer threatened Hodge with a knife after he asked her to wait her turn. But in today’s upside-down world, common decency gets you killed while lawbreakers get therapy and reduced sentences. This is what happens when we stop respecting law and order.
The courtroom erupted when the killer’s lawyer claimed she felt “unsafe.” Since when do Americans get to murder anyone who upsets them? This toxic ideology of victimhood is destroying our cities and endangering honest workers.
Hodge’s coworkers remember him as a dedicated mail carrier who loved his job. His death exposes the human cost of radical social experiments that coddle criminals. While bureaucrats play politics, real people are dying in the streets.
This tragedy proves we need leaders who back the police, support victims, and throw the book at violent offenders. Until we restore common sense to our justice system, more innocent lives will be lost to this madness.
