The Issue: New York City’s justice system’s failure to keep repeat offender Rhamell Burke off the streets.
The miscreant Rhamell Burke ought to by no means have been on the road to allegedly homicide 76-year-old Ross Falzone. People like Burke ought to have been involuntarily dedicated ages in the past (“NYC failed shove vic,” Frank Conti, May 13).

Mayor Mamdani must do more for our homeless and mentally ailing. Rhamell Burke shouldn’t have been launched.
I’m additionally 76 and stroll with a cane. I fear about being assaulted and even killed like Ross Falzone, who did nothing improper to anybody.

I get very indignant once I see The Post give prominence to killers and hate-mongers. You printed a giant front-page colour photograph of a benignly smiling Rhamell Burke, who shoved a retired schoolteacher down a flight of stairs, killing him.
People like him are scum who needs to be hidden away in some darkish nook. Instead you help elevate them. You’re half of the issue, not the answer.

The tragic, but completely preventable, homicide of Ross Falzone by a grinning lunatic is optimistic proof that the “woke” illness that has contaminated New York’s political and criminal-justice systems kills harmless people.
How may an emotionally disturbed individual like Rhamell Burke be evaluated and launched by medical professionals in an hour? Shame on them and the woke hospital system that allows it to occur.

I learn the New York Post day by day, and it appears there’s not a single day once I don’t examine a violent crime dedicated by some disturbed particular person.
Democrats don’t remedy issues — they create them, and it’s costing New Yorkers taxpayer {dollars} in a large method. These crimes are the consequence of the gross negligence by New York politicians.
This violence won’t stop till elected officers are held accountable.

The Issue: The Administration for Children’s Services withholding data of reported youngster abuse.
The vile conduct of and tolerated stonewalling by the Administration for Children’s Services have to be stopped (“Deadly Child Abuse: Why Not Investigate?” Naomi Schaefer Riley, PostOpinion, May 11).
The story of 4-year-old Jahmeik Moldin’s homicide by hunger has by no means left me, and it’s appalling that it hasn’t damaged the guts of anybody with the facility to stop the madness of ACS’ racist directors.
There have to be somebody left on this authorities who has an iota of decency left of their hearts and has the facility to take away the lunatics operating the ACS nuthouse.
Keep up the stress, New York Post. No one else appears to offer a rattling about these youngsters.

ACS workers are between a rock and a arduous place relating to defending non-Caucasian youngsters. Removal from houses smacks of “systemic racism” in as we speak’s politically appropriate atmosphere. Then, when a tragedy occurs and a youngster is abused, not fed correctly and tragically dies, the household is to not blame; it’s ACS.
Why anybody of their proper thoughts would develop into an ACS employee or superviser is past me — and that is from somebody who was one for over 32 years.
