New York let a crazy career criminal roam the streets and now three people are dead

Ramon Rivera, despite glaring mental-health issues and at least eight arrests in New York , got sprung early from Rikers this year after doing time for multiple burglaries and assaults.

The very day of his release, Rivera stole a $ 1,500 bowl from a fancy home goods store downtown; Manhattan prosecutors wanted bail, but a judge let him out on non-monetary conditions.

New York needs full-scale change to rebuild public safety.
