Treating gun-toting teen thugs with kid gloves puts the public’s safety at great risk
NYPD has had an aggressive ‘stop and frisk’ policy which has been severely criticized by civil rights groups. The judge in this case handled a vicious teen charged with attempted murder as a juvenile instead of as an adult for trial purposes. This bleeding-heart judge apparently saw this hoodlum as a victim of an oppressive ‘stop and frisk action.’
New York has the strictest gun control laws in the nation, restrictions Mayor Bloomberg is trying to get enacted for the rest of the country. But while law abiding citizens are prohibited from possessing handguns in NY, crooks do not seem to have any problem getting these firearms, and that includes 14-year-old gangsters. I suppose the judge in this case will have to get shot by one of these young thugs before those kid gloves will come off in his court.
EDITORIAL: ENOUGH WITH THE TSK-TSKING ON FRISKING

NEW YORK — In this city, thugs have powerful help getting away with crime.
A teen who was stopped and frisked by an alert Bronx cop while carrying a loaded gun in 2010 had his Family Court weapons possession rap tossed last week by the state Appellate Division, which ruled that the frisk was unnecessary and wrong. Ha!
The 14-year-old offender, Darryl Craig, soon got hold of another weapon and shot a man, twice, The Post's Larry Celona reported. He was moving in for the kill, cops say, when his victim's children screamed.
Craig was charged with attempted murder.
Then, another judge granted Craig youthful-offender status and sealed the case.
The intense opposition to stop-and-frisk puts us all at risk. And judges, fond of coddling violent offenders, won't see it.
This has to stop.
Our lives depend on it.
