How many more innocent kids must die before the Legislature gets serious about reversing New York’s soaring crime? Kade Lewin’s pointless death follows the 3-year-old girl hit by gunfire last month outside a Brownsville day-care center, the 7-year-old grazed by a bullet in Coney Island and the 11-month-old nicked by a stray bullet in The Bronx in January.
Yet the Democratic majorities in both chambers are seeing how little of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s already-insufficient criminal-justice fixes they’ll accept.

New York’s lawmakers face a simple choice: Give judges the discretion to order remand for offenders they deem dangerous, or let the streets fill with the blood of children.
They get no money nor political power by being outraged by black on black crime.
