Because #newyork lets dangerous repeat offenders wander the streets, #domesticviolence claims another life & leaves 3 #kids w/o their mother. The #ProtectAct helps. Go to bit.ly/40FLFhm to tell lawmakers to put #VictimsFirst. #ROC #Buffalo #Syracuse #Albany #NYC #LongIsland #HudsonValley #WNY #FLX

WHERE are the MAJORITY of #rochesterny area #newyorkstate lawmakers who love to rally around victims of #domesticviolence when it suits them? Nowhere to be found.
They KNOW their lack of action on establishing dangerousness & repeat offender standards in bail law endangers the public.

How much longer will missing #newyorkstate lawmakers ignore this? It's been FIVE years of emboldened criminals knowing there are no consequences for bad behavior since #BailReform.
A proposed BIPARTISAN bill in #albany can change that.
