I really can\u2019t fathom why he\u2019s getting a deal. Me, personally, I wanted to go to trial, I wanted to see full justice,&#8221;<\/p>\n<footer>Victim Joseph Borgen<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Joseph Borgen, the victim of a Jewish <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/man-in-nyc-arrested-for-a-string-of-attacks-on-women\/\" title=\"Man in NYC arrested for a string of attacks on women\">hate crime<\/a> attack, spoke out against Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg for granting a plea deal to his attacker. During the sentencing of Waseem Awawdeh, who assaulted Borgen during a clash between supporters of Israel and Palestinians, Borgen expressed his disappointment with the lenient sentence.<\/p>\n<p>Bragg&#8217;s office offered Awawdeh a plea deal of 18 months in prison in exchange for admitting guilt to attempted assault in the second degree as a hate crime and criminal possession of a weapon. Borgen argued that the sentence is not enough and sends the wrong message to victims of hate crimes.<\/p>\n<h3>Lenient Sentencing Amid Rising Crime in New York City<\/h3>\n<p>Bragg&#8217;s lenient sentence comes as New York City continues to struggle with crime. The city instituted bail reform that is keeping criminals out of prison and reoffending. A handful of thieves who continue to be released are committing one-third of retail crime. The mother of a teenage girl whom a homeless woman pushed onto the tracks in a New York City subway station recently demanded city leadership &#8220;do something&#8221; about crime in the city.<\/p>\n<p>Violent crime is up in the subway compared with 2020, with 132 felony assaults in the first quarter of 2023. Last year, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ted-cruz-delivers-dagger-to-left-over-their-efforts-to-politicize-acts-of-violence\/\" title=\"Ted Cruz Delivers Dagger To Left Over Their \u2018Efforts To Politicize Acts Of Violence\u2019\">black nationalist gunned<\/a> down 13 people in a Brooklyn subway station.<\/p>\n<h3>Bragg&#8217;s Controversial Arrest of Former President Donald Trump<\/h3>\n<p>Bragg has been the center of scrutiny after his arrest of former president Donald Trump. He was charged with 34 felony counts of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jewish-hate-crime-victim-slams-manhattan-das-plea-deal-for-attacker-who-said-hed-do-it-again\/\" title=\"Jewish victim criticizes Manhattan DA's plea deal for attacker who threatened to repeat the crime.\">falsifying business records surrounding payments<\/a> to former lawyer Michael Cohen, who allegedly then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/donald-trump-arrest-seven-takeaways-from-the-bragg-indictment\/\" title=\"Donald Trump arrest: Seven takeaways from the Bragg indictment\">made hush money payments<\/a> to porn star Stormy Daniels. Bragg in late April moved to bar Trump from reviewing documents in his case without the supervision of lawyers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No one should ever feel unsafe because of their religion<\/li>\n<li>We do not tolerate the antisemitic hate displayed by the defendant in this case<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Despite Bragg&#8217;s statement, Borgen argued that the sentence is not enough and sends the wrong message to victims of hate crimes. The plea comes despite the attacker&#8217;s comments following his arrest in 2021. &#8220;If I could do it again, I would do it again,&#8221; Awawdeh allegedly told jail personnel. &#8220;I have no problem doing it again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time for justice to be served and for victims of hate crimes to feel safe in their communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>justice served,&#8221; said the victim of a Jewish hate crime attack, criticizing Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg for offering a plea deal to his assailant.
