It would make more sense in a red state with less gun control. NYC gun control is one of the most restricted in America. So under no cash bail, criminals can keep committing crimes while normal citizens have little means to defend themselves or others in trouble. I'm sure they deliberately did this specifically in NYC because it's doubtful that they'll ease up on the gun control.

Cash bail is a fucking extortion. They take away the power of people to use force to defend themselves and make themselves rich at the same time.

In theory I agree, but NYC got rid of cash bail this year and you can see what's happened there.
