Mamdani and Hochuls perverted priorities over shot illegal immigrant gangbanger

Mayor Zohran Mandani’s thundering defense of an alleged illegal-immigrant gangbanger shines a spotlight, yet again, on his grossly screwed up priorities.Ditto for Gov.Kathy Hochul and all the other grandstanding New York pols who huffed and puffed after a federal officer shot Oscar Belgal as he tried to run him over with his car.“Tonight, millions of our neighbors are wondering whether they will be safe on our streets,” roared the mayor.What do they fear? In Mamdani view, it’s ICE.

That’s right: Illegal-immigrant thugs are of no concern.Indeed, Hizzoner actually referred to Belgal as a fellow “New Yorker.”Sorry, Mr.

Mayor: Average New Yorkers, who care about their safety, would surely beg to differ.On the other hand, Mamdani’s anti-ICE theatrics let him change the subject from the disastrous way he snubbed Jews as they marked the third anniversary of the Oct.7 massacre.Hochul was just as bad: “New Yorkers are outraged tonight,” she railed.If New Yorkers are outraged, it’s because they’re learning that a potentially violent thug who’d had run-ins with police was free to roam the streets, thanks to her.Here are the cold, hard facts: Oscar Belgal is an illegal immigrant and an alleged Trinitarios gangbanger who, police say, was previously charged with grand larceny, theft, robbery and being armed with a deadly weapon.He’s serving five years’ probation for felony grand larceny.The feds say he weaponized his car to run down ICE agents trying to take him into custody.Belgal, they add, aimed his vehicle at federal officers — never mind that his own 5-year-old toddler was strapped in the car with him.
