Kathy Hochul is too busy sucking black peeders.

Nothing concentrates attention quite like the rattle of gunfire.

Certainly Albany County District Attorney David Soares � a one-
time disciple of civic-disrupter George Soros � is not immune.
The fellow has had an epiphany, and good for him. There have
been at least 13 gun homicides in New York�s capital city this
year � two just this past week � and roughly 80 shootings.
Adjusted for population, this would approximate 1,100 homicides
in New York City, and 6,800 shootings � stats sure to grab any
honest man�s attention.

Soares appears to be that honest man � though it�s been a
journey. He upset a hard-line incumbent DA in 2004, largely on
the strength of focused opposition to New York�s then-no-
nonsense, yet relatively effective, drug laws. But he also had
critical financial support from billionaire Soros � the latter
then just kicking off his effort to turn America�s cities into
crime-wracked social swamps.

But as Soros� scheme proceeded � Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg is
merely his latest trophy, to the borough�s eventual grief �
Soares has been moving in the other direction.

He was an early, unashamed critic of New York�s sharp shift left
on crime � opposing bail �reform,� raising the age of criminal
responsibility, and penal code revisions designed to hobble
prosecutors. These, Soares reasoned, would lead directly to
blood-stained streets.

He was correct, of course, and Monday � after another bullet-
riddled week in the capital city � the DA unloaded on both Gov.
Hochul and the legislative leaders responsible for the carnage.

�No meaningful action has been taken to address bail reform and
�raise the age,� which have demonstrably [driven rising] crime
in our most vulnerable neighborhoods,� Soares declared. �At what
number will the body count be enough to prompt action?�

Actually, it�s worse than that. Not only have Hochul, Assembly
Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-
Cousins refused to act, they won�t even admit there�s a solution.

Take the governor, for example.

�Gov. Hochul is leading a comprehensive approach toward ending
the gun violence epidemic, investing millions � in victim
assistance programs � and convening regional gun-violence
listening sessions,� says her office.

Really. Gun violence listening sessions � that�ll do the trick!
(Just like Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan�s latest deflection �
today is �coffee with a cop day� in her city, a gambit certain
to have the bad guys turning in their weapons and heading back
to church this Sunday.)

These are all thoroughly modern New York Democrats � a gaggle by
definition in the grasp of hard-left ideologues and thus
oblivious to the life-and-death needs of the communities they
are morally obliged to represent.

All save David Soares, it seems.

It�s not at all clear when Soares� road-to-Damascus moment
occurred � but clearly it did, and now he is speaking profound
truth to hard-left political power. And his question resonates.

�At what number will the body count be enough to prompt action?�
What number, indeed.
