Seattle Judge Releases Man Without Bail For Apparently Minor Offense of Threatening to Murder a Cop. Whereupon He Then Beats a Senior Citizen to Death With a Steel Pole.

They've finally decided to hold him on $2.5 million bail, now that he's committed first-degree unprovoked murder.

Just in time, huh? Well, I mean: Not for the innocent man whose brains he bashed in all over the sidewalk.

Shocking new video shows a senior citizen fatally beaten in broad daylight in Seattle by a suspect who reportedly had been released from jail just days before for allegedly threatening to kill a police officer.

Aaron Justin Fulk, 48, remains held at King County Jail on $2.5 million bond as of Monday.

He was initially arrested and charged with attempted first-degree murder and assault after allegedly bludgeoning another man -- 66-year-old Rodney Peterman -- with a large metal pole on Aug. 2.

An officer witnessed the murderous broad daylight beating happening just after 2 p.m. near 3rd Avenue and Pike Street. Seattle police said officers took the suspect into custody and began first aid on the victim. Seattle Fire medics took over treatment and rushed the senior citizen to Harborview Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries without ever regaining consciousness four days later.

The charge was then upgraded to first-degree murder, and Fulk pleaded not guilty on Thursday.

Fulk, who has prior assault convictions in Idaho, was released from Pierce County Jail -- located just about and hour's drive south of Seattle -- just eight days before the deadly unprovoked attack.

The Seattle Times reported that Fulk had been released on his own recognizance after being charged with felony harassment in July for allegedly threatening to kill a transit security officer in Tacoma, Washington. Pierce County prosecutors requested that he be held on $10,000 bail, but Judge Phillip Thornton released him without bail and ordered him not to commit any crimes, KOMO reported.

Well that did the trick.

In Manhattan, residents in Chelsea (one of the gay neighborhoods) beg police to do something about the crime and homeless situation, but the cops do nothing.

Manhattan's trendy Chelsea neighborhood has become a '24-hour drug and sex den' according to some of its residents, as vagrants deal and use drugs in sight of a nearby school.

Parents told Fox 5 that their children have become exposed to nudity, sex acts and drug use while business owners deal with constant break-ins. Some said they are begging city officials and the police department to do something.

The new criminal activity is centered on West 21st Street between 8th and 9th avenues by P.S. 011 William T. Harris.

Vivek Batra, a local co-op owner, said 'you can see people over here shooting up, smoking. I find pipes. I find needles in the streets and kids are playing right here.

'What's worse is it's not just at night, it's during the day.'

Even Ana Kasparian of the Young Turks -- who of course championed "decarceration" -- is now complaining of it.

This sex offender sucker-punched a man and put him into fractured-skull, brain-bleed coma from which he has still not emerged, and may never emerge.

And the judge set him free without bail.

Only after the public screamed about did Hochul pressure the Department of Corrections to re-arrest him for a parole violation they dug up and put him in jail.

Without the public outrage -- and without the videotape -- this vicious attack would have gone entirely unpunished.

A man released without bail after allegedly fracturing another man's skull in New York City has been taken back into custody, Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Friday.

Van Phu Bui, a 55-year-old convicted sex offender, was first arrested on Wednesday in connection with the unprovoked attack outside a Fordham Heights restaurant in the Bronx before 11 p.m. on Aug. 12. He was re-arrested on a parole violation on Friday.

Surveillance video shows a man approaching 52-year-old Jesus Cortes from behind and sucker punching him in the head. He says something to onlookers before apparently leaving the scene.

Cortes, a Mexican immigrant, suffered a fractured skull, a broken cheekbone and brain bleeding. He was knocked unconscious and eventually placed in a medically induced coma.

...

Bui, a Vietnamese immigrant, turned out to be on lifetime parole for sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl in 1994. He is a registered Level 3 sex offender, the highest classification on the registry.

But sure, let him free to roam the streets and randomly crush people's skulls.

Tucker Carlson wants to know why every Republican isn't running on crime 24/7.
