The Issue: The release without bail of alleged subway cellist attacker Amira Hunter.

I am troubled by the decision to release of Amira Hunter on supervised release despite her violent criminal history (“The same ol’ string,” Mar. 1).

The assault charge, a second-degree felony, should have warranted careful consideration for bail under current law. And Hunter’s bench warrant for petit larceny and recent arrest on grand larceny charges underscore the potential danger posed by her release back into the community.

The decision to instead release her on her own recognizance sends a disconcerting message about the gravity with which our legal system treats violent offenses.

It is essential that we reevaluate the criteria for such releases to ensure that public safety remains the paramount consideration.

If I were Hunter, I’d be smiling too.

Judge Marva Brown, in her infinite wisdom, let her out with no bail — despite a long rap sheet, including assaulting her mother twice.

I guess we should be patient and wait until Hunter irreparably hurts or kills someone.

Based on the picture, this looks like a hate crime to me.

Since the cellist attacker will be released in New York again and again — ad nauseam — a different approach is needed. The federal government should file the charge. Maybe then will action be taken.

There is one surefire way to stop repeat offenders from finding new victims: If the judges releasing these criminals were held accountable for the crimes they go on to commit, then they would think twice about no bail.

Not surprisingly, Brown released local 23-year-old Hunter without bail after she allegedly bashed a subway musician in the head with a metal bottle.

She’s seems to be just another roving lunatic wreaking havoc on the unaware. Releasing her, instead of remanding her for mental evaluation, is just another example of a criminal-justice system that needs a major overhaul.

The Issue: Mayor Adams’ call for New York to abide by federal deportation guidelines of violent migrants.

I agree with The Post that New York has to dismantle its sanctuary laws, which prevent the deportation of violent illegal immigrants (“Adams’ Sanctuary-City Epiphany,” Editorial, Feb. 29).

Simply take a ride on the L train at rush hour, and you would swear you’re in Venezuela. Panhandlers, prostitutes, drug dealers and muggers all parade through the cars menacing innocent passengers.

Clearly, Mayor Adams has lost control of the city that elected him to restore order. But maybe Adams can issue executive orders to begin to clear away some of the migrant criminals attacking our citizens and cops.

Ron Spurga

Manhattan

The only reason Adams cares about how New York’s sanctuary city policies have harmed New Yorkers is that his “soft on crime” approach has completely backfired.

Everybody is sick of the headlines, of violent migrants attacking and murdering people. And with Laken Riley’s murder blamed on a migrant who’d left New York, the spotlight is now on Adams and his city’s catch-and-release policy.

We need to rethink our policies when it comes to illegals. But Democrats, like Adams, don’t care. They don’t mind violent crime as long as they get their new voter base.
