'The Five' host Jeanine Pirro claims America is descending into 'total anarchy' as crime in NYC skyrockets

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: 'The Five' hosts shared their concerns over a viral video of a man brutally attacking a black woman at a subway station.

Host Jeanine Pirro commented on the attack saying that the country will see more violence and crime in the future.

She cited the current criminal laws, which are too lax and ineffective, as the reason for this state of the country.

Jeanine Pirro calls for bail laws to be changed

The weekday show discussed the video from a New York City subway station that recently went viral, as Pirro showed her dwindling hope in America's criminal laws.

The video was taken from inside a coach and showed a white man repeatedly hitting a black woman using a cane.

The attack went on for around 2 minutes, leaving the victim seriously injured.

"We should get used to this kind of thing," Judge Pirro commented on the disturbing video.

"This is like a normal day on the subway," she lamented.

Pirro went on to add, "The problem is, as she's getting beaten, there's no one there to stop it. And in the end, you see someone [who works for the subway system] kind of come into the picture."

The host pointed out that the assailant's criminal record was important to the context of this incident.

Pirro blamed the leniency of bail laws for serious crime in New York.

"He's got nine priors, trespassing, resisting arrest, assault, drugs, etc," Pirro said.

"This is never going to change! This is not going to change until we change the bail laws...It's creating a system where there's total anarchy and chaos and there is no accountability," she added.

Judge Jeanine Pirro on Philadelphia's crime laws

The panel drew a comparison with the state of Philadelphia, where Police Chief Danielle Outlaw has just resigned from her post.

Crime in the city worsened under Outlaw's leadership, and homicides rose to even more alarming levels.

"This woman who was the police commissioner in Philadelphia, do you know what she is now?" she brought up on the panel,

"They are moving her to be the Deputy Chief Security Officer over airports, bridges, tunnels, transportation, infrastructure for port authority. That is very important right now and that is subpoena principle," Pirro said.

Pirro criticized the former Chief for not calling out prosecutors who are being blamed for not doing their job and affecting the state of crime in the city.

"She should have been yelling like a crazy woman that they weren't [doing their job]," she said.
