It Deblasio Time!

Here is an interesting article about how former criminals are advising the new mayor Bill Deblasio.

Here is an except:

Forget Ray Kelly, Bill de Blasio is getting his policing advice from the real experts — hardened criminals.
A group of 50 ex-cons, junkies and chronic vagrants gathered at a Manhattan “Think Tank” Thursday to describe what they thought the NYPD should be doing to make their lives easier.
The felonious forum outlined a clear “get-soft-on-crime” vision.
“I like the idea of ending stop and frisk. That was the first thing that was totally there for me,” opined Mikell Green-Grand, a 49-year-old former jailbird who has convictions for grand larceny and identity theft.
Arthur Castillo, 38 — who has been convicted for possessing stolen property and assault — said he would be much obliged if the cops just left him alone to do his thing.
“Cops won’t leave us alone!” he said. “Newly released prisoners are watched by the police and a lot of us don’t feel we have an opportunity to readapt to normal life because we are treated as criminals even though we are free.”
The event, which was held in Morningside Heights, was hosted by an advisory group called Talking Transitions, run by liberal billionaire investment magnate George Soros.
The goal was to offer de Blasio tips on “policing, corrections, parole policies and more.”

You can't make this shit up.

Remember the early days on Barney Miller when they were waiting to see if Carter was going to approve the loan to keep the city functioning?

Welcome back, kotter. So to speak.

From Rudy's NYC to this in just a few years.

Things fall apart, the center cannot hold, mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.

Hey, De Blasio is going to his base.

Geez, Troop. Wanna do another guest post at Lem's?

Cody Jarrett said...

Trooper should just annex Lem's in some sort of coup d'blog.

He has in everything but name anyway.

Cody Jarrett said...

And it's better for it. Mr Haz (pretty sure that originated from the mind of Trooper) has added a lot to the Litter Box.

And the best comments come when Trooper gets involved with the discussion.

chickelit said...

I offer, because I really don't like putting political things up. Troop has an eye for getting hits.

chickelit said...

He only has 10 minutes to decide though because I have to split.

Cody Jarrett said...

And I didn't mean to ignore you, Chicken. Although you've been a little busy lately it seems.

But I did like the two Patsy Cline vids. I'd never paid enough attention to know she did a do-woppish version.

Just typing do-woppish makes me feel racist.

Trooper York said...

Do it chickie.

I think it will be fun.

The Dude said...

You live in Hell, Troop.

Cody Jarrett said...

We all do. Some of us are just are just in a circle a little further from the center.

But NYC is a glimpse at the future of America.

Crystal Gail Mangum was found guilty of murder and sentenced to from 170 to 216 months in prison.

She is Crack's soul mate.

CJ - some of us are allowed to defend ourselves, and that makes a little bit of difference, right up until you run out of ammo.

Met an old guy in the store today with a hell of a walking stick. Ash branch, hand carved.

Guy has 11 cracked verts--so that's about the only thing he's got left he can do.

Said he'd made one for a friend of his who owns a couple of bars in South Boston. Apparently it works really well as a peacekeeping device.

Maybe this will get you off your fat, lazy, ass and move out of that hellhole you homeboy!!

Crystal's pretty much ignored by the Left.

They won't rest till they have Zimmerman's scalp, tho'.

blake said...

By the way, I do not see how Stop & Frisk passes Constitutional muster.

Cody Jarrett said...

me either, blake, honestly.
