Shots fired

[Guest Guest]

The Shooter succeded now it's murder. The victim passed away at the hospital from his wound, he lost alot of blood and was fighting for his life last night while doctors were trying to save him. The suspect is being hunted for this shooting but now it's murder.

 

Not a problem, the elected ones and Police will protect the rest of us.

I like how peopel want to try and lay this all off on past administrations when in fact, as Ed points out, criem had been going down for three years in a row and four years out of five prior to Ryan taking office. The year he got in it skyrocketed and has continue to do so.

 

So Binghamton, do you like waking to this type of news?

 

A small town of 45,000, how often have we now had to read this type of headline?

 

The police chief just quit, that’s the second one in two years.

 

The police have been without a contract for two years. Matt Ryan’s left wing stooges, Tarik Abdelazim and Dara Silberstein, gave away the farm to Teamsters, Civil Servants and firefighters locking the last group into a four-year ,14% increase making them per capita the biggest, most expensive fire department per capita in the country but they refuse to pay the police.

 

Matt Ryan wants to dissolve the police force and incorporate it into the Broome County Sheriff’s department at the very time crime is skyrocketing. Ryan wants to cut police costs so he can continue to hire his useless cronies like Tarik Abdelazim, Luke Day, Merry Harris, Ana Shaelo-Johnson, Jim Dessauer et al. in useless positions like Blight Coordinators and Youth Directors and Community Relations Directors. Matt Ryan thinks kids making videos is going to curb violent crime.

 

Moral is down the tubes in police department.

 

Thanks to Matt Ryan and his fellow City Council puppets of Mary Clark’s Citizen Action/Working Families Party like Bob Weslar, Lea Webb, Sean Massey, Ed Collins and all the rest, violent crime had risen 42% in 18 months. Larceny had risen 22.5% in one year. Business taxes have risen almost 15% in two years. Meanwhile crime is going down elsewhere in Broome County It was going down in the City of Binghamton before Matt Ryan took office.

 

Violent crime in 2005 = 176 incidents.

Violent crime in 2006 = 206 incidents. (17% increase from 2005)

Violent crime in half of 2007 - 125 incidents. (21.3% increase from first half of 2006, projected total 249)

Keep in mind violent crime in the rest of Broome County went down 5% in the same time period

 

Binghamton is now way over the national crime average go see:

City-data.com crime index (higher means more crime, U.S. average = 323.2)

2003 - 302.9

2004 - 299.9

2005 - 309.7

2006 - 353.4

 

Keep voting Mary Clark’s Citizen Action/Working Families Party candidates into office. Her employee Lea Webb accompanied her buddy Davone Nealy (felon and a Ryan campaign worker) to Albany at Ryan's and Clark's suggestion to REPRESENT Binghamton at a Public Security conference with other Citizen Action flunkies at taxpayer expense.

 

How is that for good judgment?

 

Nealy, Webb and their Citizen Action buddies sat in on police surveillance discussions before Nealy was re-arrested and indicted on 93 felony counts last summer but Webb and her Citizen Action riff-raff still attend public security and neighborhood watch meetings. The fox rules the hen house.

 

Now we learn the Rescue Mission of Syracuse will be bringing in busloads of homeless to Binghamton to add to the party. Did you vote for that?

 

Keep in mind your Mayor’s telling words after his arrest and conviction for failure to comply when he told police they had no authority to stop him, lead them on a high speed chase and then told the arresting officers to “F** off”. "I'd like to communicate my frame of mind to the DA before going to court."- Matt Ryan, Mirandized in his sworn testimony to Vestal police. Tell us what that frame of mind was and is, Matt.

 

If you keep voting for Mary Clark’s Citizen Action/Working Families Party (the irony of the name always amuses me given the non-family, no-working people that support it) candidates you can be assured of getting more crime and poverty, that is what she and her organization need to thrive.

 

A small town of 45,000 people, how many times a year do you want to wake to these headlines, Suspect hunted in city shooting: “Man wounded on East Side ?”

 

Here are more stories from this newspaper that it's editorial board and city politicians have ignored or tried to sweep under the old, dirty frayed carpet, the tattered fabric of this community:

Report: Property thefts rise in Binghamton

Violent crime holds steady By Brian Liberatore bliberatore@pressconnects.com Press & Sun-Bulletin BINGHAMTON — While levels of violent crime in the city have remained fairly steady, a spike in property theft between 2005 and 2006 marks an unwelcome shift in the city. "I have no explanation for it," Binghamton Police Chief Steven Tronovitch said. "It's not an outrageous increase; it's just "significant" (less than 10 months later Tronovitch resigned)

 

Wake up, Binghamton. Wake up to something different.
