I want to thank you for taking the common sense stand against closing Rikers Island. The closing of Rikers Island, amoung other things, has flooded our streets with homeless from the Psyc Wards at Rikers into the streets. This crazy policy is choaking our city and has destroyed Kings Highway. The description of calling the incarciration of criminals in our jail system a form of Jim Crow is racist on the part of those that view it this way, and pure unadultrated bigotry.
Congrads for doing the right thing. Nobody is going to want these jails in the boroughs and the medical and psycology facilities at Riker will NEVER be duplicated.
This Mayor and his supporters HATE the working communities of Brooklyn, and this closure program is a large part of the war on families in the city of NY.

Being so tracked is for FARM ANIMALS and extermination camps, but incompatible with living as a free human being. -RI Safir 2013 _______________________________________________ Hangout mailing list Hangout-at-nylxs.com http://lists.mrbrklyn.com/mailman/listinfo/hangout
