Zohran’s radical transition group: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani picks radicals for a lot of spots on his transition group.
Is anybody truly shocked Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani appointed Mysonne Linen, a convicted robber, to advise him on legal justice (“Crime & government,” Dec. 9)?
Surely you’ll be able to’t be shocked when he lately gave Zakiyah Shaakir-Ansari, a public supporter of late cop-murderer Joanne Chesimard, the duty of advising him on training?
In a regular society, these positions could be given to candidates with confirmed expertise and common sense. To Mamdani’s discredit, he did promise this and by all accounts is nicely on the best way to maintaining mentioned guarantees.

Why will we need Rikers Island? It ought to be closed instantly and the rapists, killers and robbers who’re at the moment incarcerated there ought to be despatched to City Hall to advise the incoming mayor.

I assumed Mamdani was completely insane to nominate Linen as a “criminal justice system” adviser given his legal historical past.
However, upon reflection, maybe Mamdani subscribes to the proverb, “Set a thief to catch a thief.” If so, Linen actually has the credentials from that perspective.

Instead of giving kids an training to help them grow within our society, Mamdani seeks to reshape their considering and switch them into activists (“Radical school advisor outrage,” Dec. 7).
Having training coverage guided by people like Shaakir-Ansari, who’ve no place educating our youngsters, places kids’s futures at stake.

In Mamdani’s New York City, legal justice will imply making criminals joyful by not placing them in jail.
Armed theft will no longer be a felony. It isn’t like anybody ever obtained killed or injured in an armed theft. Oh wait, they’ve!
The unhappy half is that when Mamdani’s voters begin changing into crime victims in massive numbers, they nonetheless received’t join the dots.

Linen being appointed to advise Mamdani on the criminal-justice system is an instance of precisely what I, and 1000’s of others, have mentioned will occur since Mandami received the Democratic main.
I’ve seen Mamdani and Mayor Adams describe New York City as a “sanctuary city.” While my spouse and I lately left the town for medical causes, we nonetheless take into account ourselves New Yorkers, and neither of us recall voting for that title after we lived there.
Now we have now criminals in search of to have a hand in governing.

Only The Post correctly covers the approaching tragedy coming with the subsequent mayor and his handpicked administration.
A considerate mayor should choose skilled people to go his committees, which Mamdani has not completed. The coming penalties can be irreversible. The crime, financial catastrophe, antisemitism and runaway progressiveness will take a decade to undue. I weep for the long run of NYC.

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t care in regards to the security of New Yorkers and is thumbing his nostril at law and order together with his transition group. He’s a radical socialist and terrorist supporter who hates law enforcement and helps criminals.

You don’t must look a lot additional than Linen to see what Mamdani’s administration will appear like. Many will most definitely be social activists from the communities who obtained him elected.
Expect to see nothing much less than a radical agenda filled with insurance policies of defiance.
