Gary Carrea was arrested Two weeks before the George Carroll Murder for gun charges and robbery. Gun found on him and arrested and the judge let Carrea go on his own recognizance. This judge should be at fault for this happening to George Carroll. Gary Carrea wouldn’t be in the streets and George Carroll would still be alive. My good friend gone and love by many. George was taken away from all of his loved ones and many many friends he had , Including the monastery he serviced at. We will be holding a Vigil lighting for George after the Court date.
So sorry for your loss, he seemed like a great guy.
My heart breaks for his missus.
New York is a liberal city with extreme progressive attitudes; especially, toward undesirables. The penal system reeks of crime, drugs & mismanagement, so, the judge, knowing this, opted to cast this miscreant back out to the masses. GOD, this is an old story repeated ad nauseam.
Pretty much.
Conceal carry would fix a bunch of this.
