Bob Capano Shouldn’t Run for a Bay Ridge City Council Seat Because He Isn’t Current with Bay Ridge Issues
Beautiful bridge…..but the views on the two sides of the bridge are very different.
Today everyone in Bay Ridge was talking about the Muslim Police officer and son who were harassed in #Bay Ridge last night. Ridgites are upset because no one wants a mother and a teen being bothered or threatened by anyone, especially someone who is angry enough to approach a teen because he is Muslim.
Staten Island resident, Bob Capano wants to run and represent Bay Ridge. Yet,he didn’t mention the Muslim NYPD officer and her son today. He’s stuck on an old topic about sanctuary cities (a topic that some people in Bay Ridge were talking about in October). Capano wants to use people’s dislike towards the Mayor to get some votes because he doesn’t know what is going on in Bay Ridge. See his twitter feed today has old news because he doesn’t know Bay Ridge anymore:
Capano, a member Republican County Committee for Staten Island needs to stay in SI and run to represent the people he knows. No political party in Bay Ridge should be supporting a candidate who doesn’t care about the NYPD and the safety of teens and women in our community. The resident who put his hands on a teenager here doesn’t know this community and any politician who didn’t speak out about it is asleep or a moron.
Whereas, Councilman Vinnie Gentile condemned the hate:
Bay Ridge Community Activist, Justin Brannan always keeps us in the loop and had good news about an arrest being made!
Senator Marty Golden didn’t post anything about the incident. His staff posted sideways messages on Marty’s Twitter feed (get them some classes Marty).
Even Senator Kristen Gillibrand condemned the hate. So where were Abbate and the other candidates mentioned for NYC Council? They must be sleeping because they didn’t say anything online about the incident. Even Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis heard the news in Staten Island and posted about it later this afternoon.
