A Man Fell Off a Building in Our Community…No One Spoke About It, But People Should
When someone dies, Bay Ridge – TALK ABOUT IT!
It doesn’t matter how the person died, their life had meaning – talk about them.
Not one politician mentioned what happened.
Tonight, Andrew Gounardes mentioned the suicide, so he could use it for his narrative with his political friends on Twitter. It’s very insensitive because he never mentioned the man or offer condolences to his family.
Senator Gounardes left a lot out of the story. The Justice System failed this man from our community at many levels over several months!
How did so many departments come in contact with him and JUST RELEASE HIM?
Let’s go back a few months when the problems started. People called out for help and nothing was being done. The situation continued to get worse. Why didn’t Senator Gounardes call for the man to receive help then?
The man came in contact with hospitals, the police and jail over several months. If he was still in jail, he would have been receiving help.
This isn’t the first time that a man who needed help, was arrested, released and then died soon agter. In 2020, Marc Lamparello, a college professor went to St. Patrick’s Cathedral with gas tanks. He was arrested and released due to Covid. Days later, he committed suicide from the Verrazano Bridge. (Story here and here)
There’s three years between the man from our community and Lamparello. Senator Gounardes has been in office since Lamparello’s deaths and Gounardes made no changes to help men.
The acts of someone when they are sick are not meant to be left unsaid. This person mattered to people and they loved him.
Hugs,
