New York City’s incoming socialist mayor is already proving exactly why voters should be worried.
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has tapped a convicted armed robber to help shape the city’s public-safety and criminal-justice agenda, according to new reporting from Fox News.
Mamdani appointed Mysonne Linen, a 49-year-old rapper, activist, and former Def Jam signee who spent seven years in prison for two violent taxi-driver robberies, to serve on his City Hall transition team.
According to court records and reporting from Fox News, citing the New York Daily News, Linen was convicted in 1999 for two separate armed robberies of taxi drivers:
• In June 1997, Linen and accomplices robbed cab driver Joseph Exiri, smashing him in the head with a beer bottle during the attack.
• In March 1998, prosecutors said Linen held up another cabbie, Francisco Monsanto, at gunpoint, stealing cash and a ring before fleeing into the night. Both victims took the stand and identified Linen as one of their assailants. Read the rest at thegatewatpundit.com.
Mamdani needs to hire a lot of those killers let out of prison or prevented from going to prison by lefty judges. Maybe one of them could practice his trade on Mamdani.
