"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli
Judge's Son SkatesBy nitevision, Section Diaries
The grapevine is bubbling over about cops allegedly pulling over a judge's son and discovering dope in the car.
The story goes on to say that Albany cops gave a free pass to the son of Albany Judge Tom Keefe. The really amazing part is that this is the SECOND TIME the cops let the same kid off on similar charges. I guess the first "time out" didn't work Judge. If true, a well-connected white kid skates around drug charges, TWICE. Equal justice under the law? Don't forget this is Albany. Word is that the Times Union has the story but Brendan Lyons refuses to write it. Circle the wagons and protect the privileged? No amnesty program for low income minority residents has been announced yet by chief Jim Tuffey. We've heard all the promises by Tuffey but wonder if this is his first major achievement as chief. Is this self-proclaimed "Mr. Fixit" just adding a new coat of paint to a dilapidated system? Can't see how anything has changed - same game.
Will be taking bets on whether this makes it into the mainstream press. You saw it first on DIA.
