A town of 6,700 people has a mayor, deputy mayor, city manager and deputy city manager? I think I’m seeing a bit of the problem here.

It looks like a union hierarchy.

Since I didn’t see the party affiliation in Bold Blinking 128 point font in the first sentence, Is it safe to assume its (D)?

It did not mention their political affiliation, so I can not figure out what it is.

Jenkins, who shook his head as the indictment was read, called it “definitely racial,” as he was led out of the courtroom to jail.

“We need a federal investigation. It’s a sad day in Monticello,” he said. …
He wants Obama and Holder to come rescue him?

I would say that he is both a Democrat and Coloured.

“I would say that he is both a Democrat and Coloured.” Well, if he is a coloured, then all should be forgiven because he is disadvantaged and doesn’t have the capacity to distinguish right for wrong. It is very unfair

Funny how the media one-sidedly turns a “Hulk Smash” story into “gentle giant”.

Faster than a speeding bullet the good mayor played the race card.

This is one of those stories written in such as way where it is totally obvious the political affiliation and race of the Mayor/Perp because any mention of party/race is so carefully avoided.

"The mayor of the New York town of Monticello made a racist and curse-filled rant after being arrested for DWI…and it was all caught on tape. Mayor Gordon Jenkins was arrested on Nov. 16 for DWI and his racist rant was later caught by surveillance cameras at the Monticello police station.

“Don’t call me mayor. Call me ni**er because that’s what I am when I’m here in handcuffs,” said Jenkins. “They say you are the Klan. I believe it now. I believe all the f*cking ni**ers and what they be talking about, about you.” Jenkins later then tells one of the officers that “you don’t have control…because these motherf*cking crackers work for you.”

Jenkins was arrested after appearing drunk at the scene of a car accident. CBS New York repors that he received the DWI charge after refusing a Breathalyzer and was also charged with obstructing justice and criminal mischief. Although he has since pleaded not guilty to the charges, his license has been suspended."

This criminal degenerate will us the same excuse as the “professor” in California who assaulted a pro-life student...trauma from the US’s slave history made him do it. Sheesh! Enough already! Either lock-up these fools or give them a one-way ticket to Liberia.

Thanks beaversmom.
Embattled Monticello Mayor Gordon Jenkins and village Code Enforcement Officer James Snowden were arrested Thursday and charged with several felonies and misdemeanors in connection with the demolition of the old village justice court. The charges include third-degree bribe receiving, second-degree criminal mischief, fifth-degree conspiracy and endangering public health, safety and the environment. Jenkins was also charged with third-degree intimidating a witness. That charge is related to his November 2013 arrest on charges of drunken driving and resisting arrest. According to the indictment by a Sullivan County grand jury, Jenkins called a witness a "snitch" and told him to "watch his back."

Jenkins, who shook his head as the indictment was read, called it "definitely racial," as he was led out of the courtroom to jail. "We need a federal investigation. It's a sad day in Monticello," he said. Snowden, who appeared shocked and angered by the charges, said in court with apparent sarcasm, "There's not a murder charge in there, your honor?"
