Investigators found that Bronx anti-gun violence activist Michael Rodriguez was hiding “in plain sight” when they seized illegal guns and drugs from his Yonkers apartment.

Orange County New York law enforcement officials announced the arrests of 15 people for an alleged interstate drug trafficking conspiracy on Tuesday. Said to be the main supplier of the drug network was 48-year-old Michael Rodriguez — a Yonkers resident and the director of the nonprofit Good Shepherd Services’ program Bronx Rises Against Gun Violence, known as B.R.A.G.

The Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler said that Rodriguez could now face 12.5-25 years on conspiracy charges, and up to 24 years for cocaine possession. He was booked at Orange County Jail without bail last Thursday, where he remains.

This is where your tax dollars go. To promote crime and corruption as the law-abiding citizens are taxed and persecuted to fund that same corruption.

How ‘bout J6ing his hypocritical, insurrectionist ass for trampling America’s Bill of Rights. Particularly, the SECOND AMENDMENT.

His race wasn’t mentioned but then I saw a picture of him without it being “lightened up”. Surprise, surprise, surprise...
