Criminal Justice And Human Rights Law Blog: Gone Grimm - The Daily Show - Video Clip | Comedy Central - This is an apt description of Staten Island where I grew up and where I spent the holidays until this past Monday. This is where a lot of police and firemen live. The North Shore where I grew up is becoming more diverse thanks to the immigration of more Mexicans and African Americans but the island is still 77% white. The prosecutor that failed to effectively prosecute the killer cop who murdered Eric Garner on the North Shore is now running for the Congressional seat vacated to due to the fact that Congressman Grimm who just won reelection with over 70% of the vote even though he had 21 felonies pending. He is now going to jail. This former home of Mafia chieftains keeps the spirit of corruption alive with it's police force, elected officials DA and the majority population who elect them.
