Newark police chief advises citizens to "hug a thug"
By Jim Kouri
To create “racial reconciliation,” the city that protected an illegal immigrant child rapist who massacred three youths is offering its most violent criminals therapy, education and jobs in lieu of prison, according to a report on Friday by a non-partisan, public interest group that monitors political corruption.
Known as "hug-a-thug," the goal is to rehab vicious gangbangers with tender loving care rather than the harsh punishment that they probably deserve. The program has failed miserably in two cities -- Stockton, California and Cincinnati -- yet officials in Newark will launch it during March, according to Judicial Watch.
"Newark Police Director Garry McCarthy claims it’s the next step in the “evolution of policing” because its “proactive” instead of 'reactive,' whatever that means, according to Judicial Watch's analysis of a news story on NJ.com.
Director McCarthy also claims it will establish much-needed “racial reconciliation” in New Jersey’s largest city. The mayor asserts that the initiative is a “powerful new policing approach” that will fight crime.
"Currently, we are locking up hundreds and hundreds of people who are involved in gangs," Newark Mayor Cory Booker said. "Young men are going in and out of prisons and we, as a community, are not doing nearly enough to break this cycle of recidivism, which is consuming the lives of too many who are caught up in this dangerous lifestyle -- and doing horrible collateral damage to Newark.”
Here is how the new program will work; authorities will invite street gangs and drug dealers to meetings with community leaders and law enforcement officials who will “implore” them to stop violent acts in exchange for job offers and “other assistance.” Those who don’t agree will receive a stern warning that their group will be dismantled “by any means necessary.”
A sanctuary for illegal immigrants, Newark made worldwide headlines a few years ago for shielding an illegal immigrant gang-banger who murdered, execution-style, three college-bound students in a schoolyard.
A fourth student survived but was seriously wounded by the gunman. The assailant, a Peruvian national named Jose Carranza, had a lengthy record when he committed the gruesome crimes but the city’s sanctuary policies protected him from deportation.
