It is staggering to me and to many others how mired Connecticut participates in various forms of crime of all types, where little to nothing is ever done to cause the perpetrators to account. Moreover, several types of activity such as gambling, weed, and abusive practices with children in educational settings have been made “legal”, regardless of their deleterious effects on the citizenry. Sophisticated patterns of self-dealing, larceny, and financial fraud from high-ranking government officials are as much of a hallmark of the Great Nutmeg State as New Haven Pizza.
But as the crimes mount and the nationwide shock grows at yet another Connecticut crime, scam, or embarrassment, one thing is for sure:
Crime is simply a way of life in Connecticut, and the biggest criminal, is the state government.
Let’s start with something we are all familiar with. Death. Death is an everyday occurrence in the state of Connecticut. Some deaths are caused by criminals and crime. One such example, which could have been avoided was the senseless death of off-duty Bridgeport Police Officer Cooper Whiteside, who was only 38, years old and passenger Brittany Islami, only 34 years old. Ms. Islami had three children who now have no mother. They were killed by a Melissa Ramirez, who allegedly had a had a blood alcohol content almost twice the legal limit.
What was not reported in this state-run media article, (nor, as of the time of this writing was even mentioned by ANY candidate or elected official), was that Ramirez, was an illegal alien. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed in a statement to The Connecticut Centinal that Ramirez was in the country illegally. This person who was here illegally did not have a Connecticut driver’s license according to the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles, and a substance abuse issue. It is interesting to note that there was little mention in Connecticut’s mainstream state-run media as to Ramirez being in our country illegally, because in Connecticut crime is a way of life, and Connecticut is the paterfamilias Criminal.
