Hey, Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes? You Need to Go. Here Are 8 Reasons Why.
2) Brooklyn Is Not a Bad Place to Be a Pedophile, As Long As You Belong to an Important Voting Block
After the widespread sexual abuse that has been running rampant in Brooklyn’s ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities came to light this past spring, Hynes showed exactly where his sympathies lie. Not with the children who were victimized, but with the perpetrators of both the crimes and the cover-ups. You see, kids can’t vote. And Hynes has depended on Brooklyn’s large population of ultra-Orthodox Jews to keep him in office. So, rather than follow the protocol that he had set of revealing the names of sexual offenders, Hynes kept these particular names secret. The New York Times helpfully pointed out that “this policy of shielding defendants’ names because of their religious status is not followed by the other four district attorneys in New York City, and has rarely, if ever, been adopted by prosecutors around the country.”
