At the same time, this is damn unusual. Is it just a case of an over-zealous redundant and disgruntled corrections officer enforcing dated security? And who were the others filming there? The Crew from "The Walking Dead?"
There's a simple answer, but with Mad Cuomo "runnin' things" and with his fur up, this is the kind of controlling, or "monitoring" behavior that rubs the wrong way really, really badly.
The reporter/newsreader is clearly a nicer guy than me. Let's just say the corrections officer would have needed to back things up in a real hurry, citing statutes, and not just "Albany."
Are there suddenly no longer any critical needs for prison space in New York? Somehow, I doubt it.
Does anyone have any idea what the real story is, other than sarcastic speculation?
The most obvious answer, with "private security" suddenly in place, is detention of illegals.
My only “speculation” is .. they might be planning to house the GITMO people there .. since the left has always wanted these killers to be on US soil. And .. Obama has always wanted GITMO closed.
And .. we have the illustrious Senator Schumer who would most likely be the person who Obama would use to get that done.
And .. I’m a native New Yorker .. and I’m really disgusted with the tactics and antics of Schumer.
