A Citizen Of Massachewshits

(In 2008, Dominic Cinelli told the Massachusetts Parole Board that he was “deeply sorry’’ and a “new and different’’ man.)
Dominic Cinelli sat before the Massachusetts Parole Board in November 2008 and insisted that he was no longer the heroin addict who shot a security guard during an armed robbery to feed his drug habit.
“I’m new and different,’’ he said in a soft voice. “But I realize that deep inside me there is still that ugliness, and I know that I have to deal with that and control that, and I’m doing a real good job of it.’’
Four months later, Cinelli was a free man. But the ugliness he described resurfaced Sunday when, according to police, he fatally shot a Woburn police officer during the robbery of a Kohl’s department store. Cinelli, 57, was killed during the shootout with the officer, John Maguire, a 60-year-old father of three who was nearing retirement.
Now the unanimous decision to free Cinelli is under intense scrutiny while police and victim advocates question how the Parole Board released a career criminal serving concurrent life sentences.

I’d say the 49% rate is probably closer to realistic and probably about 10% higher than actual. (40% wouldn’t surprise me)
I’m a former felon myself and I rehabed myself. (Decided I wasn’t interested in prison) However I was a drunk driver and not a murdering heroin addict.
Howie Carr has for years called the the Mass. Parole Board part of the “Hackorama,” a resting place for corrupt, incompetent liberal democrat party hacks.
A program that works; there's never been another murder committed by the graduates of this program.
A 0% recidivism rate.

If he wasn't in jail, he'd be working as an ACORN-type community activist next election:
A year before Willie Horton. Just think if Dukakis had learned his lesson from Cinelli.
One of the design requirements for a gallows ... 13 steps to the platform.
I’d heard that after age 40 most criminals had the fight taken out of them. I guess not in this case.
They get too old for prison, I guess.
We looked hard too at the screwball who carved his mother with a meat knife at dinner in front of his family; released to shoot a young couple over a tattoo or something in Washington.
We let some nerd out after popping her brother with a shotgun, then she went somewhere else and caped a few professors or aids, or whatnot.
Every state has a primary export.
Massachusetts exports homicidal maniacs. I have been here so long that these repeating scenarios are nothing more than comic relief for me.
The close look is just because this turd did not export his a$$, and took out one of the team. The Wouburn police will be pissed off for the week, then no one will remember.
Every last person pissed off by this latest outrage will summarily reelect those who allow these things to happen, unless a more repulsive candidate presents.
It has been going on for a long time here; it is all we know.
Cops hate this $hit, but all will be forgiven tomorrow. Then the never ending contract negotiations will continue with the pigs who kill their brothers and sisters.
“A 13 step rehab program?”
Yes I like that.
Cops hate this $hit, but all will be forgiven tomorrow. Then the never ending contract negotiations will continue with the pigs who kill their brothers and sisters..."
What you say is true, of course, but then we all see Morgan Freeman play his part again as the reconstructed con in the "Shawshank Redemption", and we suddenly realize, again, that inside every killer is a warm and fuzzy angel just waiting to get out... and armed again.
Parole Board chairman: They’ve got a name for people like you H.I. That name is called “recidivism.”
Parole Board member: Repeat offender!
Parole Board chairman: Not a pretty name, is it H.I.?
H.I.: No, sir. That’s one bonehead name, but that ain’t me any more.
Parole Board chairman: You’re not just telling us what we want to hear?
H.I.: No, sir, no way.
Parole Board member: ‘Cause we just want to hear the truth.
H.I.: Well, then I guess I am telling you what you want to hear.
Parole Board chairman: Boy, didn’t we just tell you not to do that?
H.I.: Yes, sir.
Parole Board chairman: Okay, then.
-Raising Arizona (1987)
One popped his wife with an AK five times and hijacked a plane from Beverly airport, shooting at the oil tanks over Boston Harbor in the 80’s.
He is free today, unless old age claimed him.
He used to buy me beer.
Another shot his girlfriend at a daycare in Amesbury, then himself. He left two orphaned daughters in his wake. We used to shoot together. No one thought he was anything other than a good, quiet guy.
Another close friend from Junior high is currently serving a few life sentences for stabbing the crap out of three people in a bar fight in Connecticut. I will let you know when he gets out, as he will likely come here.
As an afterthought, the first two killers I mentioned lived on the same street. Pilsbury Avenue, Danvers Massachusetts.
