Playground Jail in Bed Stuy Sparking Outrage
The emergence of a jail-themed jungle gym at the Tompkins Houses in Bedford Stuyvesant has the community in an uproar.

The emergence of a jail-themed jungle gym at the Tompkins Houses in Bedford Stuyvesant has the community in an uproar. Black and Brown News, which ran this image earlier this week, did some homework and found that NYCHA was responsible for ordering it earlier this week. I don’t think they should put that there in a neighborhood where many Blacks and Latinos go to jail,” one resident of the public housing complex told BBN. “My son will ask me, Mommy, if I go in there, will I go to jail. As of yesterday, NYCHA had told BBN it was “looking into” the matter and there had been no response yet from the mayor’s office. Pretty mind-boggling and offensive, no?

OK, Libertarian Of The Day.
the thought of calling someone a sarah palin as some sort of insult is beyond laughable btw. i had no clue that it was against the law to live in nyc and not be a phoney baloney bleeding heart liberal :-/ but i am far from a republican. i just like to call out the slices of baloney when i see it, and i see lots of it all over the place.

Dave, I didn’t know you cooked!What wine should we get with that?
bxgrl – “rob knows about the projects. He can see them from his kitchen window.” Hilarious.
Lechacal – I am not making any argument, but I am suggesting that some of his posts remind me of Sarah Palin. Why? Maybe because some of his comments make me laugh because they are so inaccurate (see: “Palin interview with Katie Couric” and the similarities should be evident). Also he did win the Republican of the Day award, so how could I not think of a former governor who was a VP candidate.
If this is still not “meaningful or complete” enough for you, let me know and I will try to spell it out for you in a bit more detail.
Until then, back to fart jokes!!
rob- you did it today, you did it last week. You get all pissed off and call her a know-it-all. Yeah that sounds like you respect her opinion.
it’s cill my landlord. it’s better than you’re name…google it.
