ReplyDeleteBREAKING: Fourth State Legislator Has Criminal Background

[Excerpts] ...Recently, a number of Rhode Island’s Legislature has experienced run-ins with the law, with one instance revealing a lengthy history of criminal activity for Representative Dan Gordon, a Republican. As Gordon continues to spend much of his time in the news, the same cannot be said for Representative John Carnevale, a Democrat with his fair share of criminal history... John Carnevale, a former Police Sergeant who now represents District 13 Providence / Johnston, was arrested in 2004 by the North Kingstown Police for allegedly assaulting his ex-wife. It marked the third time in five years that he had been arrested, and the third time the charges were either dismissed or he was found not guilty. None were a problem, or exposed, as Carnevale ran unopposed for the House of Representatives in 2008.... With overwhelming examples of our elected officials having their fair share of bouts with the law, it’s time to develop a plan that addresses these critical issues. The time has more than arrived where we must do everything possible to move Rhode Island away from its resounding reputation as a state full of corrupt, criminal politicians. The first step could very well be to ensure that all politicians, Democrats and Republicans alike, are held to the same standards if they insist on finding themselves at the center of criminal activity.

This monster assaulted me while he was in uniform in Providence about 10 years ago. He and another police officer assaulted and arrested me as I tried to go home to the boat I as living on at a certain marina in Providence. They told me to "go home!" and I said, "I am!" and as I tried to go to the docks, they assaulted me, leading to my arrest for "disorderly conduct". When I saw the police report, this monster's name was mysteriously absent, though he WAS the ringleader.
ReplyDeleteI hope he goes to jail. I had a tough fight to clear my name, which I did, but the cops got away free and clear.
He 's a complete embarresment to Police Work. he comes from a Political family,got a disability pension because of his connections. I watched him on Capitol TV during the pension hearings. He said he goes on hunting trips quite often. He can tromp thru the woods carrying a gun, but can't be a Policeman? Nobody gets that many complaints of violence dismissed without political connections. That goodness he hasn't killed anyone YET.
ReplyDeleteUnlike the other two haters on the page I feel that you two obviously don't understand that sometimes crazy situations come about....In a divorced family Drama is somewhat unavoidable on the part of both of the parents especially when there are children involved....I feel there is more behind the scenes than you know...People can say whatever they want to whom ever they want....Doesn't make these accusations true...And if someone is taken to court once it only make it easier to falsely accuse the same person a second/ third time
