    well punk, better hope they put you in protective custody on rikers. what a lowlife. time to bring back the implements of the inquisition for punks like you. prison should be a 6 ft in diameter cell, no computer/phone/tv/free education. note to aclu – don’t whine about his rights, there’s another kind of 99% in town, and we’re not going to take this punk and his fellow perps garbage anymore. justice for the victims only! nice work nypd!
