“Bay Ridge” Bob Capano’s Letter to CB-10 Shines Bright Light on Problem of Radicalism In Our Midst

Islamic Radical Linda Sarsour’s rabble-rousing antics resulting in her arrest at Gracie Mansion highlight a growing alliance between jihadi-oriented Arabs and American Black radicals fomenting riots and other anti-police violence across the country 

Letter to CB-10 also points up how far left the local Democrat-dominated planning board has swung

Even though Bob Capano’s E-mail announcement this morning is about the “Vast News Coverage...” of several of the interviews on his boss John Catsimatidis’ “Cats' Roundtable...” show on the radio, Capano deserves his own kudos for putting his own spotlight on a news story and problem that is closer to home for those of us living in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights.

Of course, if you’ve been reading this blog or the local newspapers, you’d know that Mr. Capano has been publicizing the nefarious exploits of Bay Ridge’s own Islamic radical, Linda Sarsour  —  this time in connection with her out of control attacks on the NYPD, which resulted in her recent arrest and which are part and parcel of her alliance with the domestic Black radicals and trouble-makers that have been fomenting riots across the country throughout 2014-2015.

LETTER TO COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD 10 CHAIRMAN

The most recent coverage of the Bob Capano-Linda Sarsour story appeared as a “Letter to the Editor” in the Courier Life’s “Brooklyn Daily” section, but it was really a “cc” of a portion of Bob Capano’s recent letter to the CB-10 Chairman Brian Kieran.

Capano thinks that it is necessary for the local board to reign-in Sarsour, who was recently arrested in an anti-cop demonstration at the Mayor’s residence – Gracie Mansion.  Sarsour has been increasingly vocal and active in her attacks on the NYPD.  Those attacks have run the gamut from her complaints about NYPD surveillance programs that were aimed at Islamic terrorists right here in Brooklyn, to her more recent rants on behalf of “Black Lives Matter” and the “Justice League of New York.”  Thanks to Bob Capano's efforts, everybody now knows that Linda Sarsour is a CB-10 member that was put there by the incumbent Democratic City Councilman, Vincent Gentile.

However, don’t expect very much to come of that.  CB-10 has slipped very far left lately – even though it is ostensibly being controlled by people identified as middle-of-the-road Dems, like Mr. Kieran, who also writes a Democratic-liberal column for the Home Reporter.

NOT A PEEP FROM GOLDEN OR HIS STAFF  —  NO LONGER ANY GOP INFLUENCE ON CB-10 

Long-gone are the days when people like Craig Eaton held sway over CB-10. Now, it’s as if local Republican electeds, like Marty Golden, and the people on their staffs, like Jerry Kassar and John Quaglione,  no longer have any interest whatsoever in the community-based board for Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights. Once upon a time, things had been completely different. When Golden still cared about such things, he made sure that his interests were heard on CB-10; and that was long after he’d moved-on from the NY City Council to the NY State Senate.

If nothing else, Bob Capano’s push-back on Sarsour’s activities by way of his direct appeal to the Community Planning Board Chairman puts at least one local Bay Ridge Republican on the record in favor of the NYPD in the face of the growing attacks against them.
