Suzio to Governor – “Suspend “Early Release,” Convene Special Legislative Session Now!”


The following was released to the media by Len Suzio


Former State Senator Len Suzio, Connecticut's leading critic of the Early Release program, called upon Governor Malloy to immediately suspend the controversial Early Release program and convene a special session of the Legislature to repeal the law as it pertains to criminals guilty of violent crime or crimes related to sex and drug dealing.

“Today we witnessed court proceedings of a criminal (Arthur Hapgood) who had participated in the notorious "Early Release" program who is now charged with the murder of a one-year old infant in Bristol. Nearly 50,000 criminals have been let out of our prisons prematurely to terrorize our neighborhoods and families. We have seen murders, carjackings, sexual assaults and all sorts of crimes committed by criminals who have not reformed their lives and who have been let out of our prisons early because of the reckless and irresponsible ‘Early Release’ law conceived by Mike Lawlor and approved by the Legislature in 2012. The murder and mayhem must stop now”, said Suzio.

“We can’t wait for the Legislature to convene next year to reconsider this ill-conceived law. Every day new crimes are being committed by hardened criminals who have not been reformed by this tragically failed program. There is no time to waste. I call upon Governor Malloy to SUSPEND EARLY RELEASE NOW and convene a special session of the Legislature to address this fatally flawed law before another innocent citizen is murdered. Instead of coddling violent criminals it’s time for the governor to put the safety of our families first”, Suzio concluded.

Len Suzio is a former state senator from Meriden

Amen. Time for the government as a whole (no pun intended)to stop attacking the family, going back, perhaps, to its recognition of no-fault divorce.

Everyone is aware of the irony of the situation. Both with and without intention, through our ideologically driven social engineering, we have weakened family culture. For a central example, consider that it is reported that the U.S. illegitimacy rate is now 51 percent for births to women aged 20 to 30. Then, when more bad guys, not to say barbarians, are the result of our unhappy social arrangements, the same ideology prevents us from either getting justice or effectively managing risk.

When it comes to ideological, irresponsible deliberate non-enforcement of law, there's none more dangerous than our collective failure, federal, state, and municipal to assert our own national sovereignty.
Were I running for Governor I'd be running against Obamacare and immigration because they aren't just federal problems. They are dangers to the Nutmeg community.

HARTFORD — A judge on Monday ordered a $750,000 bond for a man from Honduras, saying the man is a "danger to the community."

Hartford officers arrested Carlos Aguirre, 33, on Sunday, charging him with first-degree unlawful restraint, third-degree sexual assault and motor vehicle charges, according to police. The motor vehicle charges were misuse of plates and failure to renew registration...

Calling him a "danger to the community," the judge set his bail at $750,000.

Aguirre, who had been living with his cousin, is scheduled to return to court on Sept. 19.

The Blumenthal Burisma Connection

Steve Hilton , a Fox News commentator who over the weekend had connected some Burisma corruption dots, had this to say about Connecticut U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal’s association with the tangled knot of corruption in Ukraine: “We cross-referenced the Senate co-sponsors of Ed Markey's Ukraine gas bill with the list of Democrats whom Burisma lobbyist, David Leiter, routinely gave money to and found another one -- one of the most sanctimonious of them all, actually -- Sen. Richard Blumenthal."

Obamagod!

My guess is that Barack Obama is a bit too modest to consider himself a Christ figure , but artist will be artists. And over at “ To Wit ,” a blog run by professional blogger, journalist, radio commentator and ex-Hartford Courant religious writer Colin McEnroe, chocolateers will be chocolateers. Nice to have all this attention paid to Christ so near to Easter.

Did Chris Murphy Engage in Private Diplomacy?

Murphy after Zarif blowup -- Getty Images Connecticut U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, up for reelection this year, had “a secret meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during the Munich Security Conference” in February 2020, according to a posting written by Mollie Hemingway , the Editor-in-Chief of The Federalist. Was Murphy commissioned by proper authorities to participate in the meeting, or was he freelancing? If the former, there is no problem. If the latter, Murphy was courting political disaster. “Such a meeting,” Hemingway wrote at the time, “would mean Murphy had done the type of secret coordination with foreign leaders to potentially undermine the U.S. government that he accused Trump officials of doing as they prepared for Trump’s administration. In February 2017, Murphy demanded investigations of National Security Advisor Mike Flynn because he had a phone call with his counterpart-to-be in Russia. “’Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – e...
