Candidate Dan Halloran Supports Jack Price and Calls for Justice in College Point
On Saturday, I took part in a parade and rally in College Point to support Jack Price. Jack is a longtime resident of the neighborhood who was nearly killed in a ruthless and savage attack here just a few weeks ago. The attackers took $10 and a pack of cigarettes – but that’s not why they targeted Jack.
No, they robbed and assaulted Jack because he is gay.
Queens is the most diverse place in the world. We have people of all walks of life here, people from all over the planet, of every creed and ethnicity you can imagine. In short, we’re all unique – and that’s one of the things that makes our community such a great place to live.
So when something like this happens in our backyard, we must all come together and reject hatred.
I showed support for Jack because all New Yorkers have the right to feel safe in their home neighborhoods.
I commend the police for making a swift arrest of the alleged perpetrators – and I’m thankful that security cameras in the area helped make the arrest happen. As a former prosecutor, I know how important it is to crack down on violent crime in every way we can.
The criminals who almost killed Jack Price deserve to be punished to the full extent of the law. And Jack and his friends and family deserve our thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.
what is the most direct way for the public to follow this case?
are there court websites? the only updates i find are the village voice.
it seems like there should be a central point of ref.
