Great Man : Thompson

October 10, 2016, 07:37 PM

Thompson made history by becoming the borough’s first African-American chief prosecutor. He was also the first to defeat a sitting Brooklyn district attorney since 1911.

Thompson ordered his office not to prosecute low-level marijuana arrests, in part to devote more resources to fight gun crimes, rape and domestic violence. He said he also wanted to spare younger New Yorkers from “the burden of a criminal record.”

THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!

"Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.

"It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.
