Limousine liberals and crime on the rise

"Limousine liberals and crime on the rise" leads James Pinkerton's column in today's Newsday.

A federal judge has ruled NYC police violated the "constitutional rights" of "peaceful panhandlers." The New York Times applauded.

Pinkerton has a lot to say, including this:

So in The Times' view of the world, which is the view from the back seat of a limousine, this court ruling is a victory for the Constitution, pure and simple. And what of the commonsense right of people to walk the streets unmolested? The lead plaintiff-panhandler, for example, is currently facing felony raps for crack cocaine. So best get a limo, because the judge, Shira Scheindlin, ordered the immediate release of anyone who might be in custody under the old rule.

Pinkerton thinks there's another Rudy Giuliani out there somewhere.

I'll bet most NYC subway riders hope so.

Read the whole thing.
