Don’t believe us read direct quotes from the Blog:
“It seems that this house was used for a program for recently released inmates from Rikers Island . This program is meant to help prisoners get acclimated to life in public. The ex-prisoners, who were described as "non-violent offenders," would stay at the house from Monday through Wednesday and then return to their regular homes for the rest of the week.”
The Blog goes on with additional comments calling this a “phony issue”
Really?? That’s a load of Crap! “Acclimated to life in public” In our backyard? No way! Phony Issue?
Does the JPCA actually believe that a halfway house is ok for Maspeth in a residential neighborhood? Monday through Wednesday... are they crazy?? It was for everyday! Do they really believe that a group that tries to put 30 Beds in a small home will keep only “non violent” prisoners? Was the fact that there was no supervision in the home ever brought up by JPCA? Does it bother JPCA that this was a for profit group with no regulations to follow?
Does it bother JPCA that St. Stan’s, PS 153 and Martin Luther are a mere few blocks away? Is this a “phony issue” This organization has really lost it! What a Shame.
Now COMET are real heroes in this fight it was a COMET member who noticed this invasion into our community. The Civic acted swiftly and worked with our elected officials.
Or does it bother JPCA that COMET, Councilman Dennis Gallagher and Assemblywoman Marge Markey did what was right for the community! They stood up against those who were trying to destroy our community.
COMET has stood up strong for our community and are deserving of the Juniper Park Patriots “Civic Association of the Month Award” for March 2007. A group of Patriots our founding fathers would be proud of!

I wonder if JPCA would have fought this if the ex cons were going to be housed in St Saviors?
So long as Dogs are not allowed in the Park Convicted Felons and rapist can stand by our Schools.
Maybe we should open one up on Bob Holden’s block then maybe he would deem it a problem!
Better yet put the felons in his illegally converted basement! His Building department Buddy will cover for him!
I had an argument with a certain Florist. He said he was boycotting the Rally because it was not necessary…
no wonder everyone is dropping him from his positions the man is so full of himself I am shocked he hasn’t taken credit for creating the universe!
I'm surprised that Bob Holden and the JPCA did not approach the Halfway House situation in the same way they handled 7-11 and Walgreens, who they labeled as "blights on the community"
You remember those fights, when the JPCA constantly and unmercifully attacked both the 7-11 and Walgreens until both businesses "DONATED" to either the JPCA, the Juniper Berry and/or the Midville Dodgers. Now the JPCA considers them as part of their "family".
Remember, Charles Manson had a "family" also.
By the way Bob, do you still beat your wife. Maybe that's why you feel a "closeness" with ex-cons.
hey maybe tony the tulip should start choosing his friends better< king bob is taken tony down.king bob is a sellout donate money to the jpca an he will not oppose you.his reign is coming to an end
hey steve the grassman has your family been to court lately.i will expose you for the pot head that you are. be ready for that drug test GRASSMAN
The rally was deamed unnecessary by most because it was held a week or 2 AFTER the place was already shut down. Sort of like calling an auto mechanic to fix your car AFTER it had already been scrapped. Why waste taxpayer money just for a photo-op??
