Kevin, I couldn't agree more. But we're plugging the dam with bubble gum. Bronin said "I'll get illegal guns off the street and hire more cops". Well, do you really not think we haven't been doing that all along? HPD makes gun arrests almost daily, courts slap them on the wrist or let them go, if they do get a little state time, Governor Malloy gives them an early release. If the Feds adopt the case, as they sometimes do, Obama gives them an early release. So the bottom line is, that's why they're are so many convicted felons back on the street possessing guns like its normal business. It's absolutely disgusting I tell you. I still without a doubt wish Bronin the best.

That is just dumb. There are so many guns on the street because generally speaking guns are easy to get both legally and illegally. If guns are harder to get then there will be less on the street. Putting evermore criminal in jail for longer does not help deter future crime. Statistic bear this out. Additionally, mass incarceration creates a whole swath of society that is prevented from productive members once they mature (older people commit less crime than those in their 20s).

You said "Putting evermore criminal in jail for longer does not help deter future crime. Statistic bear this out."

First, I'd like you to cite where you found your statistic pertaining to future crime.
I can guarantee that some one put in jail is NOT committing crimes against the general public.

Second, to LEGALLY own/carry a weapon is not an easy task.

Third, pertaining to "Mass Incarceration", people are, or should be, held responsible for their actions.

We all have choices. When too many wrong choices are made, then choices are made for you. IE: When to get up, & go to bed, when to shower, when to eat, etc.

If I had to eat at MacDonald's, especially on Washington Street, I would put a gun on my lap, too, just in case.

McDonald's is cocaine, heroin, vicodin and oxicodone. Lots of it.

Lets give 1:44 pm a break,,,i say we put his theory to the test,,, lock up "ALL" thugs right from their FIRST arrest and keep them in jail until they turn 30,,,,this way when released they wont have 15 or more arrests following them around the rest of their lives!!! This 1:44 pm is smarter than you think!!

I only went in there once out of desperation - I was hungry on my way home. The counter was so confused, they gave me a double order of everything I asked for and didn't charge me for the extra. But I didn't find any dope inside but I'll bet a bag of dope comes with a side order of fries for a five spot.

You can find guns in every corner in Hartford, in and out of McDonald's, in and out of Burger Kings. From North End to South End, from East to West, guns are EVERYWHERE in Hartford.

Everybody knows there are so many guns in Hartford, as 1:46PM called it Hartford Loaded With Loaded Guns.
Ask Segarra why there's no replacement to so many police officers who are leaving and retiring, many who already did. What exactly was Segarra thinking, or maybe he was just too busy with his first stadium and his other stadium.

Here's something not so new from channel 3 reported just a few hours ago:

"Hartford police are investigating two overnight shootings. Police tell Eyewitness News that the pair of shootings have left two people injured."

Obviously this's no news, this is Hartford almost every single day.

It's business as usual for Pedro Caviar Segarra. Remember how he jumped on every shooting during elections season? Elections season is now over, Segarra is nowhere to be found. Maybe he was busy partying last night. Or just enjoying some good caviar paid for by US.

Segarra doesn't function as a mayor, he hasn't functioned as mayor for 5 1/2 years. Don't expect him to be a "mayor" in his last 30 days.

To be candid, most elected officials do the same. If they need publicity to get re-elected, they will kiss babies or anyone's ' unwiped behinds for a cheap vote. I vaguely remember as a child, my parents talking about Ann Ucello rushing to a house fire while the cameras were rolling. They all do it. Maria Caviar is just one in a long line of reptiles masquerading as honorable political leaders, running to the fire. And when the bell tolls and no further elections are anticipated, no need to go to the fire. No need to consul with families whose members were gunned down. No need to do anything but show their true self, which is essentially a bankrupt soul.

Yes, this is the Tim of the year when those leaving office begin counting how much of a pension has accrued. And reviving a private practice that was never much developed in the first place.

Is the rumor true of federal agents at city hall? Heard there going to investigate HFD as well.

Anonymous 7:57am,

It is not a rumor. There are definitely Federal Agents investigating City Hall. Definitely in relation to the Dillon Stadium Grand Jury and there may be something going on with HFD. It seems odd that the State investigation into the Bell death is taking so long, there might be other reasons for that delay including a Federal inquiry. As in most Federal Investigations, things are kept pretty quiet until they start taking action with arrests or calling witnesses to a grand jury. Keep your eyes and ears open and let me know if you hear anything.

I agree with you. Segarra bears a lot of the responsibility for the crime in Hartford. He wasted his time and spent OUR hard earned money on ridiculous shit like Dunkin Donuts Stadium and Dillon 'Whatever' Stadium, instead of concentrating and improving the safety in OUR city. Whenever there was a crisis or a problem, Segarra turned away from it and tried to "invent" something new.

Segarra is no leader. He never was.
Segarra is an idiot. He always was.

Also, it is not the job of government to find jobs for its residents. That chore falls to private industry. A mayor can create an environment that hopefully will inspire industry to grow. But it is one big fat mistake to think that it is the responsibility of government to hire people. Not over my dead, tax-paying body.

Not over NY dead, tax-paying body as well. However, Segarra created an environment of waste, inefficiencies, high-high taxes, not to forget a crime infested city.
No business, no investor would like to be in such environment.

@11:06AM, above all, Segarra created an atmosphere of corruption together with his closest allies SKB, Minnie Mouse and Vargas. Giving away jobs to Edwin Vargas niece LaLuz, Minnie Mouse Gonzalez' daughter Maldonado, securing top job to Saundra's boy Terry Waller, hiring a "scheduler" and so on.
An anti-business environment, an atmosphere of corruption.
