AROUND 8O MIGRANTS ARRIVE IN POUGHKEEPSIE

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short EVERYTHING CROTON.

Migrants bused in from New York City arrived at the Red Roof PLUS+ hotel in Poughkeepsie late Sunday afternoon amid a state of emergency in Dutchess County.

The Poughkeepsie hotel is one of many locations Mayor Eric Adams had planned to bus migrants from Manhattan in order to make room for more incoming asylum seekers.Organizations For the Many and the Democratic Socialists of America waited outside the hotel for their arrival earlier in the day. Prior to their arrival, there were concerns that the state of emergency declared by Dutchess County Executive William F.X. O'Neil could interfere with Adams’ plans to send them to the hotel.

IN THE NEWS---DANIEL PENNY BREAKS HIS SILENCE FOLLOWING THE DEATH OF JORDAN NEELY

By Daily Wire News------------------------------------May 20, 2023 DailyWire.com

Daniel Penny, the 24-year-old former U.S. Marine, spoke out for the first time since he put Jordan Neely in a chokehold on a New York City subway at the start of the month, which later resulted in Neely’s death.

Penny, who was charged with second degree manslaughter and faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted, told the New York Post that the incident had nothing to do with race.

Penny placed Neely, a homeless man with over 40 arrests and a history of mental health issues, in a chokehold after Neely embarked on an aggressive rant and began screaming that he did not care if he went to jail.  READ MORE AT Daniel Penny Breaks His Silence Following The Death Of Jordan Neely | The Daily Wire

SARAH COMRIE DESERVES HER GOOD NAME BACK---ARTICLE AND FUNDRAISER LINK--BY JEFFREY BLEHAR

By now, you may have heard about the story of the newest New York City “Karen” (the term refers to an officious or panicky white woman freaking out in public, usually in a supposed expression of racial bias or generalized “white privilege”). Her name is Sarah Comrie, she is a nurse at NYC Bellevue Hospital, and on May 13 a video was posted to the internet purporting to show her having a “freak-out” while trying to take a Citi Bike (New York’s bike-rental service) claimed by four young black men. The narrative being sold is that this woman tried to steal a bike that one of the (many) men in the video had rented and cried “fake white-woman tears” to try and get them in trouble before backing off. That’s it, that’s the story.

As expected for world-historical crimes documented by camera, the reaction on social media was immediate, escalatory, and insanely brutal. Noted spotlight-seeker Benjamin Crump, who is a “civil-rights attorney” in the same way that Al Sharpton is a “reverend,” saw the video and confidently tweeted: “A white woman was caught on camera attempting to STEAL a Citi Bike from a young Black man in NYC. She grossly tried to weaponize her tears to paint this man as a threat. This is EXACTLY the type of behavior that has endangered so many Black men in the past!” (I would have linked the tweet, but he deleted it this morning; you will soon see why.)

A lesser-known grifter went commensurately further for attention:

A suspected white supremacist woman tried to steal a Citi Bike from a Black kid after he paid for it, and when him and his friends wouldn’t allow her to steal it, she went thru all the Karen tactics to try to get the Black youths hemmed up:

*Screaming for help

*Fake crying

*Mayo Babbling

The vilest slur of all came from a clickbait website called NewsOne (I will not link to it), which made the immediately viral claim that Comrie was the modern-day equivalent of the white Southern woman whose false accusations led to the murder of young Emmett Till, one of the most infamous crimes of the Jim Crow era.

And it was all based on complete nonsense. Oh, well.

As it turns out, Comrie has, and is more than willing to produce, the receipt for her bike purchase. NBC New York then went and cross-checked it with the viral video and found that the serial numbers matched up. She was innocent. It was her bike.
