Convicts taunting prison guards after reading list of gun permit holders' names, addr

[Little-Acorn]

Now the prison inmates are walking up to prison guards and reciting the guards' exact home address to them. "Now we know where you live, sucka!"... and comments like that. They got the addresses, from the newspaper's published map of gun owner permits.

Good job, Rockland Journal News.

You won't need police protection any time soon, will you, newpapers people? Cops may be too busy guarding their own homes against recently-released criminals, to respond to your calls. I know I would be.

Hope the paper's publishers don't mind.

Journal News gun permit map endangers officers, officials say

Criticism of The Journal News, which published a gun permit database last month, broadened Friday with Rockland law enforcement officials saying the map listing the names and addresses of those with gun permits is endangering lives.

Inmates at the Rockland County jail are taunting corrections officers by saying they know the guards' home addresses -- information they got from the list published by Westchester-based newspaper, Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco said.

"Since about 9:30 this morning, I've been in a meeting with my corrections officers and their unions. They have inmates coming up to them and telling them exactly where they live. That's not acceptable to me," Falco said at a news conference Friday morning in New City, where local leaders condemned the list.

Falco, along with other supporting police chiefs and county legislators, wants the paper to remove the information from its website.

We're all about to see how SMART everyone who works for, or worked for that rag really is now.

Wonder how quickly the local police department would respond to a 9 1 1 call?

Stopping at DUNCAN DONUTS on the way, or going 10-7 to take a leak before heading over to the Journal could turn heads.

I think there should be a request made (lawsuit?) for the paper to pay for the moving expenses of everyone of those LE officers and their families.

Not only LE but the people who have licenses to protect themselves from former boyfriends, husbands, etc....such as this....

"When I saw the list, I had an immediate flood of emotions that I cannot even describe to you," said Swift. "I originally obtained a gun permit because I had previously been married to a man who attempted to strangle me . . . The first emotion I felt was, 'Oh my gosh, he can find me.'"

As Kathianne would say, unintended consequences.

Or are they?
