The strange birth of NY's gun laws
January 16, 2012
"Recent months have seen a former Marine from Indiana, a Tea Party activist from California and a nurse from Tennessee all arrested and charged in New York City for possession of firearms they had legal permits to carry back home. All were "nabbed" when they naively sought to check the weapon with security.
These innocents fell afoul of the nation's toughest gun laws. But few New Yorkers know how those laws came to be.
The father of New York gun control was Democratic city pol "Big Tim "Sullivan - a state senator and Tammany Hall crook, a criminal overseer of the gangs of New York.
In 1911 - in the wake of a notorious Gramercy Park blueblood murder-suicide - Sullivan sponsored the Sullivan Act, which mandated police-issued licenses for handguns and made it a felony to carry an unlicensed concealed weapon.
This was the heyday of the pre-Prohibition gangs, roving bands of violent toughs who terrorized ethnic neighborhoods and often fought pitched battles with police. In 1903, the Battle of Rivington Street pitted a Jewish gang, the Eastmans, against the Italian Five Pointers. When the cops showed up, the two underworld armies joined forces and blasted away, resulting in three deaths and scores of injuries. The public was clamoring for action against the gangs.
Problem was the gangs worked for Tammany. The Democratic machine used them as shtarkers (sluggers), enforcing discipline at the polls and inTimidating the opposition. Gang leaders like Monk Eastman were even employed as informal "sheriffs," keeping their turf under Tammany control.
The Tammany Tiger needed to rein in the gangs without completely crippling them. Enter Big Tim with the perfect solution: Ostensibly disarm the gangs - and ordinary citizens, too - while still keeping them on the streets.
In fact, he gave the game away during the debate on the bill, which flew through Albany: "I want to make it so the young thugs in my district will get three years for carrying dangerous weapons instead of getting a sentence in the electric chair a year from now."
Sullivan knew the gangs would flout the law, but appearances were more important than results. Young toughs took to sewing the pockets of their coats shut, so that cops couldn't plant firearms on them, and many gangsters stashed their weapons inside their girlfriends' "bird cages" - wire-mesh fashion contraptions around which women would wind their hair.
Ordinary citizens, on the other hand, were disarmed, which solved another problem: Gangsters had been bitterly complaining to Tammany that their vicTims someTimes shot back at them.
So gang violence didn't drop under the Sullivan Act - and really took off after the passage of Prohibition in 1920. Spectacular gangland rubouts - like the 1932 machine-gunning of "Mad Dog" Coll in a drugstore phone booth on 23rd Street - became the norm.
Congressional hearings in the 1950s, followed by the feds' prolonged assault on the Mafia succeeded in tamping down traditional gangland violence, but guns are still easily available to criminals.
Today, the spate of tourist arrests has some politicians scrambling to reassess the laws. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver says he'll hold committee hearings to examine enforcement of the law and recommend possible changes.
That's a good first step. Every state but Illinois has some form of concealed-carry permission - although some, like New York, California and New Jersey, are heavily restricted. Some sort of reciprocity is needed.
Meanwhile, savor the irony of an edict written by a corrupt politician to save his bad guys from the electric chair's now being used against law-abiding citizens from other states.
And the rest of the story? Big Tim was already suffering from tertiary syphilis when he wrote his law. He went mad soon thereafter and was sent to a sanitarium in 1912. He eventually escaped. His severed body was found on railroad tracks in The Bronx in August 1913.
The dedicated lifelong "public servant" left behind an estate valued at more than $2 million."

Sullivan was a role model for the Democrats of today. Corruption, violence, graft, raw power. (think Gangs of New York) and died completely insane from Tertiary syphilis. 25,000 went to his funeral, possibly to make sure the dirty old bastard was really dead..

Tim Sullivan, the chief patrol agent of the special operations groups, said 100 agents, half from elite units such as BORTAC, were deployed to help boost the sanctuary city operations. He said they were sent, in part, because they are not bound by the Border Patrol's union agreement, which limits the use of overTime and last-minute assignments.
Mr. Sullivan added that his agents would not wear full tactical gear for the temporary mission. Instead, he said, they will wear civilian clothes, with the option of adding body armor. They will remain on assignment in the cities at least until May, according to Salvador Zamora, a Border Patrol spokesman, at which point they may either be sent back to their usual work, or remain in place and be joined by re-enforcements from BORTAC.
Rather than conducting SWAT-type operations and rescue missions, officials said, the agents are conducting patrol work, spending long hours in cars watching people filter in and out of homes, and standing by in case some try to fight back during arrests.
According to the internal email reviewed by The Times, between 500 and 600 investigators are also being temporarily assigned to the sanctuary cities operations from the separate division of ICE known as Homeland Security Investigations, which focuses on breaking up human and drug smuggling rings.
Agents from that division have often been called on to help ICE with street arrests, but they have someTimes publicly complained, arguing that they are being diverted from more important duties.

School vaccination clinics and informed consent: putting children on the vaccine 'assembly line'
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/school-vaccination-clinics-and-informed-consent-putting-children-on-the-vaccine-assembly-line
At best, school based vaccination programs could be described as 'assembly line' medicine that overrides and ignores children's legal right to make a voluntary, informed decision about the vaccine treatment they are submitting to. At worst, the Mature Minor doctrine as applied to children captive to public health dictates in the school setting, is a profound violation of the spirit and intent of ethical and legal norms in medicine.
Part 1: Tim Sullivan and the Ontario College of Teachers
In February of 2017, Ontario high school science teacher, Tim Sullivan, was called before a disciplinary committee of the Ontario College of Teachers for unprofessional conduct. The allegations against him are contained in the Notice of Hearing (pdf). He was found guilty and will find out what penalties he faces later in March. The Counsel for the Ontario Teachers has recommended a one-month suspension and anger management training
Sullivan's concern was about proper informed consent procedures for students. As he told the Globe and Mail reporter, "I'm not an anti-vaxxer," he said. "I'm pro-informed consent, pro-science, pro-asking questions." Some of Mr. Sullivan's students rallied around him by posting an on-line petition of support, which has received over 2,000 signatures to date.
The press (see here, here and here) ran the story under "anti-vaccine" headlines. An observer who attended the Hearing reported to us that the issue of proper informed consent procedures was never addressed at the hearing. Unfortunately, Mr. Sullivan did not have legal representation at the hearing. Apparently each Time he attempted to discuss informed consent, the lawyer for the Ontario College of Teachers objected. As the local newspaper reports:
"An[sic] Norfolk science teacher accused of pushing anti-vaccination views, scaring students and berating a public health nurse has been found guilty of professional misconduct.
"Sullivan, a teacher at a Norfolk high school, denied the accusations, but admitted to leaving class once to speak with nurses and to telling one student that a side effect of one of the vaccines was death.
"He maintains that the students weren't given proper information to consent to the vaccine, including information about potentially serious, but rare, side effects of the shots."
The two allegations that stand out as most egregious in Tim Sullivan's disciplinary case are that as a teacher he:
'harassed' public health nurses during an in school vaccination day for inquiring whether they provide students with the risk information listed in the vaccine product monograph prior to vaccination,
that he "abused" students by frightening them about vaccine risks.
Several obvious questions arise:
Why is it "harassment" for a science teacher to ask medical professionals if they obtain informed consent from students prior to injecting them with complex biochemical pharmaceutical products that carry a risk of injury and death for some?
Why would it be considered "abuse" of students when a science teacher initiates a discussion about published risks disclosed in the vaccine manufacturer's product monograph about pharmaceutical products students may receive by injection in the school setting?
Why is published information which vaccine manufacturers are required by law to disclose prior to obtaining licensure for their vaccine products, forbidden to be discussed with students in the school setting?
Why is the concept of informed consent forbidden to be discussed with students?
Part 2: Informed consent
