Beginning to my Newest Story I am working on!/ Politics


This is The Forward first part,

Waterbury, Connecticut, is a small city by size but not by population, it carries it problems from corrupt politicians in its history, to gangsters and an Ex-Governor who was corrupt too, to hoodlums on the streets, who want to be gangsters or tough guys, but will never get there.

This is a story that begins with the birth of one such person, who believes he is smarter and more important than anyone else in the world and the city, he believes he is above the law and knows all the answers. The Truth is he doesn’t, and in the end this is the story of his so called childhood and why he is what he is and more. This is also, what happens to a hoodlum like  he is when he runs into a true man and a human being who will not take such shit from such a little person.

Opinions are welcome!

 

Politics leads the race for me this year so far, as I see republicans throwing so many candidates out their for the Presidency, that it is like throw em at the wall and hope one sticks, to beat Hillary Clinton. It’s sad really, the desperation that is coming from the Republican party about the 2016 election cycle. In The end america will pick the President to follow President Obama not based on stupid issues, or broad statements, but on the best candidate who can improve the job markets, economy, and who won’t cut benefits to Veterans and the poor and unemployed.  The one who improve Obama Care for all, handle foreign affairs properly and who has common sense and logic. I firmly do not believe the Republicans can produce such a candidate to match Hillary Clinton. she has strength in her positions, her honor to up hold and the countries face and pride too. she believes in education for all and equality, she believes all should have jobs who need them and she will work to bring back the manufacturing industry that made America Great. america wasn’t built on fights over immigration either we are based on it really, where do you think we all came from, all of us, except for the native americans who were natural top this land we live in. and we should honor them too, for they were here before us.

In the end ladies and gentlemen of America, we need Hillary Rodham Clinton as our leader, president and more. Any other thought should nopt even be entertained at this point in time in America, in my opinion.

Hoodlums, Gangsters/ Waterbury, Connecticut


     Hoodlums, gangsters, punks, all the same in my book, they try to intimidate and scare you and when they still don’t get their way they stalk and attack for no reason. They abound in the world because too many don’t either use the justice system to defeat them, or they give in and let them get away with their bullshit. Now I will say this, if they have a weapon like a gun or knife and are threatening you, give in to them and fight back later, ok! Believe it or not the American Justice System will help you with these types of people.

  One of the saddest things I have noticed in my lifetime is the downfall and degradation of Waterbury, Connecticut, a once proud city of blue-collar workers who manned the factories that won wars. The factories  are gone now and the streets are falling apart, the people don’t care and neither does the government that runs it. No jobs means no money folks, no factories because you taxed them out of the city, hurts.  I watched as the Naugatuck Valley slowly, starting in the 1970s, with the shut down of Uniroyal Inc. in Naugatuck began its downfall.  They are all gone now, Timex, Chase Brass and Copper, Scovills, and so many others who were in Waterbury forever and the people walk the streets who manned these factories. Sad isn’t it? 

         I drove through Waterbury’s Downtown area the other day, drunks and drug addicts on the green and on East Main and west main Streets. The Homeless begging for food and work on the streets surrounding the mall and the stores on Wolcott Street.  The lack of street maintenance and repair and they lackluster performance of the city employees and cops is crazy. You can say Waterbury, Connecticut is a place I hope the country will never copy, or use as a guide for the rest of the country.  It is now a sad place, that looks like a failing part of an old movie. Blacks and Hispanics and Whites all fighting one another over territory and neighborhoods, hoodlums running the streets terrorizing elderly couples, it is a sad world to live in and I grew up in Waterbury’s north end back in the 1960’s.

         In the 1960s, it didn’t matter what color, race, creed or nationality you were, everyone worked to survive, pay their bills and taxes and keep a roof over their families heads. Blacks and Whites and Hispanics  and Orientals all got along, we all made peace with one another and worked side by side and lived side by side.  Gangs and Hoodlum though haven’t stopped coming up and seems they will never disappear from Waterbury’s lifestyle. The answer for these hoodlum and gangster types is terrorize, pressure and attack anyone they want to get what they want, it can’t continue Waterbury, someone needs to step up soon and stop it, or the next step is people with guns defending themselves and dead bodies piling up. I hope that makes sense, because that is the depth and reach of the tactics of these people and people get fed up and will start to fight back. Sadly then, Waterbury will crumble more, and destroy itself.

2014, and it has been since 1969 when I left Waterbury to live elsewhere, yet going back it changed so much for the bad I would never live in it again. Crime rates have jumped, hoodlums and punks and thieves are all over the city period.Sadly, no one can stop it, or they are a part of it and have no want to, or they are scared of it all and it continues. At some point someone will have to step up, or step in and clean Waterbury up and bring back it’s jobs and manufacturing base.  Hopefully it will be sooner than later, time shall tell!
