Just saying that if this person is not here legally according to DeBlasio this is not a serious enough offense for the NYPD to contact the feds if he is ever caught. Also welfare fund is also allowed as not being serious enough. Got to love our mayor and he will get a second term as no one is opposing him.

1st of all, Asia is huge and made up of many countries with many looks and cultures. It is not just China and Japan. 2nd, the guy looks nice! Seriously? You think you can tell who is a pervert by looking at them?

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
