WASHINGTON – Brian Carranza, 21, pleaded guilty today before U.S. District Court Judge Carol B. Amon in Brooklyn, N.Y., to conspiring to assault African-American residents in Staten Island, N.Y., in retaliation for President Barack Obama winning last year’s presidential election, Acting Assistant Attorney General Loretta King for the Civil Rights Division and U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Benton J. Campbell announced.
Carranza, of Staten Island, N.Y., faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a 250,000 fine. A sentencing date has not been set by the court.
The case is being investigated by the FBI and the New York City Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Special Litigation Counsel Kristy Parker of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and Assistant U.S. Attorney Pamela Chen.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

Hell, Eddie, if I was retarded I'd have a blog just like this one, can't you do ANYTHING other than bitch and moan?
Why do the heathen rage? Sounds like he committed a crime. He pled guilty.
