Woodside has been ruined since the 1960s My dad used to own a lot of property on Roosevelt Ave. over the years we sold off a lot of the buildings. Every now and then we walk up the avenue and can’t believe how ratty it is. It used to be a nice place. Now it’s a 3RD world ghetto

Jim Bakker is the infamous televangelist who worked with Pat Robertson at Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting network. Sources at the time, and then later Jim himself, confirmed that he committed adultery with Jessica Hahn, and then used charitable donations to pay her hush money. Fellow televangelists have stated in the past that they believe he’s gay. Bakker was indicted on 23 federal charges of fraud, tax evasion, and racketeering.

Bob Barr is the Republican Congressman from Georgia who sponsored the anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act, saying “The flames of hedonism, the flames of narcissism, the flames of self-centered morality are licking at the very foundation of our society, the family unit.” He was married three times, and paid for his second wife’s abortion (she also suspected he was cheating on her). he failed to pay child support to the children of his first two wives and while married to his third and present wife and was photographed licking whipped cream off of strippers at his inaugural party.

Parker J. Bena was a Republican activist and a key player in the campaign to elect George W. Bush as President. Bena was charged and later pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography and lying to the FBI. Bena reportedly told the feds that he had received an unsolicited e-mail containing pictures of children (some as young as three years old) performing various sexual acts, but agents learned that he had in fact voluntarily entered a number of child pornography websites and downloaded the images himself. This is said to have involved acts with children as young as 3 years old, on his home computer. Parker J. Bena was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison and fined $18,000.

John Bolton, President George W. Bush’s highly contested appointee ambassador to United Nations is suspected of forcing his former wife to be involved in unsavory group sex acts. Corroborated allegations that Mr. Bolton’s first wife, Christina Bolton, was forced to engage in group sex have not been refuted by the State Department despite inquires posed by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt concerning the allegations. Mr. Flynt has obtained information from numerous sources that Mr. Bolton participated in paid visits to Plato’s Retreat, the popular swingers club that operated in New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Jim Bunn Congressman of Oregon: Many attribute the success Jim Bunn experienced in great part to support from the Christian Coalition. Congressman Jim Bunn won his congressional seat, and then sources say that he immediately ditched his wife, the mother of his five children, and married a staffer. Jim Bunn is said to have put his new wife on the state payroll for the unheard-of salary of $97,500, thereby becoming one of the biggest waste and spend conservatives from the state of Oregon.

President of the United States George W. Bush, was accused in a criminal complaint and lawsuit of raping Margie Schoedinger, who later died in a questionable case of suicide. Bush was also accused by Tammy Phillips, a former stripper, who was quoted in the National Enquirer in 2000 saying she had an affair with Bush that had ended in 1999. Another serious question involves statements from the wife of Red Blount, whom Bush campaigned for, while possibly A.W.O.L from the Air National Guard at age 26. She stated that he was “all over their 14 year old daughter.” Multiple Sources

Neil Bush, brother or G. W. Bush, in a March 2003 divorce deposition, admitted repeatedly having sex with strange women who just showed up at his room while on an Asian business trip. Overshadowing the sex scandal at the time was a business scandal. Neal Bush keeps a low profile and is not seen in public very often. He also has questionable ties to the security of the World Trade Towers in the September 11th 2001 attacks on the United States. Source: Washington Post article

Ken Calvert, Congressman (R-California), has been called the champion of the Christian Coalition and its “family values.” But in reality, Ken Calvert was sued as an alimony “deadbeat dad” by his ex-wife who said, “We can’t forgive what occurred between the President and Lewinsky.” In 1993, Calvert was caught by police officers receiving oral sex from a prostitute. He attempted to flee the scene but apparently couldn’t move fast enough to get away from police, and was arrested.

Helen Chenoweth, Congresswoman (R-Id.). In 1995, Chenoweth had denied having an affair when asked about it by The Spokane Spokesman-Review. In 1998 she called (in a campaign ad) for Bill Clinton’s resignation saying, “I believe that personal conduct and integrity do matter”. Days later she admitted to a six-year adulterous affair with a married associate, but now she claims a pardon from a higher authority: “I’ve asked for God’s forgiveness, and I’ve received it,” she revealed.

Mark Foley, Republican Representative, Florida Sixteenth Congressional District. Resigned after trying to solicit sex from male congressional pages via an instant messenger program. The conversations included his asking a sixteen-year-old “stud” whether his penis was erect and requesting that he take out and measure his penis. The cover-up involved Republican House Majority Leader John Boehner, Ohio Eighth Congressional District and Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Illinois Fourteenth District.

Newt Gingrich, well established crusader against legislation that assists women and the poor, has married three times while spouting Christian values the entire time. Newt Gingrich’s campaign worker Anne Manning, admitted that she gave Newt oral sex while he was still married to his first wife, essentially placing Newt in the exact same position President Clinton had to endure when Gingrich and his cronies maintained their pressure over the Lewinski incident. Gingrish informed one wife he was filing for divorce while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer treatments. Salon article

Philip Giordano, the former Republican mayor of Waterbury, Connecticut was sentenced by a state court to serve 37 years for forcing two little girls to perform acts of oral sex on him in his Waterbury City Hall office. While investigating municipal corruption, the FBI discovered phone records and pictures of Giordano with a prostitute named Guitana Jones, as well as with her 10-year-old niece and her 8-year-old daughter. 37-years is a very long prison sentence, many said at the time that it still wasn’t enough.

Rudy Giuliani, New York Mayor and Republican Presidential Candidate, is reported as having had an adulterous affair that failed to stay out of the public light. Groups also cite Giuliani for pocketing an $80,000 fee for speaking at a charity benefit for tsunami aid which raised only $60,000 for the victims themselves. Critics of Giuliani say there will be more revelations about his character and past as his presidential aspirations gain momentum.

making light of the situation is extremely inappropriate and why so many thought they could get away with it for so long. Ignorant posts like yours should be rejected by the post, as your attitude no longer flies in this day and age.

My babysitter told me that in Mexico City there are separate subway cars specifically designated for women and children (under the age of 12). They even have women-only buses. i worry about her because she takes the number 7 train daily.

Yeah real smart, on an enclosed train where you now contaminate other passengers. Pepper spray doesn’t just effect the person, it lingers in the air and effects others.

I think that WOMEN who ride the subway should be able to get free self-defense classes of their choice, paid for by a subway. It is time that we take a stance and let these pervs know they will not get away with this behavior!!

In some ways, groping seems almost an accepted part of subway culture. I had dealt many times with men rubbing up against me or trying to touch me on crowded trains in the morning. It’s worse in the summer months when everyone is wearing less clothing. The first time it happened I turned around and yelled at the guy. To be honest, the first thing in my head was: Just get away.

Let’s call street harassment what it is: an epidemic!! Woman need more protection on the subway like more police patrol, universal Wi-Fi and cell service underground, an alarm system to alert all conductors, cameras in cars, and an easy way of getting in touch with the police directly (App, phone, etc).

Let’s be clear: Sexual assaults and harassment issues are rampant and global. As such, it’s also a serious problem among the Latino community. I have to walk by this area daily. And I am sick and tired of all the daily cat-calling, and sometimes touching and stalking I have seen and experienced.

Actually, the police are known to lie about 90% cases involving latino arrests. It is a discriminatory and biased society that needs a wake up.
So please, wake up.

You are truly an idiot, show us your facts about the Police lying. If you don’t like our society, then move to somewhere where you think it’s a Utopia. I bet you would move back in a heartbeat. We may have some problems in this country but I guarantee you it is way better than just about everywhere in the world.

i agree that victims of harassment aren’t just women; I have frequently been made uncomfortable by leers or inappropriate touching from both men and women on the trains. But the majority of victims are woman.

Yeah, good to see the Sunnyside Post focus on this issue. If you act like a jerk like this, you’re going to get you face plastered on the internet. That’s a pretty great deterrent. That said, I hope the Post is careful about putting someone’s face on blast when there has been no actual proof or conviction for wrongdoing. They could potentially ruin an innocent person’s life. But I guess if the police are cool with putting a face out there, no reason the post can’t do the same.

Each station should have a video monitor displaying suspects for the public to see and be an alert for. They can install them on platforms while people wait for trains and use them for notifying people of train arrivals and delays, weather broadcasts, emergencies, wanted people accused of subway crimes emergencies and so forth. Throw in a couple of public and private ads and it will pay for itself. Just provide the announcements also in Spanish for like the 7 train.

I’m going to take a guess that harassment has always been at fairly high levels on all trains- but people are finally speaking up about it, fighting back, and reporting it. If we keep up fighting back the larger culture will change. This is sad to read about, but every media story about it is a step in the right direction.

I counted once and was shocked to be able to recall over 41 instances from the time I was 8 and a man drove up beside me, called me over to the car and I saw him wiggle his thing at me until ten years ago when I was almost 50. None happened when I was dressed up or at 3 am. They were al either on the sidewalks, subways of parks of NYC. Most of them I never told anyone about. Sexual harassment gave me a nervous breakdown more than once and caused me to change careers. But it wasn’t considered a crime worthy of attention then. Thank God things are changing.

Homeless men charged in deadly 7 train subway brawl in Woodside: DA

Three homeless men were arraigned in Queens Criminal Court on Tuesday and variously charged with felony robbery, attempted gang assault, and assault for allegedly stealing the belongings of a 69-year-old homeless man who was asleep on a Manhattan-bound 7 train in Woodside early Sunday morning.

The victim woke up and tried to regain his property. During the ensuing brawl, the victim fatally stabbed a 37-year-old assailant and slashed a second man. The victim has not been charged in the fatal stabbing. The investigation by the NYPD’s Queens Homicide Squad and members of the 108th Precinct in Long Island City remains ongoing.
