Two plead not guilty after 2nd-degree murder indictment By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com

On Monday, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly announced the indictment of two men for their alleged roles in the murder of a 23-year-old North Baldwin man in October 2021 in Baldwin during an apparent drug deal. Darin Semple, 20, of Freeport, was arraigned on Monday in Nassau County Court, on charges including seconddegree murder and first- and second-degree robbery. Semple pleaded not guilty, and is due back in court on May 25. Devin Obleanis, 21, of Cen-

tral Islip, had already been arraigned on March 25, on the same charges. He pleaded not guilty, and was due back in court on Wednesday, after the Herald went to press. If convicted of the murder charge, the defendants would face sentences of 15 years to life in prison. “The defendants allegedly lured Rafael Delossantos to Baldwin under the guise of buying marijuana, but instead, the meet-up was an ambush that left him dead,” Donnelly said. “The scourge of gun violence continues to plague our

p.m., Semple, Obleanis and another suspect, who is still at large, met up with Delossantos on Victoria Street in Baldwin. Obleanis had allegedly textmessaged Delossantos and agreed to meet him to buy marijuana. Semple, Obleanis and the third suspect pulled up behind Delossantos’s vehicle in their

car, got out and held him at gunpoint, the indictment states. The three men then allegedly stole marijuana from Delossantos and shot him twice before fleeing. According to Nassau County Police detectives, after the attackers fled, officers responded to a call reporting an auto Continued on page 13

April 28, 2022 — FREEPORT HERALD

Can you sum up all your environmental positions into two-minute sound bites? That’s what the four Democratic candidates seeking to replace U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice were asked to do last week, taking the stage at Hofstra University’s Breslin Hall to talk about the planet just in time for Earth Day. Malverne village mayor Keith Corbett spent his time on what he referred to as big projects like tapping into a large untouched aquifer under Long Island, and focusing on offshore wind farms. “We need to educate and train the next generation of workers,” Corbett told Julie Tighe, president of the New York League of Conservation Voters, who moderated the event. Claiming that shore strengthening would save money in the long run, it would still “cost $800 to $900 million to build that infrastructure, “ Cobett said “It’s worth building that infrastructure protecting the rest of the property when it’s going to be $800 billion if a Superstorm Sandy were to come through again.” Joining Corbett on the stage were Carrié Solages, Laura Gillen and Kevin Shakil-Mendez. When it comes to the Long Island State Park system, Corbett says “there is already money set aside in the Department of Transportation budget” for changes like electric buses, trains and charging stations — all of which could offer a greener solution. Solages, the county legislator who represents the greater Elmont and Valley Stream areas, wants to attack the waste crisis, bringing it to a “sustainable zero” by 2030. He’d accomplish it by offering incentives to companies big and small to invest in limited waste, recycling and sustainable practices. “The federal gover nment cannot require our state government to do anything,” Solages said, “but one thing the

federal government can do is provide incentives for our state government and village governments to get stuff done. We know local governments will take advantage (to) limit waste, promote more compost programs, (and) more usage of recyclables.” Gillen told the group environmental issues have been a “priority for her administration” when she was a Town of Hempstead supervisor. Speaking heavily on infrastructure, Gillen’s plan is to move away from fossil fuels by strengthening the electrical grid. She also wants to shift from a dependency on cars more walkable communities. But no one running for this congressional seat should be all talk, Gillen said. “If you’re going to set up a regulatory system where you’re going to monitor air quality- and monitor water quality and make sure that the standards are applied in all communities, there has to be an enforcement mechanism,” she said. Shakil-Mendez, a 29-year-old political newcomer from Westbury, said it was last year’s Jamaica Ash & Rubbish Removal Co., fire in his town that spurred him to run for Congress. He went door-to-door handing out KN95 masks after the sixalarm fire, to help protect his neighbors from the smoke and fumes from the smoldering debris. ”When I went on-site, I could still smell the smoke and the fumes going into my lungs,” he said. “When you talk environmental justice, nothing was done for this community.” Shakil-Mendez stayed away from many other specifics, instead saying he would consult scientists and experts to help create bills. He also wants to look closely at what Europe is doing when it comes to environmentalism, and duplicate that on Long Island — like placing small wind turbines on the sides of main roads, harnessing energy from traffic as it passes by. The winner of this primary is expected to face Town of Hempstead councilman and Republican Anthony D’Esposito in November.

Exuberant Earth Day at Brookside Preserve Elected officials and volunteers unburden the preserve of heaps of garbage By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com

On Saturday, April 23, as part of a weekend-long celebration of Earth Day, Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé (D - Freeport) and New York State Assemblywoman Judy Griffin (D - Rockville Centre) joined residents, park lovers and environmentalists in giving Freeport’s Brookside Preserve some springtime TLC during a community clean-up hosted by Mulé’s office. Garbage bags and plastic gloves were provided by the organizers, and participants brought their own pokers, rakes, grabbers and other supplemental tools. To safeguard against ticks and other hazards, long sleeves, pants, socks and other protective attire were the order of the day. The volunteer team convened at 10:00 a.m. at the Freeport entrance to the preserve, across Brookside Avenue from Glacken Park. They slogged through

brush, waded into Milburn Creek, and pounded along pathways. By the end of the two hours, sweaty but triumphant, the group had amassed an impressive array of trash-filled garbage bags, freeing the preserve, at least temporarily, to be enjoyed by nature-lovers, as well as the birds and small creatures that still inhabit the green, moist shelter that the preserve provides them. Earth Day was proposed by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1969. Young activists took up the cause, and on April 22, 1970, New York Mayor John V. Lindsay closed Fifth Avenue to accommodate tens of thousands of New Yorkers marching for a clean environment. The Nixon Administration responded. By the end of 1970, the Environmental Protection Agency had been established, and Congress had passed the Clean Air Act. The yearly occasion reminds the nation of the importance of environmental cleanliness.

Car drives into water at Cow Meadow Park

FREEPORT HERALD — April 28, 2022

By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com

A car containing a single occupant drove off the beach beside the old marina at Cow Meadow Park on Monday afternoon, directly into the water, and sank 50 to 80 feet offshore. A multi-agency recovery effort finally resulted in the recovery of the car, too late to save its driver. The Freeport Police Department received a call at 1:31 p.m. from two joggers in the park. “They noticed a vehicle was doing some donuts on the grass and then went directly through the beach and into the water,” explained Mayor Robert Kennedy. “They saw the car drifting away, floating because it was almost airtight. It must have gone out about 50 feet and drifted north because the tide was coming in at the time.“ Within 2.5 minutes, the Freeport Fire Department had rescue vehicles at the scene. Besides the fire department, responding agencies were the Freeport Police Department, the Nassau County Police Department, the Coast Guard, the Town of Hempstead Bay Constables, and the New York City Police Department, which sent a helicopter with a scuba diver. Both the Freeport and the Nassau County Police Departments also sent in scuba divers. Kennedy estimated, “There must have been 100 first responders there literally risking their own lives to locate this vehicle.” The drift of the tide sent the car into deeper water, perhaps 20 feet deep, Kennedy said. He rushed down to the scene and witnessed the rescue efforts. “I noticed numerous Village of Freeport firefighters in uniform and civilian clothes, and Nassau County police,” Kennedy said, “taking off their badges and their guns and going into the water in their uniforms and civilian clothes and trying to find the car, without wet gear or suits, which really made me feel for these gentle-

That water was below 50 degrees. … They did come out, and a couple of them were put into ambulances to warm up.” After about 40 minutes, Kennedy said, the situation was deemed a recovery rather than a search-and-rescue, because a person in a car underwater that long could not survive. Once they found the car, the divers put a rope around it and it was hauled out. “We felt really bad,” Kennedy said. “We did get the car

out, they got the individual out, and a lot of time and effort was put into it.” Kennedy said that the Cow Meadow Park beach was about 70 feet across. The car was on the narrow roadway leading to the beach, and when it headed for the water, it left no skid marks. “It was a straight run through the beach into the water,” said Kennedy. “It must have been at an accelerated rate of speed.” An investigation is ongoing.

News brief Abrahams applauds call-off for Dover Corp. On Monday, April 25, the Nassau County Legislature was poised to vote to approve a settlement with Dover Gourmet Corporation. However, following criticism from Minority Leader Kevan M. Abrahams (D - Freeport) and the issuance of a critical report from the independent Office of the Inspector General, the vote was pulled from the legislative agenda. Following Monday’s action, Minority Leader Abrahams issued the following statement: “I am glad that the county executive heeded our call to re-bid this work and

abandon a settlement that would have given a vendor with a spotty performance record a long-term, no-bid contract extension they never asked for,” Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Kevan Abrahams (D - Freeport) said. “Such an outcome clearly would not have been in the best interest of our residents. Moving forward, the members of the Minority Caucus will continue to ensure that competitive bidding delivers the best services to Nassau taxpayers at the best possible price.”

The Plaintiff makes no personal claim against any Defendants in this action. The foregoing summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of the Honorable David P. Sullivan, J.S.C. dated March 23, 2022 Help for Homeowners in Foreclosure New York State Law requires that we send you this notice about the foreclosure process. Please read it carefully. Summons and Complaint You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the summons and complaint in this foreclosure action,

you may lose your home. Please read the summons and complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself. Sources of Information and Assistance The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the tollfree helpline maintained by the New York State Department of Financial Services at (800) 342-3736 or visit the Department’s website at http://www.dfs.ny.gov. Rights and Obligations YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LEAVE YOUR HOME AT THIS TIME. You have the right to stay in your home during the foreclosure process.

Regardless of whether you choose to remain in your home, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY and pay property taxes in accordance with state and local law. Foreclosure Rescue Scams Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. 130524

WE NOW DO ALL KINDS OF MASONRY WORK!

A. There are many items to include in your thought process for finishing your basement. Mistakes are made, first, by ever assuming that the people doing the work know the laws. The biggest problem I see is that the ceiling is just a little too low, that someone dropped the entire ceiling level just because of one pipe. The onte eeper minimum ceiling height in the current code is 6 feet 8 inches clearance, with 6 feet 4 inches under the center beams, air ducts or soffits anywhere in the basement. Always leave access for shutoff valves, wiring connections, cleanouts and other controls. If you need to move pipes that were installed without any care for your future use of the basement, move them. Piping should go around the perimeter of the basement, no matter what excuse you hear. Because of poor planning and even worse execution, pipes are the No. 1 problem, because someone thoughtlessly put them in a place that was good for them and not for you. The ceiling finish can be sheetrock in the larger areas with perimeter “hung” track ceilings outfitted with removable ceiling tiles. Again, even those lowered perimeter and under-beam soffits need to be no less than 6 feet 4 inches above the floor. Tall firefighters need to avoid hitting their heads when they’re running though your smoke-filled basement to rescue you or your loved ones. Although you know you need an escape well window or exterior door entry, placement of the well in some side or front yards can cause a code violation if it’s closer than allowed to a property line. Verify your setback requirements for your zone, and even confirm that with an official at your local building department. Many jurisdictions require a permit with plans and inspections, so don’t forget these important requirements. There are so many people who are frustrated that their contractor didn’t tell them that they needed a permit, and even worse, that they now have a violation that requires reconstruction to pass inspections. Don’t be one of those people. Other important issues include what to do with enclosing your heating equipment, putting laundry sinks and washing machines too close to the main electrical service panel, using the wrong kind of wall studs for perimeter walls, not insulating correctly and forgetting to put handrails on the access stairs, inside and out. Heating equipment, to the code, must follow the manufacturer’s specifications. Installers rarely leave a manual. Sometimes the internet helps. There must be 5/8-inch type X gypsum board on the ceiling extending at least 1 foot in each direction around the boiler. Best of luck!

Q. Our basement is unfinished, and we plan to put in walls and a finished ceiling. We know we need an escape window, but what are your suggestions on other things, like the kind of ceiling? I’m thinking about just sheetrock, but what kind of access do you recommend for the pipes and wires I’ll need to get to?

to todAy’s puzzle

opinions

eople have called him many things — kind, loving, helpful, funny. I’ve heard him described as meticulous. But to me and my siblings, he’s simply Dad. This year my father turns 89. He still drives. He still goes to church, where he displays his musical talents on the organ, which he taught himself to play. He lives just blocks from my stepmother, who is in an assisted-living facility with severe dementia. He spends as much time there as he can. MiCHAEL My dad loves his wife, his family, HinMAn his spiritual home, and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I don’t think anyone was more excited about Tom Brady making the move from Boston. But when I think about my dad, more often than not, my smile turns to tears. Not about anything he did — he was and still is a great man — but because of what someone did to him. My dad was meticulous as he divided a large stack of cash into separate envelopes. His hands shook with fear as he packed each envelope carefully into a box to send off to who knows where. This was

$20,000 — money my father, a retired railroad welder, didn’t even have. It came from a loan, one he continues to make payments on today. The worst part was that my dad knew he was being scammed. He knew that if he told me or any of my siblings, we would stop him. We would help him. But the scammers on the other end of that phone scared him so much that fear overcame reason and logic. I’ve recently discovered a YouTube channel called Scammer Payback. It’s led by a cybersecurity expert known only as “Pierogi,” who targets the scammers who have their sights on our parents, our grandparents, our sisters and brothers — really anyone we love. Pierogi ties the scammers up on the phone for hours. He hacks into their computers and steals their files, turning all of what he unearths over to the authorities. He has identified the leading scam operations overseas, and pushed for police to arrest them. And he’s personally called people targeted by scammers — many of whom have been victimized for years — to help them break free. Scams are nothing new, but the scope of such fraud and theft today is unprecedented. The Federal Trade Commission’s

Consumer Sentinel Network reported 4.8 million complaints of consumer fraud and identity theft in 2020 — up 45 percent from the year before. Nearly half of all Americans experienced financial identity theft in 2020, according to the Aite-Novarica Group. Nearly half. That cost all of us more than $700 billion at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. In recent weeks, AARP Long Island and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service have hosted a series of webinars with the RichnerLive arm of Herald Community Newspapers to explore all kinds of fraud —identity theft, elder fraud and, this week, romance scams. I’ve been honored to moderate these panels, which have included expert advice from AARP New York’s Long Island associate state director, Bernard Macias, as well as USPIS experts like Donna Harris, Michael Del Giudice and Joseph Marcus. We’ve learned so much. If someone calls you and asks you to send money — for any reason — be skeptical. If they want to get on your computer, say no. If they ask you to use gift cards, or tell you that you must provide them with sensitive personal information, hang up. Most important, be careful what you share. Facebook is a great way to connect

early half of all Americans experienced financial identity theft in 2020.

to those we love, but it’s also a great way for scammers to collect a ton of personal information about you — information they can weaponize in an effort to empty your bank account. Be careful about how you dispose of papers containing sensitive details about you. Scammers will dig through your garbage, and they will find exactly what they need to take what rightfully belongs to you. Join us for our final installment in the Fighting Against Fraud series on Thursday, April 28, at noon. You don’t even have to leave your living room — we’ll come right to your computer. Just register at LIHerald.com/romance. And then protect yourself by shredding sensitive documents. If you don’t have a shredder, we’ll do it for you. Bring those documents to our offices, at 2 Endo Blvd. in Garden City, this Saturday, April 30, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and we’ll shred them. Just register in advance, at LIHerald.com/shred. My dad will never see that $20,000 again. So many more like him have lost money that is now counted in the billions. But it doesn’t have to continue. We can fight scammers by being vigilant, and by educating ourselves, so we — and those we love — are never victimized again. Michael Hinman is the executive editor of the Herald Community Newspapers. He can be reached at mhinman@liherald.com.

Where have you gone, Walter Cronkite?

ast night, having been off my devices all day and peacefully oblivious to the news, I turned on the TV as I slipped into bed just to catch up. Now, you know and I know that I shouldn’t have done that, but I was feeling out of touch, so I flipped from MSNBC to CNN and Fox to see what was up with the world. The news was so horrific that it almost seemed like satire. In TV anchor rapidspeak, reporters from around the country and the world told me that: mass graves had RAnDi been found in and KREiss around Mariupol, Ukraine, as Russian forces closed in on the besieged city; wildfires were burning out of control in parts of New Mexico; Israeli and Gaza militants were at war; Florida Gov. Rick DeSantis was punishing Disney for supporting gay rights by removing its tax breaks; new audio had revealed that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy talked trash about thenPresident Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection; Florida was banning math books for alleged inappropriate “prohibit-

ed” topics, like race; and — oh, no — Netflix was cracking down on shared accounts. Sleep was out of the question. In between news segments, just to keep the anxiety level in the stratosphere, commercials from an animal rights group showed bone-thin dogs chained outside in the freezing cold. The voice-over begged for contributions to save these wretched pups. I love dogs more than people, but this commercial feels like an assault, and it doesn’t make me feel like giving more money; it makes me feel like changing the channel. That was my news experience last evening, which brings me to my question of the day: Walter Cronkite, where are you when we need you? I am certain that 24-hour news screaming at us from every device we own is detrimental to our health. The American Psychological Association states that “news consumption has a downside … More than half of Americans say the news causes them stress … anxiety, fatigue or sleep loss.” We were much better off when TV news was broadcast once or twice daily for 15 or 30 minutes. When I was a kid, my parents

watched the news at 6 and 11 p.m. For millions of viewers, CBS anchor Walter Cronkite was the voice of reason, truth and journalistic integrity every night during those brief news shows. There were no alternative facts, and “fake news” wasn’t even a blip in the nascent Trump brain. For those of you too young to remember, in 1962 Cronkite became anchorman of CBS’s newscasts. Think about it: 15 to 30 minutes of news a day on CBS or the other major channel, NBC. That was it. Cronkite didn’t have coiffed hair or trendy clothes. He made his bones as a war correspondent in World War II, flying with the U.S. Army Air Force in bombing raids over Germany. After the war, he covered the Nuremberg Trials. In 1950 he was recruited by Edward R. Murrow, another broadcast icon, at CBS News. He interviewed President John F. Kennedy to launch the first 30-minute news broadcast in September 1963, and less than three months later, on Nov. 22, he announced the death of the president on live TV. I was 16 years old. I watched, stricken, as Cronkite removed his glasses and struggled to regain his composure.

e's been replaced by 24-hour news screaming at us from every device.

In the decades since, the news on TV and online has evolved into a circus of both information and misinformation reported by anchors who range from the sublime to the ridiculous to the truly grotesque. TV personalities tell us the news, as it is selected and edited by their researchers and producers. Because the news is now broadcast 24/7, there are thousands of hours of filler and fluff beaming out at us all day and all night long. What can we do? What agency do we have with this news tsunami coming at us every hour of the day? How to stay informed and still stay sane? We are left to our own devices in more ways than one, and we need to do the most difficult thing, which is to find balance. We honor the brave correspondents who bring news of the war in Ukraine, and we honor the TV and newspaper reporters whose mission every day is to shine a light in the darkness. We need the news, but we need to calibrate our consumption. My new rule is no news before bedtime. No “notifications” on my phone. Our devices beam out information and disinformation indiscriminately. Some of it informs, but much of it triggers anxiety. We must know, and we have to teach our children, how to tell the difference.

Hello, county Human Rights Commission?

ucy Pozo fought hard not to let the people sitting in front of her see her cry. The senior at East Rockaway High School stood before the district’s Board of Education after a Donald Trump flag surfaced during the school’s annual Sports Night event last month. For Pozo, it wasn’t just about what the former president stands for, but what the display of such a flag said about some of her classmates. Some of the same people she believes target her because of her Hispanic heritage. “East Rockaway schools have failed me,” she said. “That flag, the reason why nobody was talking about it that day, is because we’re scared.” Just weeks later, there was an outcry of a different sort in Rockville Centre. A woman there who was reportedly troubled by a large menorah in front of a Chabad center — a display she said was the beginning of an Orthodox Jewish push into the community reminiscent of what has happened to the Five Towns over the past couple of decades. If the Orthodox community does move into Rockville Centre, the woman said, they will force businesses to close for the Sabbath. They will take over school boards, and send money away from the district. And then they will sell those schools “to the highest bidder.” Many called the Rockville Centre woman’s comments antisemitic, and it’s nearly impossible not to agree. Pozo’s comments, however, were followed by a number of

letters The Cuomos don’t need career advice To the Editor: Who is letter writer Larry Penner (“Career advice for the Cuomos,” March10-16) to tell two private citizens what to do with their time? Who is Larry Penner to tell a private citizen what to do with his money? The matter of Andrew Cuomo spending his campaign war chest on advertising is a matter between him, his donors and the campaign finance officials. The right to tell one’s side of the story is a basic American right. So long as he isn’t engaging in libel or slander, Cuomo has the right to freedom of speech — the same freedom of speech that allows Penner to write letters. During the media frenzy calling for Cuomo’s scalp, I saw precious

students earlier this month sharing much broader concerns about how minorities are treated at East Rockaway High. These aren’t issues unique to East Rockaway High or Rockville Centre, and they aren’t limited to these specific groups. Even as deep as we are into the 21st century, hate continues to find a foothold in our society. While much of it is focused on the color of someone’s skin, it also involves gender and gender identity, religion, where our money comes from, disability, and who we love. A recent Pew Research Center study revealed that a third of Asian Americans still fear they could be the victims of slurs, jokes and even violence over the perceived origins of the coronavirus pandemic. Locally, that has led to the founding of the Asian American Institute for Research and Engagement, designed to advocate for Asian Americans while using research and data to uncover the roots of the discrimination they face. “We are all Americans,” said Woodbury’s Farrah Mozawalla, the first-ever Muslim department head in Nassau County government, who founded the new organization. “We all believe in the same values, and it’s now time for us to combat this hatred and discrimination. We need that to stop.” The battle against hate is seemingly never-ending, but it’s a battle that must be fought. Yet it’s often unclear who is doing the battling. There are informal student and religious groups, as well as organizations like Mozawalla’s.

But Long Island has another weapon against such hatred that has been largely silent in recent months — the Nassau County Human Rights Commission. It’s made up of 15 commissioners representing those of various races and ethnicities as well as those with disabilities, according to its website. Its stated mission is to “promote harmony among the diverse populations” of the county, through “persuasion, conciliation, investigation and education.” Could there be a better time than now to promote that harmony? The work this commission does is important, but it can’t stand by while many of these issues fill the pages of your local newspaper, with the fear that things will get worse before they get better. The commission hasn’t been completely idle. Its website is full of information on what people should do if they feel they’re victims of coronavirus-related discrimination. That’s vital information, for sure. But while the pandemic has dominated our lives over the past two years, community members are bravely stepping forward to expose other issues we just can’t ignore. And if the Human Rights Commission isn’t addressing these issues, too few people will hear about them. Now is the time for it to step up. We need to promote harmony. We need to embrace the very differences that make us Americans. And we need that persuasion, conciliation, investigation and education to get that done.

find U.S. Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, of New York; Ilhan Omar, of Minnesota; Ayanna Pressley, of Massachusetts; and Rashida Tlaib, of Michigan, politically repugnant, because they advocate positions that I believe are destructive to our principles, our nation, our allies and our future. Typically, last year Ocasio-Cortez initially voted no on a bill that would have helped fund Israel’s anti-missile defense system, the “Iron Dome.” She later flipped her vote to “present” when she realized that Ronald J. her antisemitic was a little RosenbeRg venom too obvious. Despite her corrosive politics, however, I absolutely defend her right to engage in such actions for, in a democracy, she and her fellow socialists have a protected right to be heard. It is their constituents who have the power to decide whether these individuals deserve to represent their interests on Capitol Hill. In the meantime, our democracy allows us to argue, debate, question and examine their rhetoric, votes, and public policies. And yet we live in a world where freedom of speech has been suppressed by those who control the most dominant plat-

forms for public speech, social media. “Facebook jail” has become an oft-repeated phrase among those who have been banned by an algorithm programmed by those who aren’t identified, much less questioned. Some who are forced off theses platform say they are mystified as to why action was taken when they were posting photos of American flags. This isn’t exactly a new complaint, but it has become far more dangerous to democracy. As far back as 2016, it was noted that Facebook was labeling any number of conservative posts “hate speech.” The publication The Hill noted that year, “Canadian conservative activist Lauren Southern was slapped with a 30-day Facebook suspension over — ironically enough — a post complaining about Facebook censorship of conservatives. (The ban was later reversed and blamed on an error.)” This kind of subjective destruction of free speech is not unique to online commentary. In colleges and universities across the country, there’s an acknowledgment that conservative students are intimidated by their peers. Interestingly, in a 2020 essay in The Atlantic, a summary of a nationwide campus survey found a glimmer of good news and a shadow that casts a pall on free speech.

his lethal threat to our nation is being replicated in our daily interactions.

leTTeRs little of that. There are those who feel that he was not afforded due process. Who is Larry Penner to say that Cuomo doesn’t have the right to tell his side of the story? If Cuomo can obtain enough signatures on nominating petitions, and they’re vetted by the Board of Elections, he has the right to appear on the ballot. In that case, the people will decide. There has been discussion among lawmakers about impeachment proceedings should Cuomo make it back to office. That issue would be decided by a majority of the Legislature. Not Larry Penner. I’m not saying Cuomo is guilty or innocent, was or was not a good governor, or would or would not be an effective lawmaker in whatever office he chooses to seek. Only that he has the right not to be judged by a jury of one letter writer. NAT WEINER Bronx

It’s time for us to step up in Ukraine To the Editor: I am now firmly of the opinion that we must not lose the war in Ukraine. The only two acceptable solutions are to force defeat on Russia or somehow create a

It stated, “While majorities favor more viewpoint diversity and free-speech norms, an intolerant faction of roughly a quarter of students believe it is okay to silence or suppress some widely held views that they deem wrong. “Students across political perspectives engage in classroom self-censorship. “Students harbor divisive stereotypes about classmates with different beliefs, and a substantial minority are not open to engaging socially with classmates who don’t share their views. “Disparaging comments about political conservatives are common.” An equally disturbing finding from this survey was the idea that conservative students feel intimidated by the potential threat of violence from their liberal counterparts. It found that nearly 68 percent of those who described their political views as conservative censored themselves, while just under half of moderates, and only 24 percent of liberals, said they did so. Were it just an isolated virus on college campuses, you might look the other way. But this lethal threat to our nation is being replicated in government, the courts, and in our daily interaction with business associates, colleagues, friends and even family members. It has become a toxin in the body politic of a country

face-saving peace deal that will restore most of Ukraine, with the exception of the Crimea, and guarantee that it remains a neutral country. But the arrogant Russians are still mobilizing for total victory. The argument in Washington about offensive or defensive weapons is ridiculous. Do you think Russia would send billions of dollars’ worth of weapons that could easily be easily neutralized by longrange missile attacks and destroyed without consequences? You can’t win a fistfight, or a war, without being able to counterpunch. We must counter Russia’s massive attacks by giving the Ukrainians weapon systems that can attack long-range missile launch sites, including naval platforms as well as those on land in occupied Ukraine and Russia. What’s the point of transporting advanced weapons systems to Ukraine that can easily be targeted and destroyed by long-range missiles? Or allowing the continued destruction of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure without retaliating against Russia? Does anybody think the genocidal Russian or Chinese military would adopt such a bizarre passive strategy? The Russians already presume that we’re giving the Ukrainians targeting intelligence and logistics — it’s time we do so. As of now, after being beaten back into their corner of occupied Ukraine, the Russians are pre-

founded on the words of the First Amendment, guaranteeing free speech. The First Amendment is the immovable cornerstone of our nation. I often find myself at odds with who the American Civil Liberties Union will represent in court, but I stand solidly beside them when they write, “An open society depends on liberal education, and the whole enterprise of liberal education is founded on the principle of free speech. How much we value the right of free speech is put to its severest test when the speaker is someone we disagree with most. Speech that deeply offends our morality or is hostile to our way of life warrants the same constitutional protection as other speech because the right of free speech is indivisible.” Again, the ACLU gets it right when it states, “More speech — not less — is the answer most consistent with our constitutional values.” A vibrant, robust, and strong democracy requires the unequivocal defense of our freedom of speech regardless of where, when or how we choose to speak our minds. Lose that right and we have lost the Republic. Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

to be a suicidal move, with catastrophic consequences. The time has come to put another ugly, murderous, geek dictator and his fanatical minions in their graves. LOU DEHOLCzER Bronx
