Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit has the first story from NYC. Judge STRIPS NYC of Control Over Rikers Island — Cites ‘Unprecedented’ Violence and Mismanagement

In a scathing 77-page ruling released Tuesday, Chief U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain officially stripped New York City and its Department of Correction (DOC) of full control over Rikers Island, citing a decade of failure to protect inmates from “grave and immediate” harm, including unconstitutional levels of violence, abuse, and systemic mismanagement.

Bearing Arms - Even Courts Can't Stop Fort Devens' Hostility Toward Gun Club

This is basically a retread of the club's initial lawsuit, which makes no sense at all. It's one of those things that shouldn't be needed. Fort Devens was told to knock it off, and rather than comply with the courts, they just keep doing the same stuff that got them sued in the first place.
