Sex and the Subway: Pervert in Clinton Hill Area

We Have Dropped the Ball

Sex and the Subway: Pervert in Clinton Hill Area
Neighborhood: Clinton Hill Brooklyn
New York City, NY 11205
United States of America
According to the NY Post, a 59-year-old pervert named Daniel Barricella accosted a 17-year-old girl in the subway yesterday. He exposed himself and tried to get his jollies. How disgusting! He could easily be her grandfather. The girl was on her way to Brooklyn Tech High School.

This dirty old man assaulted a schoolgirl on her way to school.

Luckily, she had the wherewithal to snap a picture of the menace with her cell phone. And the police subsequently arrested him.

The pervert was released on $500 bail. Only $500! We pay more for flat-screen TV's. And he was given a 2-ride Metro Card so he could take the subway home, according to a NY Post update. We paid for this creep to get back on the subway?

We should keep schoolchildren safe from sexual abuse and psychological trauma on their way to and from school.

Last November, there was much ado over these subway sleezes. We were even talking about putting their pictures on a "Wall of Shame." There were "587 reports of sex offenses in the subway system" last year, reports the New York Times. And, undoubtedly, more unreported cases due to the embarrassment associated with the crime. Luckily, this young lady had the courage to come forward.

But the law and society have let her down. We have dropped the ball on subway sexual assaults. If we had taken action last year, this incident might not have happened.

Will we learn from this or will we be saying the same thing next year?

A wall of shame, higher bail, stiffer sentences, cameras on subway cars or whatever else it takes to keep these subway sickos away from schoolchildren is what we need to do now.

Stay safe till next time, Clinton Hill.

    sexual desire for anal sex"

    My nutty mother admitted to me that she tried to seduce my Ex but he rejected her because he was faithful to me so as pay back she continuly harrased him & falsely called the police on him after he ran into the collapsing house next door. when the 70pct arrived I told Officer Valez that I wasnt getting enouph sex & showed her my 12inch pink dildo right in front of my mother. Moms favorite passtime is desicrating religious items. My ex fiance put a lit candle for the statue of mary infront of my house & she would take it and throw it in the garbage Or the time my uncle was welding in our basement and set a fire and my nutty mother left us upstairs & didnt tell us the house was on fire. Her words when we asked her why she didnt worn us was "dont worry about it"

    2006 my mother slandered my ex-fiance thinking she was talking to mayor giulianis wife but in reality she was talking with child porn promoter lisa giuliani. Google "The Blow

    an FDNY Aux/Lt Fireman who is dying from 911

    On 17 Aug 2010 he ran into a collapsing house to rescue handicapped children & adults then he got a 10 day eviction notice from my retparents.

    Im too much of a coward to defend him from my stupid ass mother even though he protected us from the drug dealers & convicted rapist who would show up almost every day at our door in a just a towel to get a key from me(I loved it) and my mom who happily happily rented rooms to in our house.

    My ex-fiance brought my dying Grandmother back from unconsience when she suffered from diabetes low blood sugar numerous times & He stood by me when I had my seizures but that doesnt matter to our nutty family.
    My moms remedy was slapping her in the face while she lay unconsience

    When my ex nearly died standing honor guard with colors at the ground zero firemans memorial wall at Ten House at the deutch bank fire 2007 my mind was on my friend clarices "dark skinned Puerto Rican boyfriends sexual d
