Democrats kill jobs leaving thousands of middle class Americans unemployed, then hire an ex violent gang member still on parole as a top Democratic Party member.. Why didn’t they tell the gang member to learn coding and give the diversity job to a keystone pipeline worker? The guy is still on parole!
House Dems hire ex-gang member to top campaign post

No, as redeemed. Don't you think folks can be rehabilitated? Or are you one of those that just wants to lock them all up, in a knee jerk reaction? America, the land of equal opportunity, that's the country I serve.

SSgt Cynthia Hamilton - I put kids in the service who had records. It depends on what you did and what you are doing now. Not when someone was still on parole.

Lt Col Charlie Brown guess that means your organization just had different goals. Your post sure didn't sound like you had any grasp of redemption. Glad some folks made it past the gauntlet to get a chance.

Dyjuan Tatro does have a criminal record and is still out on parole years after release, but he also earned a college degree from reputable Bard College and participated in a prison debate team that beat Harvard. He has not had any technical or substantive violations that warranted revocation of his parole

Formerly incarcerated New Yorkers push state to pass parole overhaul — Queens Daily Eagle
“Parole in this state is punitive. The number one function is to send you back to prison.”

SSgt Addison R. - he hasn’t done his time. We will see, I think this is rushing things.

LTC David Brown
SSgt Addison R. - One of my good friends was a drug addicted and one man crime wave. Great guy until he fell off the wagon. He spent a lot of time. Jails etc. He would get out then fall a year or so later. Yes, I understand the concept. It cost me to learn the lesson. He stole from me after I let him stay with me after being in jail.

Has he served his sentence? Is he rehabilitated?
Better yet, can he serve as a role model for youngsters heading down the wrong path? Can he speak, personally, about the dangers of gangs and gang violence on a level most politicians cannot? Can he provide a message of "never too late to do the right thing?"
I am not a huge fan of the move, honestly. I would have preferred to see someone with a less-checkered past get the job, especially as I have to assume that the position is one that requires a great deal of trust and ethics. And he has a proven record of bad decisions and unethical behavior. He may well be reformed, but for a top post like that, I would think that either A) a reformed felon with an established and considerable track record of reformation and trust, or B) someone with a clean record would be called for. But, when looking at this story, rather than looking at who they should have picked instead, and just looking at this one guy as an individual in a specific job, I cannot really fault the choice... yet. Time will tell if it was a good or bad decision.
(Of course, I ain't a democrat, so the whole thing is just academic for me.)
