Showing that the Mayor cares about your iPods, Mayor Bloomberg criticized the judge who freed Javaughn Higgins, the 16 year old police shot after he stole a man's iPod, on bail. Higgins made his $150,000 bail after he was arraigned for the second degree murder of a man he robbed earlier this year. The Mayor said, "I think this is a perfect example of turnstile justice. This is somebody who was facing a murder charge and a judge just put him back on the streets to threaten you and me and our Police Department." While Judge Margarita Lopez Torres, who presided over Higgins' bail, did not comment, a spokeswoman for the Office of Court Administration tells the Daily News that bail is only a guarantee to make sure a defendant doesn't flee, versus being a punishment. Maybe the legal system needs to work faster in processing cases?
Higgins not only mugged a man of his iPod by flashing a fake gun, but also stole another's cellphone. Higgins, who was shot in the cheek and leg, was released from the hospital and into police custory yesterday.

I thought this hooligan was dead? When the story says "Police Gun Down Robber", I'm thinking he gets carried away in a bodybag. Now I'm really upset.
But does the mayor care about my SanDisk sansa m240? Hopefully, but what's really important is that muggers don't care about it. I can just imagine the perplexed look I'd get handing it over when the mugger is expecting an expensive iPod with a high Blue Book value.
So when is NYPD going to set up iPod stings? Just have some undercover cops walk around in less-than-ideal neighborhoods wearing the trademark white earbuds. Of course, some might argue this is entrapment...
Judge Margarita Lopez Torres should be fired or placed in police custody for aiding a killer.
45% increase in complaints to the Civilian Complaint Review Board based on first 6 months of Bloomberg's term and the first 6 months of this year. A little secret Bloomberg tries to hide.
