As I’ve mentioned before, Wikipedia’s editors have strong leftist and statist biases. This is evidenced by the way that they selectively delete content and gradually push the Point of View (POV) of articles to match their world views.
According a SurvivalBlog reader in Switzerland, the following section was deleted from Wikipedia by members of an anti-gun Wikipedia cabal on August 14, 2013. (It had been part of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns article):
Members convicted of illegal activity
Some members of MAIG have been convicted of crimes. They include:
Baltimore, Maryland – Mayor Sheila Dixon
Hartford, Connecticut – Mayor Eddie Perez
Racine, Wisconsin – Mayor Gary Becker
East Haven, Connecticut – Mayor April Capone AlmonDetroit, Michigan – Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick
Guttenberg, New Jersey – Mayor David Delle Donna
Jackson, Mississippi – Mayor Frank MeltonPassaic, New Jersey – Mayor Samuel Rivera
Austin, Texas – Mayor Will Wynn
Jersey City, New Jersey – Mayor Jerremiah Healy
Birmingham, Alabama – Mayor Larry Langford
Inglewood, California – Mayor Roosevelt F. Dorn
White Plains, New York – Mayor Adam BradleyPort St. Lucie, Florida – Mayor Patricia Christensen
Hamilton, New Jersey – Mayor John Bencivengo
Brownsville, Texas – Mayor Pat Ahumada
Monticello, New York – Mayor Gordon Jenkins
JWR Adds: Never mentioned in the Wiki article was the fact that there are charges pending against at least seven other members of their “crime fighting” organization:
Marcus Hook Mayor James ‘Jay’ Schiliro. (The “furnishing alcohol to a minor” charge was just dropped on a technicality, but he still faces misdemeanor charges of official oppression, recklessly endangering another person, unlawful restraint and false imprisonment, in a bizarre incident where he tried to force a young man to have homosexual relations, at gunpoint.)
Spring Valley, New York Mayor Noramie Jasmin
Coaldale Mayor Richard P. Corkery (Still no formal charges, after two years!)
West New York Mayor Felix Roque
Monticello Mayor Gordon Jenkins
And a couple more have left office without formal charges:
San Diego Mayor Bob “Filthy” Fillner
Morristown Mayor Donald Cresitello
And then there are those who have shamelessly refused to leave office, despite clear proof of criminal and unethical behavior:
East Orange Mayor Robert Bowser
…among others. – J.W.R.
