read about that in yesterday's new york times, which i think went into more depth than the msnbc story. pretty awful shit, and you just know he got screwed because he was a non-english speaking immigrant.
new york seems to be in the crapper these days. what's up with that $2 billion stadium proposal for the westside of manhattan? i can't imagine there aren't better uses for that money to improve the city's infrastructure and services that would do more for economic development than a corporate welfare program masked as a stadium for the jets.
Yeah I read the NYT story too ... but I enjoyed the dramatic and descripitive writing of the MSNBC one ("urban horror in the Bronx borough" and "Chen - an undocumented immigrant" are my two ABSOLUTE favorites). oh, and fuck that mayor.
