A day after former Hartford Deputy Mayor
Nick Carbone was brutally attacked during his routine walk to breakfast in the city's Frog Hollow neighborhood, he lay in intensive care Tuesday at Hartford Hospital waiting to learn whether he needs emergency brain surgery...
He was found bloodied and bruised about 9:15 a.m. Monday in a stone path used as a short cut from Laurel Street to Capitol, his son said. His wallet had been stolen...
"They left him for dead"...

1894C fills in some details the "
Authorized Journalists" won't bring you:
Sadly I bring you this story of a well intentioned liberal that spent decades creating a culture of government entitlement and dependency, and was beaten half to death by products of the society he helped create.
Note that this man could never have defended himself against multiple attackers all younger and stronger than he. He could not run away. He could not simply "give them what they want" he did not fight at all. He could not avoid a bad area, or dangerous time of day, he was walking the street in broad daylight on Sunday morning. In short there was only one thing Mr. Carbone could have had in his possession that may have been useful to him to prevent grievous personal injury, a firearm, along with the skill and will to use it to protect his life.
Then consider this from the article: "Carmen Rodriguez, a community activist who serves on Hartford's firearms review board with Carbone, said the city must ask itself some serious questions if an older man can't walk to breakfast without being attacked."
Yes, let's ask those questions; namely how can an elderly man protect himself from multiple assailants that intend to do him terrible harm?
Mr. Carbone promulgated a welfare society that created these predators, he served on Hartford's firearms review board that infringes on peaceable citizens inalienable right to self defense. His assault is a terrible, tragic, and all too predictable consequence of decades of policy not just an aberrant act of random violence.
And lest you think this assessment of Hartford's sociological development a mite harsh, consider
this assessment from someone in the know:
In an unusual display of public anger, Hartford's police chief Wednesday gave vent to his feelings about the recent violence afflicting his city and the lack of decency among residents.
Chief Roberts does something cool that I've not seen before--
he blogs. And furthermore, he provides for comments. I'd say that's as good a place as any to engage him on his views on concealed carry.
