‘INSANE’: Zohran Mamdani Appoints Convicted Armed Robber Who Served 7 Years As Criminal Justice Advisor

There it is. This is what NYC voted for.
As the legendary NYC Mayor Ed Koch once said, “the people have spoken and they must be punished.”
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has ignited outrage by naming a former armed-robbery convict to advise his transition team on criminal justice. Mysonne Linen served seven years in prison for gunpoint cabbie robberies, is now positioned to help shape crime policy for the nation’s largest city—while police leaders, corrections officers, and law-enforcement veterans warn this sends a chilling message to both victims and cops. Combined with Mamdani’s string of ideologically charged appointments, the pick is being blasted as a preview of a radical governing agenda that risks sidelining public safety in favor of political symbolism, with critics warning the real cost will be paid on the streets.
