NY: Homeless Sex Offender Killed by 1980’s Rapper The Kidd Creole
Homelessness has many risks from disease susceptibility to risk of violence, but the killing of a homeless sex offender by former Rap star and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, The Kidd Creole (of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five) will hopefully bring some more attention to the punitive component of legislated homelessness.
The report came out in NBC New York this morning and as disturbing as the killing of a homeless sex offender, is the fact that ‘The Kidd Creole’ (whose real name is Nathaniel Glover) has FOUR PRIOR ARRESTS for crimes including unlawful possession of a knife and possession of a gun. Ironically, he was last working as a security guard!
As news reports always go, the shocked neighbor had no idea that a potential murderer lived next door. They report, “Sanders couldn’t believe his neighbor was wanted in a killing.”
The State of New York must create an violent offender registry, combined with an online database, public notification, and housing and employment restrictions!
Had the good citizens of New York been aware of Creole’s history, his neighbors could have been more vigilant and ostracized him. Had he been relegated to live outside the city in rural areas, there would be fewer potential murder victims. Had employers been aware of his prior crimes, he certainly would have never worked in the security field and the stigma of being on a public registry would have led to him never becoming employed anywhere. He should have never had unsupervised access to the homeless or any other vulnerable victim.
The recidivism rate for violent crimes is 71.3 percent (Bureau of Justice Statistics)!!! How can New York not implement a registry?!?!? If it saves one life!
When you get the violence registry started let’s get a DUI registry going. How many children are killed each year in DUI accidents where the driver has previous convictions?
One big thing that I don’t like about criminal registries of any kind is that, for each new type of registry created, sex offender registries will appear more sensible/warranted to the average ignorant american.
Very true RayO
There was just a murder in Polk County by a repeat Murderer this is his third http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/victim-killed-after-apparent-domestic-dispute-in-holiday/2332334
according to google search of repeat murderer’s he is far from the only one. yet they can live where ever and no one knows cause there is no murder registry for the safety of the public, same can be said for impaired driving
ok as disturbing as it is what the hell good will it do to put up a registry
for violent crime offenders. we all know that registries only scaring and intimidate neighbors what is this going to do?.it will just become the same thing as the sex offender registry. this is just another false hope of protecting the community. and where will this money come from for this program. is there no hope for America. as a rso I have lost hope
my offense happened in 1998 1count charged in 2005 off of probation
in 2016 10years and 5mo. free from the state of florida and not.
Recidivism rate for violent crime at 71.9 % while recidivism rate for sex offenders is 5.3 %. None of this makes sense…except to those who make a living by ‘creating criminals who need to be watched and that need can be sold to a paranoid bureaucracy and coolaid drinking public’.
The worst part of this is that the vast majority will consider this a “misdemeanor murder” or will celebrate that a “dangerous sexual predator” has been “dealt with”.
I am a musician, ( unlike a rap artist ), When SORNA was implemented and word got out that I was an ex sex offender, I had a drive by shooting at my house and one of the bullets missed my head by 3 ft. then about a month later I was playing a gig, when this guy came on stage and destroyed my equipment including several guitars. Police report was filed for the shooting, but the cop asked me for my license and saw the fs# on it and said nothing can be done, then left and I have heard nothing for 9 yrs. The other was in an adult night club, the police asked the guy why he did it he said ” because he’s a sex offender”. that report was never filed, and when they took the guy outside, they let him go. Then I was fired from the gig, word got around and no one would hire me. So yes, I hope this does bring attention to the punitive effect of the registry. Vigilanties are just waiting to strike at us because of the registry, the proof is what happened to this poor guy, what happened to me and I’m positive it has happened to countless others. This has got to stop before one or more of us have had enough and nothing to lose. ” CRY HAVOC AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR”.
You are responsible for your own safety and for that of your family. Do not think that law enforcement is your friend or that they will protect you or even do the right thing when someone attacks you. Be prepared and be ready to do whatever it takes to survive and keep your family safe, you can worry about the courts later if you survive.
Those in power who strip away the constitutional rights of its citizens without due process should not feel safer than any of us do.
Perhaps one day justice will prevail and the continued punishment of those who have paid their debt will be no more. Until that time comes, be vigilant and be ready.
Remember, law enforcement is not your friend.
Sentinel Thank you and well said
DUI’s in Florida alone last yr was almost 62,000. 66.7% is the re offense rate, . Drug offense re-offense rate is 83%. Murder ?? And yet we are the only ones with a registry????? REALLY?
I get your point and I agree with that However just so you know murders reoffense rate is lower than sex offenses. Murder is least likely reoffense and sex crimes are second. Of all crimes and Worldwide
