New York City councilman Jumaane Williams has been sentence to time served after he was convicted of blocking an ambulance during a protest over the detention of a prominent immigration rights activist in January.
For those who don’t know, Williams is an “agitator” who was arrested too many times to even count at black-lives-matters protests, Occupy Wall Street and the Trayvon Martin protests and the “he’s not my president” protests on Inauguration Day.
A jury on Monday found Williams guilty of obstructing emergency services. He was acquitted of disorderly conduct and the more serious charge of obstruction of government services.
The 41-year-old Democrat from Brooklyn was arrested outside a federal building over the detention of Ravi Ragbir, a citizen of Trinidad who has been fighting deportation after a fraud conviction.
Williams launched his campaign to unseat incumbent Lt. Governor Kathy Hochul a few days after his arrest.
They face off in the Democratic primary on Sept. 13.

NYC Councilman Jumaane Williams Found Guilty Of Obstructing Ambulance; Represents Thousands Of Orthodox Jews
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THIS COMMENT
Moderators Response: What do you mean, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN”?
Judge this politician on how well he serves his constituents not how well he protests. We wouldn’t want the non-Jewish media writing Felder held up the state budget represents thousands of non- jews.
…and how well do you think he is serving his constituents? Great or Very Great?
Maybe we found who should run in 2020!
I’m not the YWN spokeman, but, given the recent “why is this newsworthy on YWN” comments recently, perhaps YWN is explaining with the comment why this is relevant on this site.
@yosse – Because this jew-hating animal represents Orthodox Jews. He is a socialist thug. Been arrested a thousand times. Was a major player in “Occupy Wall Street” and any other “RESIST” protest.
Great that YWN is letting the readers know who represents the,/ Time to vote this socialist out and send him to Venezuela where he will just love the socialist lifestyle.
I just got an email from my city council member Brad Lander that he is endorsing Cynthya Nixon for governor and Mr.Jumaane Williams for Lt. governor. Thank you Mr. Lander now I know whom not to vote for.
Williams has been responsive to the needs of the frum community that he represents.
