Now that freed FALN terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera has been named a special parade marshal with the title “National Freedom Hero” by officials of the New York City Puerto Rican Day Parade, victims of Rivera and the FALN should use New York State’s “Son of Sam” law to sue the parade committee and any corporate sponsors putting their names on the event.
They might also look into the possibility of using the Son of Sam law against Lopez Rivera’s political associates, such as New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, and Bronx borough president Ruben Diaz Jr.
The case that these politicians are profiting financially from Lopez Rivera’s crimes would be harder to make, but they are definitely profiting politically from his crimes.
