I'm completely shocked. Sort of. I video'd Guy Catrillo, who was my neighbor and friend when I lived around the corner in Downtown Jersey City. I knew he was campaigning so I made this video for him the night before the election.

For the record, he didn't pay me *ANYTHING* to do this. I VOLUNTEERED to do this as a favor to a neighbor and add a political video to my folio. I made friends with him through his pets Spooky, Chance and Nicky in front of his brownstone before I met him and his family; that's how we got acquainted. I'd had nothing but pleasant encounters with him, so for me this comes as a shock. On the other hand, this is Dirty Jersey, notorious for corruption in politics.

I do *firmly* believe in ones innocence until proven guilty, especially since Ive experienced being shaken down by the crooked and corrupt criminal justice system for extremely petty alleged offenses. Unfortunately the media (of which I am a part) does not make this Constitutional concept much of a reality. But corruption isn't petty, and there is often guilt by association.

So I look at this video again, wondering what had *really* been said by all the politician before my camera...

It's also ironic that the Fulop campaigners were few in numbers and in some ways, handled themselves undignified and almost to the point of spectacle as they debated the Healy campaigners. Everything looks different in light of new information. May it all wash out in the light and rain, for the benefit of the citizens of New Jersey, including those accused and whatever karma accrued. No matter what. it's a sad day for New Jersey.

  • All of these people are statist, gun-controllers, and felon apologists - because they're all felons themselves. Beldini is a convicted felon also and belongs in prison, as does Healy, an un-indicted co-conspirator.

  • Guy is now out of prison and still under control of the feds for a couple more years, so he can't speak for himself.

    Yes, he did wrong. But it is important to realize that he was targeted. He did not go out seeking a bribe. He was targeted by some very clever people with an agenda, big money, the eye on the governorship of this state and some despicable tricks.

    Guy man'd up and took his punishment. He deserves some human decency. Enough is enough. Cast the first stone if you are innocent.

  • And lots of nice guys have friends in the mob.

  • Nice going, Guy! You've finally go the spotlight that you've craved for so long.

  • "he is willing to comprimise" the laws for his pocket

  • He's a corrupt convict.

  • These disgusting pigs are turning me into as friggin' Republican. All of them. Too bad that "other" party whores themselves out to the Christinaists. Look at them b/s about Obama. How dare they. OFF TO PRISON!!! BYE!! All for a $15k bribe! What a cheap slut! ROT! Who cares that you were "born and raised in this city". Now you're off to vacation.

  • Guy Catrillo is one of the finest men I have ever met. I directed him many years ago for his "Bones" band. He is talented, passionate, intelligent and totally committed to the success of his first love, Jersey City.

    ... and a broad??? Fugetaboutit... he's 100% man with some of the most beautiful women you've ever seen.

    A great "Guy" - one you'd be proud to have as a friend.

  • I heard rumors about him wearing eyeliner but never heard he was a broad. Tell me more.

  • Healy's a drunk,

    Cory Booker must be kidding if he thinks Newark is the greatest city on Earth,

    and Catrillo used to be a woman.
