Say
it
with
me
now:
just
because
they
work
for
the
government,
it
does
not
mean
that
they
are
good
people.
Eric
Adams
is
facing
the
most
flack
for
the
Turkish
hospitality
he’s
allegedly
received,
but
he’s
far
from
the
only
(former)
New
York
employee
in
trouble
with
the
law.
The
New
York
Times
has
coverage:
An
employee
at
the
Queens
district
attorney’s
office
[Derek
Klever]
was
accused
on
Thursday
of
threatening
to
detonate
a
device
at
a
New
York
City
migrant
shelter
after
the
police
found
explosive
materials
in
his
home,
according
to
a
complaint
filed
in
Queens
criminal
court.…
Mr.
Klever
told
the
witness
that
he
had
been
tinkering
with
the
fireworks
and
that
he
was
thinking
of
renting
a
drone
he
could
use
to
drop
an
explosive,
according
to
the
complaint.
Mr.
Klever
said
that
his
intention
was
to
maim,
not
kill,
and
that
the
migrants
“should
live
in
terror
and
fear
every
day,”
the
complaint
said.
His
plan
was
far
more
sinister
than
“tinkering
with
fireworks”
leads
on.
The
“tinkering”
also
included
nail
gun
cartridges
that
were
set
to
fire
off
in
the
explosion.
The
reason?
His
neighbors
at
a
migrant
shelter
reportedly
partied
too
hard,
too
early.
I
would
imagine
that
headphones
or
moving
would
be
easier,
more
practical
responses
to
a
nose
complaint,
but
what
do
I
know?
I
don’t
work
for
the
DA.
Now,
neither
does
he
—
the
Queens
DA’s
office
confirmed
that
an
employee
was
arrested
and
terminated.
Parties
don’t
have
curfews
in
the
city
that
never
sleeps.
Want
something
different?
Move
to
Connecticut.
Klever
will
have
to
learn
his
lesson
in
prison
if
he’s
convicted.
You
can
learn
it
from
this
article.
Now
get
back
to
work.
