      XPost: alt.politics.immigration, sac.sports, soc.culture.usa       XPost: alt.politics.democrats.d       From: beansoup@cnn.com              A big-mouthed poster boy for the city’s anti-stop-and-frisk       movement was suddenly tight-lipped at his arraignment on a grand-       larceny rap in Manhattan on Sunday.              Angel Ortiz, 19, was charged with grand larceny, felony       possession of a forged instrument and fraudulent accosting after       peddling phony Broadway and concert tickets to six victims on a       half-dozen occasions, authorities said.              The alleged fraudster pocketed $3,000 in the scheme, officials       said. It was his third bust on charges of selling bogus ducats       since spring.              Ortiz, who didn’t say a word in court before being remanded on       $10,000 bail, grabbed headlines in 2012 as a plaintiff in a stop-       and-frisk lawsuit filed against the city with the help of the       New York Civil Liberties Union. The NYCLU did not return request       for comment Sunday.“I could have bought the Brooklyn Bridge from       this guy, he was so charming,’’ Manes said.              At the time, Ortiz told reporters that he and his buddies “were       stopped, frisked and arrested for trespassing’’ near his Bronx       home for no reason.              Harvey Manes, a surgeon from Long Island, told The Post on       Sunday that he was one of Ortiz’s ticket-scam victims.              He said he bought two tickets from Ortiz for a Sarah Brightman       concert at Radio City Music Hall in September. He said he hadn’t       even planned on attending the event, but wound up buying the       tickets for $25 a piece after initially balking at their $100       “face value.’’              https://tinyurl.com/y2oeebwo                      --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
