Dear Piece of Trash ~ Cleveland Councilman Sounds Off Against a Drug Dealer

In a July 12 letter, a copy of which you'll find below, Councilman Michael Polensek, 57, tore into Arsenio Winston, 18, after learning of the teenager's arrest earlier this month on a felony drug trafficking rap. The letter's writer and its recipient are pictured above. Winston's bust came in Cleveland's 11th Ward, which Polensek has represented since 1982. Writing that jail or a funeral home would be Winston's next stop, Polensek noted, "Quite frankly, I don't care which one you get to first as long as your dumb stupid ass is out of my neighborhood." While Polensek defended the confrontational letter in an interview with the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Winston's mother said she considered the missive a threat to her son and was conferring with her lawyer.

Will this become a new trend?

Thumbs up to Mike Polensek to speaking the truth. While His Statement may not be recieved Favorably by some, It's good to know he's been honest with what he said and have no qualms about it.
