A day after he was lauded at City Hall by his City Council colleagues on one of his last days on the council, state Sen.-elect Hiram Monserrate was the center of attention for all the wrong reasons yesterday - charged with assaulting his girlfriend after accusing her of cheating, police sources said.And typical of "Only Ones," here's how Hiram feels about guns and those of us who don't leave our women in stitches:
Karla Giraldo, 30, needed 20 stitches to close a gash by her left eye, inflicted when Monserrate broke a drinking glass and struck her in the face, Queens prosecutors said.
New York and particularly the city has some of the toughest gun restrictions in the country. I would like to emulate what we have in the city to the state. We should be the society that no one has guns. I’m a firm supporter of gun control, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure that we have the toughest laws against trafficking in illegal guns and supporting litigation against companies who bring cheap handguns into our city.Any questions?
