Meet 4 brutal reasons not to reelect Maura Healey

Amanda Sabga//Boston Herald

“Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”

Maybe that old saw still applies in some parts of the US, but no longer in Massachusetts.

Under Gov. Maura Healey, the old TV show’s stern warning to thugs and cholos has been replaced by a new greeting from Massachusetts:

“Feel free to do the crime here, amigos, because you ain’t doing no time no way no how !”

They used to call this kind of Democrat coddling of violent criminals “revolving-door” justice.

"They used to call this kind of Democrat coddling of violent criminals “revolving-door” justice."

But in Massachusetts now the thugs seldom even make it inside the revolving doors of the so-called halls of justice.

It’s more like “drive-through” justice. With express lanes.

One-stop court appearances: free public defenders, free translators, free psychologists to explain how the terrible oppression they’ve suffered means they aren’t responsible for raping that little girl.

Maura Healey shrugs her shoulders and says these vicious Third World savages are just “neighbors.” Your neighbors, not hers, because she lives in her gal pal’s mansion in posh Arlington with armed State Police outside.

On the eve of the elections, if you haven’t voted yet, you might want to ask yourself if this is what you want four more years of.

Consider three of Maura’s neighbors from last week whose stories are, as they say, ripped from the headlines.

Meet Raul Feliciano, age 63, a “Worcester man.” He is charged with raping an underage girl in the basement of a storefront church in Milford, the Inglesia Cristina Reno de Dios.

Feliciano is a US citizen, but he’s a honorary cholo, maybe because he still speaks pidgin English after all these years. Is that how he got his get-out-of-jail-free card?

A look at Feliciano top-line rap sheet shows charges going back at least as far as 1989, including the usual – b&e building in the daytime for a felony, annoying telephone calls, larceny over $250 etc. – as well as the more offbeat, “vandalizing grave planting.”

Most significantly, Feliciano’s record includes five – cinco!—failures to properly register as a sex offender. Like everything else, Feliciano’s sex-offender-registry charges were either “closed” or “disposed.”

No consequences whatsoever. Seriously, what is the point of having a Sex Offender Registry?

How about Khristion D Mojica Gouveia? Another amigo on the Sex Offender Registry, a “Lowell man.” His address on some recent charges: “Homeless.”

Aaron Curtis/Lowell Sun

Earlier this year he was lugged for A&B on a pregnant victim and A&B on a family/household member. He got probation.Stop me if you’ve heard this one before….

Now he’s charged with allegedly slashing another victim across the neck with a box cutter during an affray outside the Salvation Army in Lowell.

“This was about an inch away from murder,” said a prosecutor.

This cholo’s top-line rap sheet includes, among so many other charges, indecent A&B on a child under 14 (disposed by plea), A&B with a deadly weapon (dismissed) and the customary “Sex Offender Failure to Register (both dismissed).

Next, c’mon down, Carlos Candelario, “Lawrence man,” arrested last week in a Tewksbury motel where cops discovered two women allegedly being held against their will.

He is now charged with kidnapping, identity fraud, intimidating a witness and drug offenses.

Candelario is 36, and his rap sheet goes back to 2007, starting with the traditional unlicensed MV operation. A year later, possession of firearm without FID (disposed). In 2021, distribution of Class A drug (dismissed) and in 2025 trafficking in 18-36 grams of heroin/morphine/opium/fentanyl (dismissed).

They never go to prison. No wonder the State Police commit all these crimes now. They see what their fellow criminals are getting away with and they think… why can’t I do whatever the hell I want too?

The problem is, normal Americans are fleeing Massachusetts in unprecedented numbers. The supply of bitter clingers, deplorables and MAGA hat wearers to be robbed is failing.

In her next term, the victims of Maura Healey’s beloved “neighbors” are increasingly going to her own voters, childless drifters like herself from parts unknown who blew in here to go to la-de-da colleges and never left.

For instance, a bicyclist, a Harvard grad who lived in Newton was struck and killed in 2024 near Memorial Drive by a “Malden man” named Jumming Zhu, age 28.

It turned out that seven weeks before running over the Harvard bicyclist from Newton, Zhu had been in a serious pre-dawn crash in Melrose after leaving the casino in Everett. The US citizen fled his wrecked white Mercedes on foot.

Cops found him a half-mile away from the wreckage, running back to Malden.

The police knew better than to arrest someone from a protected class. No sobriety tests, they just gave him a Ted Kennedy-like citation for leaving the scene of an accident. A summons.

Seven weeks later, Jumming was in a different car when he killed the Harvard grad from Newton on a bicycle on the Charles.

The victim’s family and friends were shocked. It was a terrible tragedy. They demanded serious prison time for Jumming Zhu.

But consider how many of Maura Healey’s protected classes Jumming Zhu belonged to. First, his name itself is a get-out-of-jail-free card in Massachusetts. Then there was the tattoo on his neck – perfect fashion accessory when appearing before a Maura Healey Democrat judge!

And the wokest of woke clinchers – he couldn’t speak English, or so he claimed when he demanded a Mandarin translator forhis sentencing.

In case you’re wondering, we paid for the translator. We must have, because we always do.

The judge gave Zhu a year. The victim’s family and friends were shocked at how little time he got.

Those of us who don’t live in Newton and didn’t go to Harvard were likewise stunned – that an alleged non-English speaker named Jumming Zhu would get any prison time whatsoever in Maura Healey’s Massachusetts, given his Democrat bona fides.

This is what it’s going to be like going forward, if Maura Healey is reelected Tuesday.

All I know is, if I get jammed up in the next four years and I’m guilty as hell, I’m demanding a translator – Gaelic. It’s my ancestral tongue, and who the hell are you or anybody else to say otherwise? I’m a victim too.

Once I put those headphones on, I know I’m walking out of the courtroom with probation, just like all the cholos do.

Justice for just us neighbors.

If you like the status quo in Massachusetts, be sure to vote forMaura on Tuesday.
