For whom the bell tolls...

As we mentioned yesterday, today at 3:45 pm the City of South Miami will convene a special meeting whose  sole purpose is to vote on whether or not to fire city manager Hector Mirabile.  So how did city manager Mirabile find himself in this mess?  Well, I'm told it's for two reasons, first off for being an overall DICK, second and most importantly my sources tell me it's because he refused to terminate (aka FIRE) his good buddy the chief of police, Orlando Martinez de Castro.  Interesting, huh?

So by the end of the day today, we're going to have another victim to add to the long list of victims that Orlando Martinez de Castro has left in his path of destruction.  While I don't feel bad for this latest casualty of the Martinez de Castro clan, I think it's worthwhile to look back at some of the innocent people that we've spoken about in the past...

The three innocent tellers that worked at the chief's wife's tag agency that were railroaded by the chief and falsely accused of stealing money or worse, Warren Papove, the South Miami handyman that was also railroaded by the chief and has been sitting in Krome detention center now for over four months.  These are just four innocent people whose lives have been destroyed by Chief (soon to be ex) Orlando Martinez de Castro, you have to ask yourself, how the hell can anyone live with themselves knowing that they've maintained whatever semblance of a life or career they may have by destroying the lives of innocent people and their families?  

I guess when you're someone like the chief somehow perhaps the power has gone to your head and you get a feeling of being untouchable.  I suppose that feeling of being untouchable must give the chief the license to fuck with people the way he does.  With all the rumors swirling around of the chief being fired or even the more laughable rumor of the chief resigning if the city of South Miami buys out the remaining term of his contract, I got a piece of advice for the chief.  After your friend and protector, Hector Mirabile, gets thrown out on his ass today, sit back and think about what you've done over the last few years, think long and hard and realize that it's in your best interest to walk away and do so rather quickly.  

See chief, you have no idea what I have on you and I'm just getting started.  You think you have a chance at beating the ethics case and keeping your job?  Think again.  I got enough to keep Joe Centorino and his gang busy for months and months to come, some of which I know is going to rise to the level of criminality.  So do yourself a favor, walk away now cause what's coming down the pike for you is no good, bad enough where even your friend over on NW 12th Avenue isn't going to be able to help you out.  

So think on it chief, think back on how we've gotten where we are, think long and hard about the three girls whose lives you turned inside and out, think about how you railroaded Warren Papove and who knows how many other people who are too scared to come forward and tell their stories.  And last but not least, think about the harm your antics have caused your good buddy Hector who is going to walk away in disgrace this afternoon with a permanent shit stain on his resume.

Stay tuned, we'll update as soon as we have news from the hearing this afternoon.
