RIKERS ISLAND — Eight Department of Correction officers were injured — including one who was bitten on
the arm by an inmate — in two fights at the Rikers Island jail Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
Mr. Fitzpatrick says that «we would not react patiently to a German who excused his reluctance to use force in 1942 to free concentration camp
inmates if he argued that he was convinced at the time that he could do more good
by working within the system to end Nazi control than
by risking his own arrest and imprisonment in an
armed strike to free a few dozen
inmates scheduled for the gas chambers on a single morning.»
