TIME TO SLAM THE DOOR AND THROW AWAY THE KEY FOR A FEW YEARS

On July 14, 2018, Hartford Police Units were assigned to the city Fireworks show at the Riverfront plaza.

 After the fireworks had concluded officers were assisting with clearing the people from the area. At 2206 hours, Officers heard multiple gun shots ring out on the upper plaza adjacent to 1 Constitution Plaza. Without hesitation all officers in the area moved to the sound of gun fire.
 Officers J. Rowe, C. Palmieri, and E. Donnelly observed a male dressed all in black firing multiple gun shots towards a crowd of people, then attempt to flee the area southbound. Officer Rowe was the first officer to reach the suspect and ordered him at gun point to get on the ground. The suspect still clinching the firearm turned and threw it over the railing of the bridge onto the sidewalk below.

 Officer Rowe then physically took the suspect to the ground and secured him with the assistance of Officer Palmieri.

 The gun was secured by additional units responding to the area.

 A canvass for victims was negative. A check with local Hospitals was negative for shooting victims.

 A canvass was completed in the area for evidence. Located was property damage to the window and building at 1 Constitution Plaza , also the concrete planters in the courtyard were also damaged by gun fire. On the ground, seven (7) spent 9mm shell casings were found. The area was secured and CSD responded to the scene for processing. V.I.N. personnel was also on scene and assisted with the investigation. Detectives debriefed the suspect and then he was transported to HPD booking.

Arrested; Robinson, Michael, DOB 3/6/99, 11 Heritage Drive Windsor CT. Charges; Unlawful Discharge of a firearm (53-203); Reckless Endangerment (53a-63); Carrying a Pistol without a permit (29-35); Criminal Mischief 1st degree (53a-116); Theft of a Firearm (53a-212); Criminal Attempt Assault in the 1st degree (53a-49/53a-59); Breach of Peace 2nd (53a-181); Interfering with the Police (53a-167a)

Two years earlier . Robinson was allegedly the suspected shooter in a shooting incident on Mather Street/ In that incident it is believed that Robinson had mistakenly shot a young man and left him paralyzed for life. Even though a prosecutor and a judge felt that there was probable cause to issue a warrant for Robinson, GA14 in its typical fashion gave Robinson a slap on the wrist and a stern warning and sent him back into the Community to shoot again.

From the HPD wanted flier that led to Robinson\s first arrest
 :
"The Major Crimes Division is seeking assistance in locating Michael Robinson DOB 03/06/1999. Robinson has an active arrest warrant (Stop # 977) for his involvement in the shooting incident that occurred at 154 Mather Street on Wednesday May 04, 2016 (HPD case number 16-12751). Robinson has a last known address of 11 Heritage Drive in Windsor Connecticut but he is known to frequent the Garden Street, Barbour Street, Martin Street, and Judson Street areas. Robinson may be in the company of Antwane Daniels DOB 01/18/2000 who is also wanted for questioning in this incident. Officers are reminded to use caution if contact is made with Robinson as the firearm used in this incident has not been recovered." 

This time he allegedly fired  into a crowd attending a fireworks display.

Some people , such as Michael Robinson clearly do not belong in a civilized community and our City would be better served with Robinson facing a long period of incarceration until he learns how to behave. Robinson has already cau8sed enough pain and suffering , even at his young age.

Maybe this is a perfect incident for the Feds to take over since the Hartford County States Attorney couldn't get the job done the first time.

Here is more about his first alleged victim

Rowe make sure you fill out your 4 page report for pointing your weapon at him. CT is more concerned about your actions then this criminal.

The Hartford County States Attorney has never been able to get the job done. Let’s call it how it is, since she has been there the Hartford court has failed over and over again. But with a complete failure as a governer and current Hartford Mayor, these failures are tolerated, it’s the norm. Sad thing is, it’s the good Hartford residents that suffer as the criminals know GA14 is a complete joke.

Michael Robinson should pay for his reckless and dangerous behavior. He caused chaos and panic. He is lucky that no one was killed. Nice work by Hartford Police in apprehending this crook w/o much incident. Police never get the credit they deserve.

Here is a little more information about Michael, the accused in this case.

At age 2 his father, also known as Michael Robinson, was murdered while driving a car at the intersection of Main and Nelson Streets. After being shot he crashed the car he was driving into a pole and lingered for a while before dying from his wounds. Some creep shot at him and hit him as he drove by and fled into the Nelson Street/Nelton Court area. The Michael Robinson Case is featured on the Cold Case deck of cards, first edition issued by the Department of Corrections.

So at two years old, his father is a murder victim and while that is not and never will be an excuse for criminal behavior, 19 year old Michael Robinson went the wrong way into crime and is lucky he didn't kill anyone at the Fireworks.

His life began sad and will spend time in jail for his actions. I hope he learns.

Should have thrown him off the bridge so he could get his gun

And why not share the information, or do you find his behavior acceptable?
