A solicitation for donations to bail out a biker accused in last month’s attack on an SUV driver just off the West Side Highway popped up on the Facebook page of a city councilwoman’s motorcycle-loving staffer.
A posting appeared on the page of Queens Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras’ district manager collecting money for assault suspect Robert Sims because “the City of New York is trying to pin everything on him.”
“Help our brother the same way you know he would help you,” the posting says on the page of Ivettelis Rodriguez.
Ferreras blasted her underling in a statement to The Post.
“I am deeply disappointed with the behavior of my staffer, Ivettelis Rodriguez,” she said. “Her statements are not in any way indicative of my beliefs nor is it an accurate reflection of the high standards of personal conduct to which I hold my staff.”
But Rodriguez told The Post that someone copied a message onto her Facebook page through the “tag” function and that she doesn’t support Sims in any way.
“I just didn’t take it [the posting] down fast enough,” she said. “I don’t support him, I don’t even know him, I’ve never met him.”
Sims is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail for allegedly joining other enraged bikers in beating young father Alexian Lien in front of his terrified wife and daughter in an attack that horrified the city.
Rodriguez, Ferreras’ community liaison, immediately disabled all of her social-media pages after a blogger called the district office to ask about the fund-raising drive.
Rodriguez can be seen flipping the bird in one Facebook picture that shows her sitting atop a brand new motorcycle. “My new bitch!” the caption reads. “Can’t wait to get it on the road!”
Another snapshot shows her on a shiny red motorbike wearing a vest depicting a ample bottomed woman in a G-string sitting on the back of a bike.
Rodriguez’s husband also weighed in on the Lien beating and defended his bike riding brethren while referring to cops as “pigs,” according to his now defunct Facebook page.
“Maybe we should give them what they want to see,” he writes in one entry. “I feel like kicking off a few mirrors and smacking a few cop cars on the way home.”
“We lost two bikers to pig land,” he laments in another post. “They don’t know what crazy bikers really means. We out number them by a lot if we wanted 2.”
