Yes, it’s weird. Also antisemitic and ignorant as hell. This is the #HampdenCounty DA! #Mapoli #WesternMass

People should probably find it concerning that an elected official with the power to seize people’s property with little due process and to prosecute people is a weird liar who spreads groundless, antisemitic conspiracy theories to deflect criticism.

In December, The Republican and New England Public Media ran a series about how law enforcement has been using civil asset forfeiture in Western Mass. When interviewed for that series, Gulluni compared himself to Robin Hood, saying he was "taking [propertyl from bad sources and giving it to good." He also said that the people whose property he seized shouldn't be entitled to legal representation.
