Whether the young man was carrying or not, the consensus seem to agree that he was a relatively decent kid. This at least suggests that he was unlikely the type to be involved in violent behavior. The real dangerous sorts are not generally lamented quite this way (after being a victim of violence), since people know it goes with the territory. That's not what they're saying about this kid. The more likely scenario is that he was carrying because he was afraid for his life. People get shot for all types of insignificant reasons these days (i.e. a look, playground argument, etc.). It's all conjecture at this point since the only people who know, either aren't talking or can't. Heinous crimes like these only underscore how unsafe EVERYONE really is in this community. Dog run or no dog run. People are kidding themselves if they think otherwise.

He was only 15. The young man should be mourned.

Whatever.

Looks like the guy was carrying, and your speculation that he was carrying because he was afraid for his life is just that - speculation.

More likely he was a gangster apprentice when he went down.

More like it's repugnantly speculative to speak ill of a young man who can no longer speak for himself, especially after others have spoken up on has behalf.

The serpentine road in back of your site (that looks like it may not be there anymore?) that connected Hoboken to JC Heights has been the site of at least one murder and a few stabbings. There is gang activity in that area, too - it's just two blocks from the lovely Franklin Avenue section of the Heights.

...I hope they can make it work.

And almost everything you're bringing up is in large part the fault of the last eight years of Republican rule. So remind me again why anyone would want to vote for John McCain?

What people fail to realize is the republican/independent party already one upped the dems by electing a moderate as their candidate.

Speaks volumes about how ashamed the GOP is of itself for the past eight years, that their operatives are trying to label themselves as some sort of watered down hybrid.

I find it hard to believe that Barack never heard a hint of Rev Wright's bigot speeches during his long time part of the church.

None of the other crap brought up by Hilary or the news really bothered me until this. It is apparent that Barack is uncomfortable talking about this situation.

We got a hint at this in Michele Obama's comment that with Obama's candidacy "this was the first time in her life she was proud to be an American". It appears that Obama is a stealth candidate for the Sharptons, Farrakhan's and other black radicals.

As for this speech, Wright made it, not Obama.
