My camera did not pick up hisses and boos. I am not saying it didn't happened but it wasn't the majority of the crowd. I was shooting near the front of the church. My audio meter indicated Mr. Manzo received the highest applause.

Owner of Downtown Jersey City dogs accused in attacks due back in court today
by Michaelangelo Conte/The Jersey Journal Friday March 06, 2009, 12:35 PM A date could be set in municipal court this afternoon for the trial to decide if two pet dogs tied to several Downtown Jersey City attacks will be euthanized under the state Vicious Dog Law. The South African boerboels' owner, Susan Kolb, has asked for a trial to defend the animals and keep them from being killed. At a hearing last Friday she told Municipal Court Judge Nesle Rodriguez that she would be represented by a new lawyer today. The proceedings have been delayed several times as Kolb's previous attorney waited to get documents he needed in the discovery process. Today's pre-trial hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Jersey City Justice Complex, 365 Summit Ave., off Journal Square. The allegations and Kolb's explanations of them in an interview with The Jersey Journal are as follows: Jonathan L. Rodriguez, 24, of Brunswick Street, was injured Jan. 19 at Washington Street and Christopher Columbus Drive. He said Kolb unleashed the dogs and they ran across the street and tore into his arm. Kolb said the dogs got away from her. James Joyce, 24, said he needed six stitches after being attacked Jan. 9 by the dogs at Warren and Morris streets. Kolb said Joyce was not injured. On Sept. 21, at the park at Greene and Essex streets, police said the two dogs knocked down a woman and the 6-month-old child she was carrying. Kolb said it was an enclosed park and she let the dogs loose because she thought it was empty. After The Jersey Journal published a story about the dogs in January, law enforcement received a number of calls from residents telling of other incidents that may have involved the dogs. The male dog weighs about 160 pounds, the female about 100 pounds. They were impounded after the last incident and have been at held at the Liberty Humane Society near Liberty State Park. Kolb has complained that officials at the Humane Society have barred her from visiting the dogs and the judge has requested that a representative of the organization explain why.

A few years ago I remember seeing alot on the corner of Nelson and Leonard and seeings a sign taped next to it with a threat on it for the dog owner that the writer claimed to know who they were and where they lived. It was funny to read but you can tell the person that wrote it was serious. When I went by there after that I never saw anymore dog sh*t so I guess it worked.

I moved to the Heights in the summer and I feel the exact same way about my neighborhood... nice houses, polite people, and dog crap everywhere. I lived downtown for 3 years and thought the poop was bad there.. but seriously, it's a million times worse up here. I decided it's just what people do.. they let their dogs out to crap and leave it behind. It's just the way it is. I saw a couple fresh loads today that were so humongous, I could not believe they were left there.

Dog Poop on Magnolia Ave.

I recently moved to Magnolia Ave in the Island/hilltop part of JSQ. The neighborhood seems nice, people seem polite and the houses on magnolia seem well kept. The problem is the dog sh*t . Although I sometimes find dog sh*t everywhere around here, 1 1/2 blocks from my house, and on my route to the path, there is a block that it is just an obstacle course. It is the most disgusting thing I ve ever seen. Does anyone know whats going on and how long this has been happening?

These dudes get a call to collect a cat then return to the office. Doesn't there have to be some sort of paper work to justify their time and outcome at work or even why they are leaving the office to take a city car?
Frank the supervisor doesn't ask his staff what was the outcome or simply what was that call all about? Does everyone in that office just stare at the walls and not talk to each other? What exactly takes to be an animal control dude - is there any schooling, do you need common sense, can you do as you see fit with animals or is there any protocols and procedures to follow ?

Your other option is to go through a broker. I know it's not ideal, but they have a better inventory. That's what my husband and I ended up doing. But I definitely suggest walking around and look for For Rent signs. I honestly haven't seen a lot of them. A lot of people are going through Brokers.

 Candidates' politics of crime stats stirs public Wednesday, March 04, 2009 By AMY SARA CLARK JOURNAL STAFF WRITER About 300 people crowded into Christ the King Catholic Church last night to protest Jersey City's crime rate and hear what mayoral candidates plan to do about it. For the most part, the candidates - Phillip Webb, Daniel Levin, Assemblyman L. Harvey Smith, former Assemblyman Louis Manzo and Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy - touted similar ideas for crime prevention: more cops walking the beat, better cooperation between cops and the community, and the need to bring more jobs, youth recreation programs and drug rehabilitation programs to Jersey City. The speakers were all enthusiastically applauded after their five-minute presentations. The one area of disagreement was statistics, with rally organizers citing statistics showing that crime has gone up and Healy using other statistics to show it has gone down. "There was not a drop," said Raquel Sharper, of the Communipaw Avenue Block Association, which organized the rally with the Central Avenue Special Improvement District. Sharper pointed to such statistics as a 33 percent increase in gun-related crime between 2007 and 2008, and a 24 percent increase in burglaries during the same period. Healy countered that between 2006 and 2007, violent crime overall dropped 13 percent, and dropped 8 percent between 2007 and 2008. Manzo used the discrepancy to go on the attack. When asked his plan for improving crime prevention, he said: "I will stop manipulating crime statistics, because we are only fooling ourselves." Manzo was met by boos and hisses from the audience and a retort from Healy, who turned to the candidate and said: "Mr. Manzo, I don't lie." After the speeches, rally attendee Aleah Gathings got the mayor to promise that he would fully implement, "ASAP," the "Operation CeaseFire" model, a statewide anti-violence program that emphasizes cooperation among law enforcement agencies, community outreach, and crime prevention through initiatives such as job training. He also said his State of the City promise to increase police on the street by 15 percent between 3 p.m. and midnight would begin within days. Afterwards, rally attendees said they were impressed by all of the candidates, but no one in particular stood out. "They were all very good, and they all came from similar perspectives," said Kathleen Washington, a 61-year-old Bergen-Lafayette resident who works in marketing and communications. "It was even," agreed Norman Williams, a 45-year-old author who also lives in Bergen-Lafayette. "The mayor said we have programs and the candidates said we need more, so they kind of met in the middle." Other news accounts report that the audience in addition to the residents the audience was augmented by numerous city employees. This might explain the reports of boos and hisses. Healy has historically brought his own portable audience with him to applaud him and to boo and hiss at who ever his opposition might be.

Feral cats should not be tested for FIV or Leukemia. The incidence is around 2 - 4 %. Money is better spent on spaying and neutering.

Companion Animal Trust and volunteers will be trapping tomorrow in Lincoln Park with the help of Hudson County Park officials.
There is approximately 50 cats living in one area that will be targeted in tomorrow's trapping event. Tame cats will be taken to the JC Shelter while feral cats will be spayed and neutered and returned to the park. We anticipate that several trapping events will be required in order to get all the cats in this one particular colony. There are one or more other colonies that will need to be addressed as well. There is a cost associated with the spaying and neutering of these feral cats that the parties responsible for the dumping of cats in the park should pay for.

Jail worker is caught sleeping with 'dealer'
5 arrested; cache of drugs, weapons found at building Friday, March 06, 2009 By MICHAELANGELO CONTE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER A Hudson County corrections employee was arrested on numerous drug and weapons charges yesterday after Jersey City cops busted down the door of a suspected drug dealer and found the officer in bed with him, officials said. Fifty bags of suspected heroin, a 9mm handgun, a bulletproof vest and a samurai sword and sheath were confiscated from the apartment, cops said. Advertisement A rifle, clips, another handgun and ammunition were confiscated from another apartment in the building when cops smelled marijuana on their way out, police said. Juvenile Detention Officer Terea Lucas, 25, and Muddathir Muhammad, 28, both of Fulton Avenue at Kennedy Boulevard in Jersey City, were arrested at about 2 a.m. and charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute near a school, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and other drug and weapons charges, reports said. An investigation into Muhammad that's lasted months led narcotic officers to set up surveillance at his house Wednesday night. Officers watched as two vehicles pulled up and the drivers ran inside for a few minutes before driving off, reports said. Police got a search warrant for Muhammad's apartment at 1:22 a.m. after stopping both vehicles and finding drugs, reports said. The cops rang Muhammad's bell, but after getting no answer they busted down the door and got the couple out of bed before finding 50 bags of suspected heroin in an unoccupied child's room, officials said. They also found the bulletproof vest, the samurai sword and - inside a kitchen cabinet - a loaded 9mm handgun, officials said. As officers were leaving the apartment they smelled burning marijuana at the basement landing and found 28-year-old Ralph Durosier smoking a cigar loaded with pot and backing into his apartment, reports said. Through his open door police saw an assault rifle with a scope and a large clip of rounds laying on a sofa, reports said. Inside Durosier's apartment police also found 500 .22 caliber rounds and a revolver loaded with hollow-point bullets, reports said. He was charged with possession of marijuana and weapons offenses, including possession of an assault rifle, police said. Also arrested were the two drivers pulled over before the search: Andre Stafford, 26, of Seaview Avenue at Old Bergen Road, and Rogelio Cooper, 33, of New York, reports said. Cooper was charged with possession of marijuana, while Stafford was charged with numerous drug counts including possession of heroin with intent to distribute near a school, reports said. Guess these guys didn't hear about Mayor Healys successful gun buy back program. The gun epidemic goes on and on and on.

Hey FAB, are you a Heinlein fan? In Starship Troopers he advocated public flogging, and the parent of a convicted minor to be flogged alongside the kid. This woman sounds like flogging would do her some good. Would either plan really work as a deterrent? At least flogging can be done even if (as most likely) the family doesn't have a pot to piss in.

so, is the answer for cutting down crime never to make people responsible for their actions? accept responsibility? take pride in their community? make parents responsible for their kids?

The best way to 'Cutting down Crime' is to get rid of Healy and all the cronies he has put in place to combat it.
We should be demanding a national search for our next Police Chief and Court Judges, not just who's next in line for the job - which has only given Healy more drinking buddies and corrupt or useless officials.

My husband and I are scouting Jersey City this weekend for apartments - want to get familiar with the neighborhoods but also want to see if there is anything better than the 7 same apartment listings we've seen on Craigslist. Everyone is saying the rental market is slow but we've had some trouble finding something under 1600.00 that is pet friendly and near a Path. We have been told to walk around and look for "for rent" signs around.
