Jersey City woman assaulted with a cat

A 49-year-old Hoboken man was arrested Tuesday after he beat his girlfriend with a cat and punched her in the back and back of her head, according to police reports.
Around noon, Hoboken police were dispatched to 300 Marshall Dr., and a 20-year-old Jersey City woman was crying and told police that her boyfriend punched her a few times and hit her with a "feline cat," reports said. She said she had pain to her lower back and the back of her head, reports said. Police then arrested her boyfriend Lasalle Davis, of 300 Marshall Dr., with a simple assault charge for domestic violence, reports said. The woman told police that they had been dating for two years and he became mad when she did not call him the night before, reports said. When she came to Hoboken to visit her sister, he showed up, yelled at her and grabbed her right arm, reports said. She told him she no longer wanted to date him, and that?s when he picked up the cat and hit her, reports said. She declined to speak to a member of the Domestic Violence Team but did want to file a restraining order against Davis in Hudson County Superior Court, reports said. Police did not know the whereabouts or the condition of the cat. Davis' court date is set for Oct. 27 in Hoboken Municipal Court. http://www.nj.com/hobokennow/index.ss ... y_woman_says_boyfrie.html _ A feline cat, as opposed to what, canine cat? I know of cats having assault weapons aka claws, but using a cat as one, how do you do that?

Point well taken ( I still remember change being thrown at me at McDonalds in Times Sq), yes it is JC, and it is no Manhattan or Hoboken and attracts an unpleasant working crowd. However(,as in Times Sq experience,) SR accommodates such a large volume that customer service is its lowest priority. SR have picked up on speed in the past years, but I bet only because it lost customers to balking the queues. SR doesn't pay attention to human resources like many other big companies, but good service is not impossible to have in ANY area, it depends on the company, people it hires, fires, and keeps.

I didn't care much about the memorial until I saw what a horrible atrocity it was this weekend in the free paper I usually let rot on my stoop. Man can't we just have a plaque or something? An official memorial of NJ, please, sounds like the state wanted some extra bucks to skim of the the top cause who would argue against a 9-11 memorial. BLEAH is it ugly! - wow steel walls, classic beauty.

Sounds like the only Trader Joe's you been to is the one on 14th. No one is talking about putting it in place of Home Depot Target and BJs. Trader Joe's doesn't occupy large spaces for a reason, because it is not a get-all-you-need-at-one-place food shopping super-center like SR or Whole Foods. That is why the C-town space is perfect for it. It's a very affordable priced quality grocery store. In Manhattan, where grocery item prices are astronomical, I can get a box of Kashi cereal and Soy Milk at Trader Joe's for $4.50 and pay $8 at shoprite, in Jersey City, I can get organic peanut-butter at TJ's for $2.30, or for pay $4.50 at shop-rite, I can get a TWO pints of grape tomatoes for $2.40 at TJs, or pay $5 at SR, I can get edamame for $1.25, or pay $2.50 at SR, a bag of Fresh Baby Spinach? $2 at TJ, Decent sliced whole grain bread $2, SR sell its on sale for $2.69, shall I go on with my grocery list? So, I don't know where you got this idea that TJs is overpriced. Again SR has a good selection, but not the best prices or quality. Also, who cannot praise the fresh smile of every SR check out clerk as s/he pleasantly packs your bag and sends you on your way.

To live there instead of downtown? I wouldn't suggest it. I used to live a block away... A few months ago 2 cops got killed about 2 blocks away front there in a shootout...too close to the "bad area" and projects are not far. I would stay away and look more in the India street area, if sticking with JSQ.

I only ordered delivery from this place once, and I am not going to again. I thought the food was overpriced for what it was, and my shrimp wrap was all rice and about 2 shrimp. I would take bubby's shrimp burrito in a heartbeat over this sad excuse for a shrimp wrap. The food is mediocre at best. I order delivery from White Star all the time,and it has a better value and similar, if not better, quality.

They don't care because they make enough money ticketing people for street cleaning and over 2 hour parking limits. I was surprised they didn't care about the 50 ft either, shit they didn't care when some guy parked ALL NIGHT at the fire hydrant across from my place. However, after seeing how anally street cleaner comes at the first seconds of the cleaning hours, and counting all the tickets I got while I knew all the parking rules, enforcing proper traffic procedures might be more trouble than its worth to JC cops. I mean do you want deal calling a tow truck and all, it;s easier to just write an overtime parking ticket, or boot somebody for not having a parking permit. This poor parking enforcemnts do make both driving and crossing streets very dangerous. Here's a clip I saw few months ago (although it's not a parking issue, it takes place in JC right on Marin BLVD) http://videos.nj.com/jersey-journal/2 ... ver_injures_jersey_c.html

Dude, you think I didn't read the fortune article? whoa, you take me for someone who doesn't know how to google Anyway, I am happy Adler group funded Trader Joe's, or bought out, if you prefer a corporate term. I think the company has a great supply and stocking system, and it obviously very cautious on becoming corporate. Yet, having European presence in US makes me happy. Supermarkets in Europe are very pleasant and have great selection. Trader Joe's doesn't wanna go public and I am very happy with that on Adler group decision. I like the selection and the prices at Trader Joe's - it has the best value, and I would take that over any Target Superstore. I like Trader Joe's Hawaiian work shirts marketing scheme, too. People at Fortune are just frustrated because they want to make money on it.

Yes, but not the same corporation, there's a difference. No company can expand without funds and Aldi Family funded trader Joe's to expand. The same family funds many other food companies either through shares (which would indicate ownership) or direct monetary injections (which would indicate interest and contractual obligations of the fund), but the family's decisions are based on how well the fund does (into which trader Joe's deposits it's money probably based on percentage the family established, kinda like a bond.) Trader Joe's operations are left to Trader Joe's, that is why trader Joe's look nothing like Aldi or any European groceries...because it is different company from the former. If I invest money in Trader Joe's without buying shares I don't become an "owner." Aldi is a corporation, trader Joe's is not and it is not governed by Aldi's corporate decisions because investors at Aldi are not exposed to the Trader Joe's risk directly. Does Aldi own Fidelity if they share a fund where both of them keep & invest money? Aldi fund is a private family portfolio, not a corporation, no ownership involved here. I wouldn't even go as far as calling Trader Joe's a subsidiary of Aldi...I think you are mixing up Aldi fund with Aldi corporation.

Yeah the lines at Trader Joe's on 14th are insane (yet, in my opinion, dealt better with there than at A&P or that nightmare Shop Rite), but they only confirm its large fan base. And one just opened on Sixth ave and one in Brooklyn to back that one up. Trader joe's doesn't care about being THE cheapest because it never will compromise quality for price. However, it will always consider value, which neither cheapo western beef, c-town, or chains can really deliver.
Yeah a heavy price tag for the space, I agree, and poor shape of real is estate is not helping. Huge price drop can be expected though, no worries. Also, since when did Trader Joe's become a "specialty" shop? I always thought of it as a super cool grocery store given it has produce and all, but maybe my definition of grocery differs from others'. Perhaps a deli counter makes a grocery store, or a parking lot?

No I understand what you are talking about, but TJ's has a fan base that WILL walk the distance. Did you see the insanity when it opened on 14th? People took path from JC to go there. I think you are underestimating TJ's fan base in JC. And don't call it a chain, it is a very successful PRIVATELY owned company it doesn't compare to ANY grocery chains. IF the store traffic is so dependent on whether there are parking spots or not, I am sure TJ's management can make a decision to buy that funeral home across the street and level it into a lot (although I want it to become a vampire night club, but I digest)

Does every grocery store in an urban environment have to have a parking lot? Hellooo, India street? no parking there, people still come to stock up on food. PUH-lease. Jersey City is a city, remember? half of the people here have granny carts. I even had one, and I had a car too and I used them both (both are RIP now.) It has to do with this area's grocery shopping habits, which are diverse enough to support shoppers who do not require a parking spot. Remember, not everyone in Jersey City drives to go food shopping - this is not suburbia. To be honest, most people in Jersey City that do, I'd rather have them shop elsewhere, *shudders thinking about PathMark on grand*

C-town gotta go, I am so happy to see this shithole go on sale. I have been going there for almost 4 years because it is 1 block walk for me. However, I completely stopped buying any fresh meat, and rarely frozen good. They get my business for cat food and toilet paper, you know, the essentials your cat and you can't live without (my indoor cat doesn't use litter, thank god.) Sometimes when I am really lazy or don't want to deal with shop rite queuing fiasco, I buy milk and eggs there, but I better use both within a week because they are "guaranteed" to go bad by C-town.
I am surprised how many people here compare Trader Joe's to Whole Foods. Whole Foods has made a class for itself as a high-quality, organic market, meaning they don't care whether you can afford it or not. Trader Joe's works around quality and affordability, not to mention that they are a privately held company and does not act like a corporate chain. Personally, I would prefer Trader Joe's because their food is affordable and good quality. It also has an interesting selection. Sure it's not as good as Whole Foods in the selection's scope, but I think deals and variety at Trader Joe's is unmatched. Also, Whole Foods would not be interested in a small space as such, but Trader Joe's might. There's a Trader Joe's in Florham Park, NJ and it's no bigger than this C-town. I think Trader Joe's can really beautify the neighborhood. Another corporate presence will just be boring and yuppie, lets not turn it into Hoboken quite yet. Hmm I am thinking of writing a letter to Trader Joe's, it might not know about this opportunity.

I have been proposing for a while now for New York City to sell Staten Island to New Jersey in exchange for Hudson County...makes sense in proximity to Manhattan, no?...but Hudson County obviously values higher...Staten Island?...well, it's more New Jersey than Jersey City, that is why I always end up there traveling within New Jersey and make wrong turn-The freaking turnpike and the parkway takes you there...now tell me that's not New Jersey?...Jersey City always had a relationship with Manhattan...for dumping bodies, that is.

This makes me sick to my stomach...These kids think they are above everyone and attack a man who deserves nothing but respect at that age. This is disgusting, no elderly person in Jersey City should fear for his/her safety. Sure low social-economic status breeds crime, but any community upholds a certain level of morals, which is not the case here. These "tough" kids are animals. What the hell did their parents teach them? This act is cowardly and deserves nothing but the strictest punishment, akin to molesting a child.
