The only times I've felt uncomfortable have been walking up the cliff from the 2nd street light rail at night alone because that area really isn't lighted very well (I make a point to not do it, but there have been occasions that have required me to do so).

Actually Geenville, if you had bothered to read any of my post, you would see that any Lounge (be it Caucasian, Yuppie or otherwise) with patrons that disrespectful would piss me off. Its not so much the loudness, but the lateness of the hour. When they are disrespectful pricks at 11pm, I shrug. At 2am, its getting to a point I can not tolerate. At 4am, its downright insane.

So instead of just assuming I am an angry yuppie who just hates Latin people. Your accusatory tone has no business here. Actually think about what you are saying before you hit Post.

I believe more stringent controls have to be put in place during the hiring process .

Theres way too many of these candidates for the Police academy that come with some really heavy baggage and truthly speaking create a room for concern since their carrying fire arms.

Historically speaking most police depts in large urban communities such as JC have a large number of suicide cases amongst it's rank and file .

I believe the reason behind this is due to the lax Hiring and screening process.

Lets face it when a city like JC is faced with the pressures of hiring cops, it's allmost certain that their going to lower the standards,unlike smaller suburban towns.

BTW, I agree with one of the other posters to this blog, that some of these cops are worse than the lowlifes their responsible for locking up !

Head of Jersey City police internal affairs found dead in apparent suicide

The head of the Jersey City Police Department's Internal Affairs Bureau was found dead in a Pennsylvania motel yesterday with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, officials said....

Asked if Shinnick's suicide could be linked to any investigation he was involved in, Comey said: "I don't believe that that is in fact the case."

It would be interesting to see if there's an especially high rate of suicide among Hudson County officials who "know too much." Maybe there are folks out there who are good at assisting these people with suicide.

Rising fuel prices will increase the pace of gentrification in all urban areas like Portland and JC that have mass transit systems in place and will make suburbs less attractive.

bottom line. there arent that many people that these kids will listen to. Jim Jones is someone that they will listen to. If their goal is to spread HIV awareness, i think they did a great job by selecting Jim Jones. And kudos to Jim Jones for participating. you know its easy to bash and pick apart people. But its rare you hear about the good things that some of these artists do.

The problem is that they will ignore the message about AIDS and instead will think that the life of a rapper is the best thing on earth. I live in Greenville and every kid around here wants to be a rapper, so to be one they adopt the gangster lifestyle which has lead to the deaths of MANY young men. Rap was good when it help young men empower themselves but now it helps young men destroy themselves. It has become garbage and should be thrown in the dump.

Judging by your comment, i can tell you are as ignorant about our inner city youth as you are about hip hop music. Rap is still "good". if you have a problem with the message, talk to the record labels that will only sign an artist or release an album that deal with that destructive subject matter. Many artists with positive lyrics are signed and then are told to change or dumb down their music if they want it released. Talk to the execs at the radio stations who will only play songs(with a few exceptions) that deal with that subject matter. I listen to tons of hip hop that does not deal with any types of destructive subject matter, that is very thought provoking and positive. However, you will never hear it on the radio. Just because you walk by these kids on the street doesn't mean you have a clue about what they are thinking or dealing with. Jim Jones is a great option for getting across a message that desperately needs to be given to these kids. I don't agree with everything Jim Jones says or raps about. But at the end of the day, this message about HIV needs to be delivered. And he is a great option to do it.

Donnell Rawlings is a pussy faggot hoodlum. He hid behind his girlfriends skirt, and held her in front of himself, so if I attacked, I hit her first. He will go to jail for aggravated assault, and HBO, Showtime, and Comedy Central will get the court documents of his conviction. His career is finished, as Executives are tired of hoodlum rap punks like him. He was fired from 105.1 radio station for calling Jews idiots, and making more anti semetic remarks. He's a "proven" racist. He came here, and he and his girlfrined were "in' the car, and said "fuck you white boy, we'll move when we want". He then got out of the car, and approached me, and said, "you want your ass kicked white boy". Thats when I got out of the car and put up my dukes, as I'm not afraid of a punk pussy like him. He's a documented liar and racist. Don't fall for the lying "I have a dream" speach he wants you to believe. He is a disgrace to all black people, as he commits racist crimes, and then says black 200 years of oppression stories, instead of taking responsibility for his crimes.
He'll end up in jail, and his career is finished. Dozens of black people come in my store, and call me their friends. Its just one bad apple like pussy rawlings that makes it bad for everyone. No worries mate!

I hope the crossing guard is OK and I hope she sues the driver who hit her. I thank her every time I see her out there.

I wonder if there's a way to sue the city to get it to enforce traffic laws.

First off, Troy was a good kid, true he had some bad times but what kid doesn't? who the hell are you people to criticize troy? He was always there for a friend when they needed him, and he cared about others, and i do believe he was framed with that gun. I mean, cops in Jersey City can't be trusted, i dont care what you say. But I was around troy for close to 8 months in a school and he was in the room next to mine. Do you guys have nothing better to do than try and make peoples lives miserable? Think about it. How would you feel if this was your son? Wouldn't like someone saying your kid is bad right? then back off... But Troy... RIP dude, and i'm ready to lose in another game of basketball ;P
