DTG you around Wed. night to check this place out? I just cant stand the anticipation. I know all this talk about a good pork chop has got to have you interested.

Three of us went to Skinner?s Loft last night to eat at approximately at 7:30 P.M.

A few cold beers first and then headed upstairs.

Maggie was working ; she recognized us as regulars from her Hamilton Pub days and greeted us quite warmly.

We had a tall male waiter with dark complexion . He was pretty slow and looked a bit overwhelmed. Luckily , a former waitress from the Hamilton Ale House recognized us and expedited our service.

Maggie your wine list is pretty good !!!!

We had the Cod , Pork Chops and the Hagger (?) Steak The food was good and I really enjoyed the Pork Chops.

On the way out Maggie mention that her annual Christmas Party will take place in December just like at the Hamilton Ale House.

I will return for the food, the beer and the Hot Chicks at the Bar.

Guys, let?s be careful. This Council has a history of moving up Ordnances to get minimum resistance from the voters planning to attend.

The Council may move the reading up to minimizing the number of Fulopistas in attendance. They do monitor this Board!!!!! Sorry about the paranoia but this is Hudson County, ?Home of Dirty Politicians?

Please remember this is the First Reading so you will not have an opportunity to state your opinion until the end of the night, during the open session and only if you have registered with City Clerk. Regardless, please attend.

We may have different opinions on EVERYTHING but Steve Fulop deserves our support in his attempt to clean up Jersey City.

See you there,

Here a piece of Trivia for everyone.

Back in the early Spring during the JC One Gun a Month Ordnance debacle I sat down and read the 2000 ATF Gun Crime Report for Jersey City .

One fascinating fact of Gun Crime in Jersey City was that 85% of the people getting Shot in JC had a Criminal Record.

Second thing, move that awful stabbed-in-the-back statue at Exchange Place. I'd vote for someone for mayor if his or her only campaign promise was to move that statue.

EthanCrane

I'll forgive you for your hatred of fishing but before you go around removing any Statues open up a History Book and join the rest of us American that read more than one book a year!!

That Statue is for the victims of Katyn Massacre

The Katyn massacre, also known as the Katyn Forest massacre (Polish: zbrodnia katyńska, literally 'Katyń crime'), was a mass execution of Polish citizens ordered by Soviet authorities in 1940. Estimates of the number of executed persons ranges from 15,000 to 21,768). Polish POWs and prisoners were murdered in Katyn forest, Kalinin (Tver) and Kharkiv prisons and elsewhere. About 8,000 of the victims were officers taken prisoner during the 1939 invasion of Poland, the rest being Polish citizens who had been arrested for allegedly being "intelligence agents, gendarmes, spies, saboteurs, landowners, factory owners and officials." Since Poland's conscription system required every unexempted university graduate to become a reserve officer, the Soviets were thus able to round up much of the Polish intelligentsia, as well as the Jewish, Ukrainian, Georgian and Belarusian intelligentsia of Polish citizenship.

The 1943 discovery of mass graves at Katyn Forest by Germany, after its armed forces had occupied the site in 1941, precipitated a rupture of diplomatic relations between the Soviet Union and the Polish government-in-exile in London. The Soviet Union continued to deny responsibility for the massacres until 1990, when it acknowledged that the NKVD secret police had in fact committed the massacres and the subsequent cover-up. The Russian government has admitted Soviet responsibility for the massacres, although it does not classify them as war crimes or as acts of genocide, as this would have necessitated the prosecution of surviving perpetrators, which is what the Polish government has requested. It also does not classify the dead as the victims of Stalinist repressions, in effect barring their formal posthumous rehabilitation.

Any questions ????

Target gun seller's license, but trooper backs him up

Wednesday, August 22, 2007

By MICHAELANGELO CONTE

JOURNAL STAFF WRITER

Prosecutors are seeking to revoke the retail gun license of a Jersey City gun merchant, but a state trooper testified yesterday that he found no violations at the gun shop and has made no recommendation that the license be revoked.

"He met all his requirements," said Detective Donald Mundorf of the New Jersey State Police Firearm Investigation Unit, of David Murray, who owns David's Sporting Goods on Second Street near Newark Avenue.

Hudson County Assistant Prosecutor Barbara Turso argued that the theft of a handgun from the shop in June showed that Murray's continued operation was a threat to the safety of the community.

"This is based on the needs of this community, where there are far too many firearms," Turso told Superior Court Judge Fred Theemling.

The state trooper confirmed, however, that Murray now operates his business with every gun locked in a steel safe in the back room. The only thing in his glass display cases are photographs of the various gun models for sale.

"Now my gun store is the safest gun store in the country," said Murray on the stand. "If a criminal came into my store, he would grab a photo of a gun."

On June 10, two thieves entered Murray's store and one of them reached behind an unlocked display case and took a handgun while the other distracted Murray with the pretense of making a large purchase of paintball equipment.

Murray said the case was unlocked because he had been stocking it and Mundorf said it was not inappropriate for it to be unlocked because Murray was right there.

A few days later, the thief dropped the gun off to police but was not caught.

"The guy called me in tears saying I'm so scared, I want to turn the gun in," Murray testified. "I got that gun off the streets, not the police. I was concerned about someone using it on a citizen."

Murray's gun-carrying permit was revoked and his personal guns confiscated following his arrest on May 3, when he fired his .357 Magnum into the air across Newark Avenue from his store. That incident was captured on a security video showing a man punching Murray before he fires.

The state trooper said the store's security system was also appropriate and that Murray implemented any suggestions he made.

Theemling said he would give his decision on Murray's retail license at a hearing scheduled for Sept. 14.

What they probably found was a M72 Launcher Tube. A standard weapon when I was in the Army. The M72 Light Anti-Tank Weapon (LAW) would not be able to knockdown a jet plane at cruising altitude The tube it self is useless even thought quite intimidating to the layman. You can buy the tubes at any Army Surplus store for $20.00.

Unfortunately, our police department has few ex-military types that could tell at a glance what they are looking at.

For the two ladies looking for a two-bedroom apt... Where on craigslist are you looking? There are Jersey Heights apts. all over the place there...and some cheaper then $1300.00.

In fact in my neighborhood alone, there are signs for 'for rent' apts. all over the place. The heights is like every major city inner borough area...check out your neighborhood or prospective streets before plunking down the cash...

The area where you inquired has been well documented on this site for the occasional robberies, assaults, etc. so I suggest checking out the downtown or heights areas.

By the way, just so everybody knows where I'm at with this...I do NOT love the heights...a little noisy for my tastes, and try to tell people to stay away from anything west of Central ave. (NY ave, Webster ave...for most of its' stretch...), but there IS a real neighborhood feel here, plenty of cheap eats (but do NOT go anywhere near the inexplicably overrated Mexican Glory of Mexico place on Congress! -- worst service ever, food only ok, no ac - ugh!)...but my rent is cheap (less than $1000.00 for a 2-bedroom apt. and ...I am near Bowers and JFK, so the block is not too bad.

My best advice to two single women sharing an apt around here is...keep in mind that...after midnight that it is tough travelling w/o a car...the path runs sluggish, slow, and usually off schedule, and you will have to take a cab from the Journal Square station...And, NJ Transit buses run at 11:30, 12, 12:35 and that's it...until the next morning...

Best to your search

The James J. Shea Memorial Range in Bayonne is operated by the Bayonne Police PBA Local #7 and is open to civilians legally permitted to own firearms in NJ.(THEY WILL CHECK)The range has many JC shooters, a pistol league and you can receive pistol instruction from one of the trainers there.(15 minutes)

16th Street (between A and the Bay)
Bayonne, NJ
201 339 5555

Ray?s Sport Shop on 22West in Plainfield has one but it is very expensive and the ventilation is quite poor.(40 minutes)

The Bullet Hole in Belleville NJ is ok .(60 minutes)
