Well I just saw the "alleged" event with my own eyes. Pack of kids running down Wayne St. Cops & undercover cars all over the place... so it's not an "alleged" event. Just because the Jersey Journal doesn't report it, doesn't mean it never happened.

What a joke. A phone tree? Really??? That's going to stop what's going on? This isn't a snowday in grammar school. Basically nothing at all was said, or got accomplished. 98% of the cops in this town are completely useless. Period. My take is that they actually like having this park there. This way everything is "contained" to that one block. It's the scourge that's under the rug. It's the slumlord and the tenement housing that's there that is the problem. If/when that leaves, then that block will clean up. I did NOT say all the residents in those building are up to no good, but the majority of the people hanging around, dealing, etc etc LIVE THERE.

So what exactly is she writing to the mayor about then? As I said previously, she (and whoever else) had every right to hold up gay marriage rights signs as well. Holding a sign about marriage has nothing to do with religion directly. Believe me, I'm as liberal as they come, but I simply don't see the logic behind this argument. Were they holding religious services there? Satanic sacrafices? I don't get it.

Welcome to America. Where all people can have their voices heard, or attain the appropriate permits, etc and have a festival, parade or whatever may be. While I also don't agree at all with what this whole "festival" is/was about, it's what this country is about. Freedom. Next time, you have every right to protest them with your own signs. That's the beauty.

At 3:00 in the afternoon, there are many innocent people walking by. This nonsense about NA across the street is ridiculous. I'll bet you if you (could) poll the people actually selling the drugs in that playground, they couldn't give a rats ass about the NA meetings. Just like a liquor store doesn't stay open for an AA coin. Myth or not. This was a beef between 2 parties (1 or more per side) and that's that. I don't know what race they were, what they may have disagreed over, but BULLETS WERE FIRED! At 3:00 in BROAD DAYLIGHT! Honestly, I don't care if they were arguing over an Uno game, and if they were black, red, green yellow, purple of a mix of every color on the planet. STOP SHOOTING GUNS ON THE BLOCK!!!! The cops don't care because they're more scared than the residents. That's a fact. I'm not so sure I blame them either! What I'm miffed about is that for the most part, the entire VVP area is mostly pretty sane and civil. Who is continually paying off people to the look the other way? Is it M. Vega who lives on Mercer St.???

It is ridiculous. Do you have actual proof that this scenario happens? I have never, not once seen a meeting let out and watched someone cross the street to buy drugs in my entire 10 years of living here. Wouldn't you think someone that is in NA with a bunch of other people would maybe not let out and go directly across the street to buy drugs? This whole "setting up shop across from NA meetings" is a new one to me. Aren't there other NA meetings in this town? I highly doubt there is high drug activity around there. This theory is complete nonsense. Spend some time around there. You'll see a constant stream of people pulling up, double parking, then leaving. Anyone know where there's a big AA meeting. I'd like to open up a liquor warehouse right next door.

I think that's absolutely ridiculous. No one is dealing drugs there because NA is across the street. And Ferris is all the way down Montgomery, practically under the turnpike. It is a playground that is very "deep" and goes all the way to the back of the houses on Columbus. There are plenty of places to hide, you can loiter there all day, drink, etc etc. No one cop on foot is going to go up to a group of 15 people there. I've seen it happen time and time again. There is also a "core" group that hangs out on that block. For the most part, they are harmless, but I have noticed an awful lot of unfamiliar faces hanging around. Whether they are new, or just coming from elsewhere to buy drugs, hang out, shoot people or what, I don't know.

I'm still trying to figure out where the "hispanics vs. whites" came into this discussion. If you go to Enos Jones park on Brunswick, there are tons of hispanic people there and never any trouble. If you go to just about any other park/playground around here, you'll find people of all races/colors and there doesn't seem to be bullets flying. I think this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. YOU assumed it was racist blogcity. No one else did. It takes one to know one. Think about it.

Stereotypes my ass. Get off your high horse and look around you. All I said was the PEOPLE that hang around in the park cause the trouble. Stop being so ignorant to the FACTS. What stereotype am I perpetuating exactly? Would you rather me say that everyone that hangs around there is not unemployed, does not drink all day long, does not openly sell drugs, does not harass working people on their way home, never litter? Stop being so dense. Your little politically correct world doesn't exist. The sooner you realize this, the sooner maybe you yourself might be able to grasp reality.

It's not the park, it's the people! There are many parks/playgrounds in Jersey City that do not have this problem. Look around at those areas and ask yourself why they don't have constant bs going on.

Someone's gotta be filling in for Vega, etc here. Healy can't possibly be living off $98k/year salary. I would guess with all the hoopla, it shouldn't cost you more than $6 or $7k to get that variance. Just set up a "lunch" out of town and hand over some "coupons" you have in an envelope and it'll be variance schmariance....

$98,363 salary for being about as useful as a package of stale hotdog buns (actually they would have far more use for breadcrumbs, etc). Combine that with a few $20,000 "donations" a week and he's pulling in a cool million per year. Good job Mr. H.

I would go, but.... you would need baby friendly areas, changing stations, non smoking areas outdoors, absolutely no gum on the sidewalk, chairs with cushions, adjustable umbrellas, no gravel, cannot be within earshot of the lightrail, make sure it is on york st. and not bright as the wind blows down bright st. with much more force, a bicycle rack with locks provided, childcare, sandwiches for under $3, all hoboken residents denied entrance, no pets, but a pet friendly area, open 24/7, provide free taxi service within a 10 mile radius, and serve oolong tea.
