I would like to thank you for making my point. You have demonstrated with your comment that the average American can not handle the responsibility of carrying a gun in public.

GrovePath wrote: OFF THE STREETS 2 nabbed in home invasion; 5 more snared in crime web Saturday, February 09, 2008 By MICHAELANGELO CONTE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER A career criminal with a heavy heroin addiction and a second man have been charged in last week's terrifying home invasion in Jersey City, cops told The Jersey Journal yesterday. The duo tripped up by using a credit card they stole during the incident at a gas station that has a surveillance camera, police said, adding that the ensuing investigation has led to the arrests of five others on unrelated charges. Charged in the home invasion are Fredrick Robinson, 41, of Dales Avenue and Clyde Heath, 38, also of Jersey City. In the attack, a woman at 10th and Monmouth streets was awakened about 11:10 p.m. on Jan. 31 by a man in her bedroom telling her the home was being robbed. The front door had been kicked in, and she and her two children were ordered to put sheets over their heads while two men ransacked the home. The woman was also slapped before the thieves fled, cops said. A credit card stolen from the home was used at several locations over the next couple of days and when cops followed up at a gas station near the Junction they obtained a surveillance tape that showed a man in a Mercury Mountaineer whom cops recognized as Robinson, reports said. The victim identified Robinson from the videotape, and images of the vehicle's plates led police to the Mountaineer's Jersey City owner, who told them he'd been forced to lend the vehicle to a man who had also extorted thousands of dollars from him, Capt. Chet Major said. On Monday, cops spotted the Mountaineer on Armstrong Avenue and arrested four people who were in it and found drugs, jewelry and foreign coins, police said. The next day police reviewed reports and determined the coins and jewelry had been stolen from an Armstrong Avenue home on Saturday, Major said. That same day, cops also nabbed 42-year-old Mark Hill of Myrtle Avenue, the man accused of extorting the Mountaineer's owner. Charged with extortion and theft, he has 17 prior arrests and four convictions, Major said. On Wednesday, a Condict Street resident saw a man banging on doors and called police, Major said. When plainclothes Officers Brian Cullinan and Shawn Licata arrived they saw Robinson walk out of an alley and arrested him. Police found jewelry on him and while processing him they got calls from two area residents saying they had been burglarized, Major said. Robinson has been charged with burglary, robbery, credit card fraud and other offenses. Described as a heroin addict, he has 21 prior arrests, including drug charges, and 10 convictions, Major said. He was in prison from April 19, 2002 to March 28, 2005 and from April 19, 2002 to Aug. 5 of last year on burglary convictions. Heath, aka Clyde Bowens, was caught yesterday afternoon on robbery and burglary charges, Major said. Arrested in the Mountaineer on charges of receiving stolen property and drug possession were Farah McCrae, 28, of Wade Street; Dale Clark, 32, of Fairmount Avenue; Rhonda Burns, 39, of Tonnelle Avenue, and William Askew, 34, of Randolph Avenue, Major said. Detectives Mark Incinna and Al Lopez are reviewing other burglaries to determine if there are any other connections. "We are at least able now to let the community rest a little better," Police Chief Tom Comey said. "I'm proud of the effort the men and women of this department put forth. They did a great job in making arrests in what can only be described as a heinous act that scares a lot of our residents."

Great job JCPD - thank you!

Now - how about the prosecuter stepping up to the plate? With 21 prior arrests - and the violent nature of this home invasion - isn't it time to put this guy away for a long time?

And for those in the know - how realistic is it to think the individuals responsible for this will get a lengthy jail sentence?

It is unlikely that they will get a lengthy jail sentence, in my opinion that is not based on being involved in the "justice" industry in any way.

If there is an immediate outcry from the community, there is a better chance of a significant sentence. This will also demonstrate that violent criminals acting in Hamilton Park will not be spared.

I don't think people have any idea how much crime is prevented in Hamilton Park because criminals are warned that there are consequences in some neighborhoods. I don't know whether this guy forgot. But a reminder to the rest is important.

If drug addiction mitigates the seriousness of a crime, a message should be sent that this does not apply to violent crime in Hamilton Park.

We can't stop crime in Jersey City, but we can have a significant impact in deterring criminals from our neighborhood.

Make your feelings known to at least one government official. Include compliments to the JCPD for actually pursuing an investigation when it counted.

The 2nd Amendment does not mention self-defense as being the reason the right exists.

I hope we hear more details when they are ready to release them. In advance to these details, I'm saying WELL DONE JCPD!!!!
