You're equating "taking responsibility for someone else's actions" and "helping someone else". They're two totally different things and not doing the former doesn't mean you don't, can't or shouldn't do the latter.

You should write "Chicken Soup for the Urban Soul". I'm hoping the strangers will be staying away from my soul in the meantime.



Well played, GG

That is funny and yes, you made me laugh...in a good way.

I beg to differ, but unless you (and we) are politicians, lobbyists, judges, lawyers, and bureaucrats you had nothing to do with it, except for ignorance, of course, but that's not sufficient. Yes I know, we elect politicians, but what are our alternatives?

I think closer to the truth is: a few bad apples spoil it for everyone. That applies to everything and doesn't make the innocent bystanders complicit.

Again, I agree that the young criminals that are terrorizing this city and other urban environments are animals. Because we treat them like animals and expect nothing else from them.

Maybe it's the sunny day and my 2009 resolution to not be so f*cking cynical and throw my hands up in disgrace all the time. Bash that all you want. But it's all of our responsibility to try to fix it. Rather than constantly denigrate an entire class of people and write them off as nothing.

Be angry. We should be angry. Be scared, too, because it's scary. It's out of control.

Glad you said "pack of hyenas" rather than "Wolf Pack". Everybody knows that Mayor Healy got rid of the "Wolf Packs" about a year ago.

Sounds like Fagin & Company in a scene from Dickens' Oliver Twist.

I know it was obvious, I was pointing it out to someone else that was calling it just a robbery. If he didnt think it was an initiation that means there might be a couple others that didnt put it together as well.


I want to point out that you may think he was "master of the obvious" but someone like me would have zero, ZERO, idea it was a gang initiation. I don't know about gangs. So thanks JerseyCityNJ 'cause I didn't know until YOU pointed it out. Don't give a shiz if that's naive, actually, I'm happy I am naive when it comes to gang initiation.

This doesnt sound like an average robbery more like a gang initiation.

One of the attackers screamed out, "Just do it already! Stab him! We know your whole family!"

Such a busy intersection even at 6:30 am. The jerks pulled an all nighter or got up early which is less likely. This is less than 50 yards from the court house and annex, and there are definitely security cameras in that area. Hopefully, they catch these scumb@gs and the attempted murder charge sticks.

POLICE BEAT
Beaten unconscious, robbed

Jersey Journal
Wednesday, March 04, 2009

A Jersey City man was beaten unconscious and nearly stabbed Saturday morning when five men robbed him as he got off a bus, police said.

The 23-year-old man had gotten off a mini-bus at Summit and Pavonia avenues Saturday at 6:30 a.m. when five men threw him to the ground and began kicking and punching him, reports said.

One of the attackers screamed out, "Just do it already! Stab him! We know your whole family!" according to reports.

Then one of the attackers tried to stab him, but the knife only cut through the victim's clothing and did not cut him because he was dressed in layers, reports said.

At this point the victim passed out, reports said. When a passerby brought him to, he determined that his iPod, worth $200, and $20 were missing, reports said.

An uncle drove him to Christ Hospital, where he was treated for injuries not considered life threatening, reports said.
