When will our Illustrious Mayor Healy step up and say this is unacceptable. There is practically a shooting every day in Jersey City. When will he speak out on crime in Jersey City? Team Healy campaigned on safer streets in Jersey City.

This is unacceptable. That's two shootings in less then 36 hours on the same block. When are we getting a new police commissioner! !!
