Who Said I was from Ct. ? I am not as Naive as you think. I understand that JC is a City, but when I can't even get a Cop to my building for an in progress assault, there's a problem.

You can keep the wool over your eyes and call people names, but the bottom line is this City needs Help and douche Bags like you are not the answer!

Good riddance, Sally.

Crime is not "out of control". Nor do the police "not care".

I know it's old and tired but, you live in a city! While some of this city is inhabited by respectable, job holding tax payers, there are still some areas that are impoverished and crime ridden.

Why you moved to JC and expected the crime rates of an upscale Connecticut neighborhood is beyond comprehension.

What an assclown

This is simply Amazing...and Sad! What is a 14 yr old doing with a loaded weapon that he is neither capable or mentally grown enough to carry? This city seems to be getting worse and worse! Crime is out of control in JC and the Police seem to either not care or can't do anything about it. We need to be tougher on criminals! This Kid is a criminal and was probably up to somthing, I'm glad he shot himself and not some innocent person. Prison is not enough for these kids, they take it as a badge of honor..perhaps hard labor and reform school is the answer. I can't wait to sell my Condo and get the Hell out of JC and its crime ridden filth!

this is just awesome.

You want to charge him as much as possible so the major ones stick better.
I don't think he was j-walking tho.

Claremont Ave should be included in the tourist scenic route for JC - what a hoot !

You want them to give him a j-walking ticket too?

possession of a weapon by a minor, and possession of a prohibited weapon prob have the curfew part trump'd.

Why didn't they charge him with hollow points & the curfew?
I wonder how much time he will get in juvi & if he will be sentenced after that.

Settle down, tough guy.

hollow point .22's don't do jack.

there's hardly a dimple in them.

Karma at it's best. WTF is a 14 year old doing with hollow points????

Hopefully this piece of garbage will stop carrying after this .

Maybe his loser friends will get the picture too.... I doubt it but one can wish.

Hollow-point in the butt. That's gonna leave a mark.

Police say a 14-year-old Jersey City boy shot himself in the butt after officers ordered him and four other youths to stop Monday night.

Two plainclothes cops were patrolling the area of Claremont Avenue and Clerk Street Monday night after a string of shootings and robberies, according to a police report.

At about 11:27 p.m., the officers spotted five young men walking west on Claremont Avenue. The cops pulled out their badges and ordered the boys to stop and heard a gunshot come from where the boys were standing, police said.

Officers then noticed blood dripping down the pants leg of the 14-year-old and found a .22-caliber handgun loaded with hollow-point bullets on the sidewalk where the boy was standing.

The 14-year-old was rushed to Jersey City Medical Center for treatment for a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

The boy was charged with possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, possession of a weapon by a minor, and possession of a prohibited weapon.

The four other boys were released without charges
