well, i'm not as easy on the eyes as Tori Nonaka, but I do shoot competitive IDPA.
most people are ignorant on how regular citizens can be a much more competent shooter than your average LEO. some posters infantile responses reminds me of the knee-jerk reactionary replies in the gun-owning community which i have stopped participating. if you have have a logical and reasoned argument that supports your point of view - let's hear it. otherwise it just reminds me of the posts that the brain-dead NRA gun nuts i've seen. oh, but it's still okay to post photos of yourself in underwear.

He is the classic red-neck; displaying sex, guns and rock & roll.
HOWEVER, with closer observation we note the single bed, the balding mullet, the red rash in the crutch area and most likely love's dukes of hazard !! Police Chief Comey should recruit this guy to patrol JC !

No. For me, the real solution is to allow concealed carry for civilians able to demonstrate a high standard of proficiency with their chosen weapon. Then you can double or triple the security in JC without the need for cops/tax dollars. This works in hundreds of cities across the United States.

Stop & Frisk is a gross infringement of our 4th Amendment rights. I for one, will not tolerate my rights being violated in order to prop up the post-9/11 "security theatre" matrix and growing police state.
I simply have too much self respect to allow myself to be violated on this level.

Sure, it works for NYPD and it would definitely work for JCPD. But the amount of civil rights groups that will cry over it would end up costing the city more money in legal fees. The city needs more cops in general, not just walking the beat.

Actually, there is no such thing as 'gun control'. There are only those who understand and protect our innate right to keep and bear arms and those who attempt to infringe those rights. Tomorrow, I'll be up in Albany rallying for the repeal of the NY SAFE Act.
If you take your rights seriously, please come join us. http://www.meetup.com/CNY-oathkeepers/events/116674462/

It was really depressing eating lunch with my young daughter today with an ABC news segment being broadcast about all the shootings in Jersey City over the past few days. They said a 12 year old was killed in the crossfire among other things.
I hope Fulop can work well with the police to increase police efficiency and lower crime. It's not an easy or overnight task but it has to improve if JC is going to continue its' recovery...

We're just not going to agree on this. We'll see in 4 years what has happened, but there's no magic bullet for reducing crime (despite what Giuliani would have you believe, crime started decreasing rapidly before he got there and decreased at a similar, but slightly lower, rate in almost every major city during his time as mayor).
There are things to be done, and lord knows JC can do a lot more, but if there was an easy formula for this no city would have these sorts of problems and NYC wouldn't still have its own pockets that they can't seem to clean up.

I am talking about the entire area of the LES. You must not travel through the entire city like I do, Bergen Lafayette and Gv only have about 8 hot spot that are drug and gang infested. The entire city is not as bad as these 8 spots.

One street corner? I'm sure Fulop can manage that. There are still parts of NYC that are problems even now. We have entrenched poverty, generations of crime, a budget crunch and a relatively large percentage of the city that is a problem. You're going to be disappointed.

I lived on Orchard and Broom when Rudy became mayor and it was cleaned up within six months not 20 years. Besides Fulop ran on quality of life for the entire city not just part of it. Just as easily we voted him in we can vote him out.

And did that happen immediately or did it take 20 years, a lot of gentrification, a booming economy for a lot for the time and a nationwide downtrend in crime? I'm not saying he can't improve things, I'm saying he doesn't have a magic wand to make it disappear quickly. You want it 'cleaned up' in 4 years? That's simply not going to happen.

If what you say is true, then he is a failure. NYC had some of the most violent areas which have been cleaned up Bed Stuy, LES, and Harlem. If he can not clean up Jersey City then he will be voted out 2017. Ward A voted for him because we had hope he can do what the big dogs did in NYC which is way bigger than this hole in the wall. Besides he must have some sort of plan to clean up, why else would he be moving to the hood (Bergen Lafayette) which is more gangsta than GV

In reality there is only so much a mayor can do. I'm hopeful he is better, but parts of JC will remain very violent for years no matter what he does or does not do.

Now lets see if he does anything about it. I still have my doubts how tough he will be on crime, but I am hoping he proves me wrong.

Ken Thorbourne/The Jersey Journal
An explosion of gun violence has rocked Jersey City over the past week or so, seeming to culminate Friday night with the killing of a 12-year-old who was bouncing a basketball with his dad. This gun play, which Police Chief Tom Comey calls ?concerning and problematic,? has so far left about a dozen injured and two dead. The unrelated incidents have been varied. A 42-year-old woman and a 37-year-old woman, scrambling to escape gunfire, were struck by several bullets outside of a liquor store on Ocean Avenue near Claremont Avenue around 2:30 Thursday afternoon. Police don?t believe the man and the woman were the intended targets of the shooter. On May 11, a 47-year-old woman attending a fundraiser at West Side bar for a council ??candidate on Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy?s slate was hit in the chest by a stray bullet. The shooter told police he was selling Ecstasy pills in a nearby alley when two men started running away without paying for the drugs. He opened fire and a bullet struck the innocent bystander, police said. The next day, Mother?s Day, Hikeem J. Neals, 23, was found fatally shot in the head in his Kensington Avenue apartment. No one has been charged and no motive has been established. ?I was in bed when it happened. I heard shots and I got so scared,? said an 80-year-old resident who lives in the same building where Neals lived. ?This was my paradise, my home. Now I?m scared to be here.? In a bizarre case, one of the persons charged in Thursday?s shooting of a 24-year-old father is the mother of his three children. The father told police he was visiting with his kids at the Wade Street apartment of his ex, Rasheedah Martin, and was confronted by two men when he walked out of his children?s bedroom. One of the men, later identified as Shawn Gordon, 19, shot him in the thigh, according to police reports. The victim told police that he had been in family court with Martin hours earlier and that their children were to be taken away from Martin, the police report said. Martin, 31, was charged with hindering apprehension after she admitted that she had lied about the identities of the other three people allegedly involved, police said. Gordon, of Bidwell Avenue, was charged with attempted murder, conspiracy, endangering the welfare of a child, hindering apprehension and weapons charges. This latest spasm of gun violence in the city seemed to kick off Friday, May 10, when four people suffered non-life threatening gunshots wounds in the Booker T. Washington public housing complex. In another group-style attack about a week later, three men opened fire Thursday night in front of an apartment building on Summit Avenue off Grace Street. A witness told police three men walked up to the house and one of them pulled out a handgun from his waist and fired eight shots at the building. There were no reported injuries but a woman who lives on the second floor of the building told cops her window had been shot out. In a vicious act on Monday, May 13, a gunman, dressed in black, told all the kids at the Muhammad Ali Park on Armstrong Avenue to line up against a fence, according to police reports. When people at the park started to run, the gunman opened fire at the crowd and shot an 18-year-old in the right arm, police reports said. In his haste to get away, a 12-year-old boy hit his head on a fence post and needed 20 stitches to close the wound, authorities said. The investigation is ongoing. At least seven people have been murdered in Jersey City so far this year. Last year, the city hit a 40-year low with just 13 homicides for the entire year. ?The number of shooting incidents are concerning and problematic and in the midst of all this we destroyed nearly 600 guns that could have created more opportunities for criminally-minded people to disrupt the peace and quiet of our residents,? Police Chief Tom Comey stated yesterday, referring to the city?s gun-buyback program. ?Clearly there?s more work to be done on all levels of law enforcement and government.? Jersey City Mayor-elect Steve Fulop told The Jersey Journal Friday that he plans to carry on the crusade against illegal guns that Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy championed during his tenure. About the gun-buyback program, he said, ?I don?t know how effective it is ... You?re really not getting the (illegal) guns off the street.?
