The most hilarious quote of the day from Sonia.

"If you haven't realized it by now, I am probably one of the most independent thinkers in this town."

This from the thread where she is attempting to justify her downplaying of a possible attempted rape in one of the Newport buildings.

Never said the rape happened or didn't happen, just raised the question, " So did a rape actually happen?" You need to reach your own conclusions. The truth is we can't prove it did, or the District Attorney office would have a case, they don't even have a defendant. Nor am I calling the tenant a liar, or saying that she falsified a claim, but there was a failure to substantiate a claim, and I'm also reporting circumstances surrounding this incident from which you may draw your own conclusions. I'm fine with that.

Renuka, the information I reported here is based in part on documents that have probative value, it's factual. You either leave a forwarding address or you don't. In and of itself it means nothing. As an analyst, you must know it has to do with how all the components fit. Obviously, I'm not going to disclose our sources on the internet, as they may be hesitant to talk to us in the future, but some of the information did come from the newspapers, and also, I obviously saw some documents, spoke to people, etc...

Unlike the nuts who post negative things about me (I presume you are talking about Steve Fulop's mouthpieces), most of which are personal, I have nothing against this poor woman. All rape victims have my complete, heartfelt sympathy, including her, whom I have given the benefit of the doubt. BTW, as far as I know the nuts are completely clueless in regard to this matter, and most certainly have given me no information.

I gave this message much consideration before posting on this board, and decided Newport deserves to know all the facts, before we bring this matter to closure. I may have opened a pandora's box here, but I'm just passing on information that I believe is true.

Asked what he thought when he saw on TV that Healy was elected mayor of Jersey City, the neighbor responded, "I said to myself, 'Oh my! What were those constituents thinking?'"

Don't forget that the 18% increase only refers to city taxes. This number does not include the increase in school taxs and the likely increase in county tax. Sucks to be a homeowner in a non-tax-abated property.

I was bowled over when I read that. We all know the dispatchers suck, but for Troy to acknowledge it and offer no solution was truly shocking. Perhaps a temporary solution is to call the nearest precinct instead. I did this the last time I had an emergency and the cops came swiftly.
