Wish it were that simple JRL. Actually, it is...get rid of section 8, welfare, illegals and I bet crime will go down drastically. If all the same residents stay here, it will continue not to matter whom we have as a mayor.

YES! More homeless families and starving children! That's what we need. It would be great... crime would probably go way down, yes!

the other day some lady littered in front of one of my properties right after I swept it up...I said pick it up lady...she walked over picked it up and said this isnt u property. I told her actually it is..in reality I wasnt that nice.

Get rid of welfare and section 8 in JC and 90% of the problem is eliminated. I really think something needs to be done regarding healthy people that dont work and receive assistance.

Why do they need to live in a city ? the point of living in a city is to take advantage of the job market etc. Cant we build welfare cities in the desert somewhere or take delapitated cities in detroit etc and make them welfare citiies?

Summit Avenue runs from Bergen Hill, through McGinley Square, Journal Square, and the Heights. How do we know what part of Summit Ave this incident happened?

Hey GrovePath, are you the shooter? That would explain it.

Aggravated assault? Firing a gun at someone should be attempted murder. And there should be no difference between attempted murder and murder.

Both of these scumbags should be hanged in public for all to see.

And what is your point exactly JennyMama? I'd love to see you step away from your computer for a day, take a ride to Montgomery Gardens and "integrate" yourself into the "diversity" for a day. Submerge and swim it it, make friends! I'm sure you'll be very well equipped to deal with those folks with your Franklin Lakes (or whatever Bergen County town it is you came from) upbringing. It doesn't matter how much variety of people we surround ourselves with. When there's is a disparity between economic classes in one place, it doesn't make those who are well off "worldly" - it makes us "bait".

A#1: It's Mayla, not Mama.
B#2: It's Wyckoff, not Franklin Lakes.
C#3: It's too bad you color your life with fear and prejudice.

Seriously. You do not know me. What you know about me are the (often) extreme things I choose to tell you (yuppieness, dog, shoe fetish, Bergen county, etc.). These are told to you for dramatic effect and more often than not for fun or to make a point.

You don't know who my friends are, where I hang out, what I'm really like offline, face to face. You don't know how I feel when I walk down the street or when I'm out and about in Jersey City. You have NO. IDEA.

If you'd like to meet me, or any of my friends, PM me and maybe we can work something out. I think you would be surprised.

Oh, and for the record? My point was live and let live and not be so quick to judge. But that's besides the point now.

Very well put Victoria, I've noticed this too. God forbid anyone talks about a yuppie, frat boy or hipster with a negative overtone, but its ok to talk bad about people in lesser income areas. Most of the time they're automatically labled "criminals".

That's because Hoboken residents don't visit JC or know where it is or how to get here.

That's a stupid remark. I know plenty of people who live in Hoboken and work in JC, and we've hung out after hours downtown.

And even if your premise were true, ask ourselves WHY would they visit JC? For the shopping? Why on earth would they come to Newark Ave (for the 99-cent stores?) when they have Washington Street as well as a much nicer, cleaner Shop Rite?

If you have such a problem with JC then why dont you live in Hoboken? Downtown has already had the NYC and Hoboken overflow and that obviously hasnt helped fix the crime problem, so what exactly are these frat yuppie charecters going to do for the community besides make it douchey?

Thanks for the tip, wanna buy my place?

Well do you currently live Downtown? If you do and can afford that , chances are you can afford Hoboken.

Why in Gods name would you want any part of JC to be more like Hoboken? Just look at the picture, you cant even take a picture of Hoboken without having some soccer moms and biff running by.

Because I like soccer moms better then the riff raff in oversized white T's.

Yup because thats all JC has to offer. . Unreal.
