Jeffrey Corzine, youngest son of former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, dead at 31

The youngest son of former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine - described as a "lost" soul who battled addiction - was found dead in a Mexico City hotel through a search initiated by his family, a well-placed source told the Daily News.

Jeffrey Corzine, 31, whose body was found in Mexico's largest metropolis "several days ago," had failed to respond to messages from his loved ones, the source said. The family launched a search that tracked him down by following his credit card usage, the source added.

It wasn't immediately clear how the aspiring photographer died, but a source familiar with the circumstances said Corzine took his own life Tuesday after suffering from severe depression for an extended period. His death, the source, added, was not the result of a drug relapse.

Another source confirmed that Jeffrey had long struggled with drugs and alcohol.

Then there's this piece about lack of hospital rooms to treat the mentally ill who are out of control. It's about a Senator whose son was turned away by a hospital only to try to murder him the next morning. (He was then killed by the police.) :

The concern I share with others on this forum, is that there have been too many incidents like this when the police have been called to deal with a mentally ill person. By all means call the police, but the homeless person may not leave in cuffs.




Good point. I'd also point out that as you try to house the mentally ill in rooms without superviersion these incidences with the police will happen more frequently. There don't seem to be any answers that solve this problem.

Nothing wrong with that scenario. It's your property. It's your dog. On the hand his post about bringing an angry, lunging, barking dog to someone's house to confront someone sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. It also brings up images of this:

You seem to be taking my lighthearted post entirely too seriously. Why so serious?


Because the idea of frightening a mentally ill person with a vicious dog doesn't strike me as funny? Yeah, maybe that's it.


Well, the real life solution is to obviously call the police and have them take them away in cuffs. A sad reality (at least for the homeless guy).

Given that, scaring them off with a barking dog doesn't seem so horrible. So I think it is a great topic for an amusing concept of offering this as a service. Anyone with half a brain would see why no one is really going to do that unless it is their dog and their building.

Anyway, lighten up.


Why didn't I catch the lighthearted humor in your post? Uh, maybe because you showed up here like a derecho, headed strait for the most controversial threads and started browbeating lesser humans with your clearly superior intelligence while racking up a whopping 90+ posts in 10 days. I guess it didn't occur to me what a mischievous scamp you can be.

Now that I think about it... Vicious dogs... The homeless... Hilarious!


Can't a guy have a little fun?

Background: It's a 4 unit building. We'd rather not lock the exterior door if we can avoid it since we'd have to move the doorbells.

When calmly approached about the problem, he becomes belligerent: Today I was called a racist (yay!).


I don't want to call the police. What eles can we do?



Please, no useful advice sought! The answers I want should include some or all of the following:

? Shaming (best if it involves gentrification somehow)

? Racist / Classist accusations

??Completely useless advice

? Shrill armchair advocacy for homeless/mentally ill

? An indication I should pack up, sell the building and move to the suburbs (this one is vital)









The homeless are allergic to other people's dogs.


I should start offering a service where I scare off homeless people with my large dog. She generally can't stand them and starts barking at them whenever she sees them. They tend to avoid her like the plague.

Where is your outrage at our Democratic led Legislature for not sending a bill to Governor Christie to sign allowing manufacturers to sell direct in NJ?

And just how is the electricity generated to power these 'electric' cars? Does it come from wind farms?


I don't follow NJ Democrats. If they're anthing like the ones in Washington they're damn near worthless.

Is the electric car ready to go and free of problems? I'd rather we were spending billions of dollars on them than spending billions of dollars on new jet fighters when the ones we have can take out a 3rd world country's airforce and defense systems in one day.

Or, GM, Chrysler, and every other manufacturer decides to go the Tesla route. Thousands and thousands of dealer employees lose their jobs. How could Christie allow this attack on employees? The fact is, Tesla knew they had to come into compliance with existing (can I say 'settled') law and made scant attempt either to find a way to comply or get the Legislature on board. Again, why aren't the haters going after Sweeney?? Partisan politics, of course.
How does the inside of Christie's colon look from there?

The same thing happened to me this summer with a bathroom, and I was an old customer - he had already done my kitchen and replaced two interior flights of stairs (not a job you'd trust to anyone). I know he was eager to move and his house was for sale, so maybe he has left the area.

?Black Hitler? tortured nanny for 3 days:

A Manhattan live-in nanny was held captive and tortured for three days in an East Side apartment by her boss ? who told her he was the ?black Hitler,? police sources said on Wednesday.
The woman allegedly was held in the East 23rd Street home from 9 p.m. Saturday until 7 p.m. Tuesday, when she convinced her captor to let her run out to the bank, the sources said.
Instead, the 22-year-old woman ran to the 13th Precinct and told cops about her torture, allegedly at the hands of Sherman Gamble, 54.
Gamble was arrested that night and charged with attempted murder, kidnapping, assault, strangulation, reckless endangerment and weapons possession.
Sources said the victim is the nanny for Gamble?s 9-year-old grandson, who was home during the weekend attack.

I can only guess it was one of the regular cast of characters (six or seven people) that attend every council meeting, have multiple questions to ask about EVERY SINGLE resolution being passed, and turning what could be a 2.5 hour meeting into a 4 hours+ meeting. You know, I only wish the police would do this more often. I barely attend council meetings because I am so sick of all the usual attendees that cause these meetings to be dragged out. I can't believe that every single resolution has an effect on their lives and that all their questions are necessary. It may be their right to ask their questions but it is RUDE.


Agree. Five minutes to babble is enough. I think they should only be able to get up and bore everyone once if there isn't already that rule.
