Gerry was the best thing that ever happend for JC, had it not been for Gerry back in the 80's, we wouldn't have the amazing waterfront development we have today and not withstanding all the bizz that migrated from lower manhattan to DTJC.

So for all of you who may not have been around here back then, I don't exaggerate when I say He did JC right.

I was around and you ARE exaggerating. McConn is a legend in his own mind. NY money built downtown Jersey City. Not McConn, not Schundler. However, McConn has his loyal legion of lackeys who conveniently overlook his racism, substance abuse, bullying and felony conviction.

I hope that the voters of Jersey City turn out in April to vote this arrogant bully and felon off the Board of Education.

Schundler is a right wing nut but Kabili Tayari is a car stealing, no-show job holding weasel pulling down $100K per year of taxpayer money. The idea that anyone could make him a Deputy Mayor is mind-boggling.

So you'd wanna see a body swinging from a tree like in them 'good ole days'?

Well--GOOD NEWS!
We helped bring lynching to IRAQ!

It's a FREE and DEMOCRATIC country NOW! Yippee!

Maybe YOU can move there and enjoy the freedoms we reigned down on the people!

And what would YOU do with those CONVICTED here in Jersey City -- of 'white-collar crimes'?

JerseyCityPower, what would you recommend? Any criminal element that would shoot up a street trying to get at eachother, regardless of the time of day, who else they may kill, or what buildings they are shooting into (i.e. a daycare), obviously has no regard for anyone or anything but themselves. In my opinion, they should loose their right to participate in society. However, with our current criminal justice system, even if these guys go to jail they can still run their activities, So what is the point of jail. I mean a guy got shot in the face a month ago and was arrested again in this sweep.

After they have all had access to their rights guaranteed them by the constitution, if they are found guilty by a jury of their peers, why not parade them around town and invite everyone down to watch them hang. Think of the impact that class trip would have students growing up. Wanna bet that drug violence goes down in the years to come if in the back of your mind you have to worry about being hanged to death in the park in your neighborhood with all your friends and family watching?

It's worth a try in my opinion, nothing they have done so far seems to work. Do you have any suggestions?

What wrong with calling it like you see it? Maybe the politicians have a problem with it, but it doesn't preclude the avg citizen to speak the truth.

Just doing my best to be politically correct so people don't jump down my throat and throw "racist" around. It's so much easier for people do call others racist rather than addressing the actual problem and admitting the truth.

I agree - I have been to the mall and movies numerous times, although I avoid any movie theater on weekends, the weekdays I have gone there it is quiet and never had a problem. Also never had a problem in the mall itself either... nor have I ever seen it being trashy I don't know I don't need Short Hills mall to impress me. We do live in an urban area and we have all types of people that live here, we cannot be the cookie cutter Short Hills mall, that will never happen.

I don't quite understand when you write that "We do live in an urban area and we have all types of people that live here." No one is complaining about the types of people that frequent the mall. We are only complaining about the behavior of these people.

With that being said, most of the people who's behavior I have a problem with are not white nor asian. Mostly black.

Now let's not misinterpret. I'm not saying I don't like black people. I am saying that I do not like the behavior of some black people.

The problem with the mall is the people that frequent it. Ghetto trash people = ghetto trash mall. There are only a handful of stores in that mall that I would shop in. However, I usually don't. Why? Because it is a disgusting place filled with disgusting people. I get in my car and I drive to short hills.

And I try so damn hard to not stereotype. It's just damn near impossible not to.
