Re: JC mayor purchases house in the Heights (PHOTOS)

I bring this up as an issue since some new construction downtown now has no parking and the mayor has taken a parking lot in Journal Square away from the courts which was also used by the public in the evening for development. Previously, all new development required one to one parking. Once Fulop became councilman, he reduced parking for downtown and this is now what is happening in other parts of the city as mayor. Not everyone takes the train or bus to NYC.

I've heard about this, how fucked up is that? All this construction, and yet no parking?

Maybe I should buy property, and build a parking lot for residents only downtown, probably make a killing, without having to gouge people.

Re: Democratic leaders propose modernizing NJ voting laws with ‘Democracy Act’

Just can't stay away

this whole issue is nothing but a middle school tinkling contest.

to even REGISTER to vote in NJ, you need government issued ID.

and what's the point of voting, when the whole system is rigged anyway. people burp about so-called progressive countries that fine people when they don't vote, well just exactly who is there to vote for? we just had primary, and i yawned at the lack of diversity on the ballot, might as well been the actual election.....this is supposed to be a BIG BIG BIG election year for NJ, big fuckin' whoop.....everybody will just get voted back in, and pat themselves on their backs about what a tough election season it was, cause you know, not having any competition and having to fake it, is exhausting.

Democracy is dead, and might as well be abolished.

Heh....the precious right to 'vote'....vote for fuckin' what? who?

The so-called artists in this city churn out the most crap I have ever seen.

Wait! What?!

How does that make any sense??? Are we supposed to just do nothing and allow criminals to do whatever they want, whenever they want? I hope there is more to this story because, otherwise, I think this is a major FAIL for the JCPD and the JC justice system. A citizen should be allowed to defend his life when threatened. If someone pulls a gun on you, I think it is fair for you to defend yourself pretty much however necessary, with some limits (but few ones, at that.)

It's called 'Duty to Retreat'.

Welcome to NJ.

Yeah, it works pretty much in the criminals favor, until they get caught and prosecuted, but sometimes that can take awhile...

Is it me, or do things seem to be getting a little more feral in JC?

Don't forget, they can still come after you with a civil lawsuit......

I wish someone explained to me the logic of this program.

Like, can someone give me a plausible scenario where this program would make someone safer? How would it happen?

It's basically a cash for clunkers program. If someone owns a malfunctioning or broken down old firearm, you can turn it in for a few bucks to fund a new purchase.

The program makes people safer by enticing owners of said clunkers, which could possible blow up on the user, to simply turn them in, and purchase new ones. Just like the national cash for clunker cars a few years ago, out with the unreliable, in with the new.

How dare you actually think JCPD should put themselves in harms way!!

Don't you know they have more pressing concerns, like giving out tickets, hanging out in a city park, illegally parking, and driving through red lights.
